Sometimes it just takes a word or two from a friend

Yes it has been awhile since I have written anything; don’t know why. I have been busy with the Daffodil Festival a labor of love I have been doing for 19 years. The hard economic times that seem to be swallowing up the world around me have also taken their toll on my creative spirit. Today my friend Ruthie reprimanded me for not using my God given gift to write to my advantage. My conversation with her made me sit down and write this; I had to. I have been blessed with an ability to write anything quickly and with soul; so why am I not utilizing this to better myself personally and professionally.

So now you are all stuck with me again. My fingers will once again fly over the key board; the writing pad will grace my bedside so I can write down those midnight thoughts. I will look at my everyday adventures and journalize my days and nights and let the reader decide if it is worth it or not.

My life right now is tied to the phone; waiting for the familiar tune of Jimmy Buffett’s “A pirate looks at forty” . The call will go “Hey mom, can you come and get LJ, the baby’s is coming and you need to be with my son” I will joyously retrieve the love of my life; and wait in the birthing area to meet my granddaughter and welcome her into our lives.

So, stayed tuned if you care to; I am back into the journey of life and living my life with my words close by – again thank you sista Ruth.
