Deep In The Forrest

Sometimes I find things when I'm digging around looking for other things. Recently, I found a copy of a letter that I wrote to "Z", shortly after we ended things. I thought it might be fun to post this, you "romantics" will probably enjoy the letter and the lovely thoughts, and anyone else who has ever been in that situation might appreciate the words. Memories are all so precious, those from then and the ones that we make every day that drive us forward. Please enjoy one of my fondest memories with me for a moment. Above all, No regrets. July 3, 1997 Dearest Z, I have thought, and thought about what to write to you at this moment for months. I guess I've never really settled on it, but what you're about to read is the best I can possibly do now. On that note, I guess I'll say that this is a Thank You, Hello, Goodbye, Thinking of You, Miss You... I guess many cards all in one letter. I was always taught to give thanks first, and I thank God every ...

Sometimes as I was saying yesterday Life can seem "out to get you". (If you read my long and worthy post-if not, GET READING!!). Yes, Life can seem so ironic or cruel... BUT--It's Officially the weekend-yeah! I'm happy about that, It takes the edge off. Still, it always feels like the weekend's fleeting before my very eyes... I hope to paint some this weekend, and I need to head down to Mom's house and check on them, and help with my niece's computer. Yesterday, our next-door neighbors' son (red head kid), came by to let us know he was intending to have a party tonight, and wanted to make sure it was o.k. if some people parked alongside the curve partly past our yard. He's always been a good kid, we said that's cool... We're noisy ourselves alot of the time. So I guess we'll see the block descended upon by some 16 year olds come nightfall. That should be interesting. Funny thing is, on my way to the store first thing this morning, I fo...

Dear Friends and Loved Ones, At first, today, I was driven on blogging about "love letter" in the spirit of NaBloPoMo, and in having some fun talking about the love letters that I have received in my life (which there weren't many), and then asking you all to share your favorite or most meaningful love letter(s) with me. However, I procrastinated (or actually was busy), so I waited until later to put my thoughts up for your perusal. It's uncanny that I did, as more things were brought to my attention today, things I was moved to share that might still merit love letters, or have a lot to do with love, as well as life, and death. These thoughts preoccupy us all at some point in our lives, thoughts about what we will do when we lose a love or loved one because of life changes, or lose someone because of death (even our pets, our very special loved ones). I have to pose a question, "Do you really ever lose someone?" My answer is "No.", yours might be ...

Today, I'm keeping it simple... and in keeping with the April NaBloPoMo Theme of "Letters" , I thought I would dig back into Music's grand archives and present some Classic songs about Love Letters. 1. Elvis Presley - Love Letters (Straight From Your Heart) 2. Patsy Cline - Love Letters In The Sand There you go, hope you enjoy those. Not everyone enjoys older music, I am pretty eclectic myself. I say you can't be a musician of any substance without studying and at least "giving respect" to our musical forefathers. We wouldn't be anything without them. Lastly, it's not really Friday (since it is Thursday), but Thursday happens to be my 'technical Friday' this week, since we have the MLK holiday tomorrow... the City-observed holiday. So 3 day weekend for me, for everyone else, T.I.N.F., eh? Don't forget, participating in NaBloPoMo, I have to post daily throughout April, so I'll be here every day, posting something. Whether you are h...
