Quote

Irrigators guide the water.
Fletchers shape the arrow shaft.
Carpenters shape the wood.
The wise control themselves.
Dhammapada, 6, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Melody Beattie

Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry with your girlfriends.
Laurie Kuslansky

When you are in the field of creativity, you lose track of time. Only the flow exists.” Deepak Chopra, Buddhist

Nice to meet you Jennifer; unfortunately I have way too much to do already and will not be able to participate at this time at Allvoices. My activism has just took an overdrive turn to help the millions of Fibromyalgia sufferers that have had their lifes stripped away from them.

He is such a sweet heart. Last big dog I'll ever have though. He's pulled my ole' man (6'2" 200 pds) down a stone road (in Key West, FL) tearing his shoes to shreds just to meet another dog. He heels for me most times; but they are animals. Reese's daily hugs are priceless.

Coming out of the storm actually. Weathered a bit; but still standing. Looking forward to holidays being over so I can get back to the creative part of writing my book. Been doing research too long.

Heh, sounds like ya got some decent work done, Mary. I can understand that, gettin' into a groove of writin', writin', writin'. I've been rewriting myself lately -- again. Still on the comic book. I couldn't finish it before I needed to revise.

Well, these revisions took a heavy toll on the story in general. I did an overhaul on two major characters and then decided to change the setting and the point in my story where I begin. And I've also changed the format, felt it was gettin' too humdrum to keep my attention.

All in all, it's fun and it's keepin' me busy...but I can't wait until I'm at a point where the story is comfortable enough so I don't need to make so many drastic changes.

writin' done lately??? you had to ask...I can't stop!! I get to writing something that leads to something else. I read someone's writing and am inspired to write something then and there. Then we won't talk about the lyrics I just rewrote for my dad of "How Great Thou Art"; just finished 1st draft. My book...too much going on, can only do research now for it. My hectic life can't be on those pages; trying to calm USA down during this Recession (well, sort of, not really...whatever.............).

Ah, Mary, I grew up in a big hockey family (New York Rangers is a huge deal here).

What game did you go to? You remember the teams? (I was gonna bring this up in that violence-post, but I thought it derailed too much from the topic...'lest I concentrate on all the fights which occur).

Have you gotten any writin' done lately? (Heh, I also didn't wanna derail too much from the topic of this website).
