Deep In The Forrest

It's getting colder, everywhere... Chillier days, falling leaves, life's chill. I still have my own warm heart to keep me going, that is if I can keep the fire burning. People do make it hard sometimes. We have to rise above things, and it's not always easy. Let me digress... Let's talk about something else besides my continuous growing pains. I can only imagine how boring that gets. Boy could I write a good book right now though. Going to get on that project soon... bet that. :) The weather has been giving me the lethargic and lazy qualities, so it's been a challenge for me to get everything accomplished. I have to be very tough on myself at times to meet my deadlines and get important work finished. There's really not much to report if I am not complaining about the current state of affairs in life, so I will just say that I am trying to get some work done, and listening to my Pandora Radio on my TV. Music always does help productivity for me. We'll see. ...

Yahoo it's that time again! The Weekly Words Challenge (WWC), which is brought to us by the extremely animated Tink of Pickled Beef . This week's WWC theme words are: Inanimate and Yellow. Hope is Inanimate, and I hope you participate too, but If you haven't joined the fun and want to, go here to Tink's instructions for details. I'll start with Inanimate. If you think about the textbook definition of Inanimate, it's pretty much this: in·an·i·mate ( n- n -m t) adj. 1. Not having the qualities associated with active, living organisms. See Synonyms at dead . 2. Not animated or energetic; dull. 3. Grammar Belonging to the class of nouns that stand for nonliving things: The word car is inanimate; the word dog is animate. But I also associate it with other things you can't see, like emotions and thoughts, etc. Here are a few of my Inanimate things! Small, stone feet The mannequins and clothing in this window are Inanimate objects. Although it looks almo...

We should never forget our roots... they give us strength. So I failed my 8th grade science test, what else is new? lol Now what was I saying?? Ah yes... In my years on Earth, I have yet to miss a Thanksgiving. It's always been at Mom and Dad's house (my childhood home since 2 years of age). So I can only imagine at this moment how I will feel when that is no longer possible. Holidays as I have known them will one day be nonexistent. I can't help but think about this. I know this is something that we all deal with, and a lot of people I know who have experienced loss deal with it very well, others not at all. I always get an edgy, nervous feeling around the holidays though because that is when things always tend to go wrong. I can only sit back in prayer that we make it through without anything major, you know?? I sure do miss the old days, but I say that way too much around here. Another irritating dream last night: This time, I dreamt that I woke up and it was like 4:30 i...

Right now it is 70 degrees (F), which is roughly 21 degrees (C)... That is a fantastic thing for me. The high is predicted to be about 83 F/28 C, with a low tonight of friggin 57!! (13 C). This is such a dreamy break from the August drought and heat wave we experienced. I'm not fooling myself into thinking that it can't jump back up to 99 again next week, believe me, this is Memphis we're talking about here... but I am definitely enjoying it while it's here. Great weather to just chill-literally! Then when it actually gets so cool that you can't help but feel that energetic "Snap" in your step, and shivers down your spine, breathing in that frosty delicious fall/winter air, that's when I'll really be ready to party! This has just been so nice, forgive me for going on over the weather. It's those little rains we've been having (finally) that we needed so much! Rain always refreshes everything, including my soul... Ahhhhhhhhh. Oh hey, a ques...
