Deep In The Forrest

Well I am slowly but surely trying to pick up and come by and post. I still haven't had enough time to get everything packed into one day that I need lately. Still under a few different fogs. I'm trying though. Richie's grandmother passed away yesterday, and there have been a multitude of work projects weighing down. I thought I would pop in quickly and just say hello to my wonderful readers who have thought enough to stick around even though my absence has been longer than I intend most days. The weekend is here, this is Friday so why not have a very sexy, romantic song to put us all in a steamy mood for the weekend... or not. Still, I do love this song, "Lost In You" by Tank . Whatever you do this weekend, enjoy and stay safe (especially anyone who's doing left-over St. Patty celebrations).

Do you guys even read this crap? Dunno, maybe the right person who needs it will get something from reading it. Being "Back" as I said before, is still a bit of a hit and miss for me. It's not been for a lack of trying, and I still hope to get back to writing a lot more. As with anything, it's a process and we have to take it one day at a time. I'm not going to lie, there have been many things in my life that were probably more than noteworthy over the last few months, but unfortunately they are things I just can't write about publicly. They're things that are best-kept to my private journals, which don't actually exist mind you, but I really should go back to writing my journals. I think it would help me immensely. I guess life is all about changes. Sometimes they're good, and they feel fantastic, and sometimes they feel like someone took a lead pipe to your knee caps and ripped out your liver with a fork. But we have to go through them, and we ha...

Oh yes, things have been quiet around the Forrest for a good little while. You could hear the crickets, and I haven't said much lately, but I'm back and intend to get back in action and start writing. So look forward to this, maybe I can pull some interesting stories out of my hat. Meanwhile, as with any good program, we'll be back after a word from our sponsor...

If I had a handful of change for every time I have talked on this blog in the last few months about "Change", I would... have a lot of damn change. "Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the FEARFUL it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things BETTER ." ~King Whitney Jr. Please stand by for a blog post that won't be perfectly written, just as my life is not perfectly written, and just like anything about life on this Earth is not perfectly written. However, I am of the opinion that things which are not always perfectly written, end up in most cases a much better read anyway! OK to start, I am not happy with myself for neglecting my writing, blogging. I've always said I enjoy writing immensely, so to neglect it is to neglect an important part of myself. If anyone is readi...

Feeling "ok" today, nothing to really make much note of... however, I feel a little mean. You know what I mean? If you have anything smart to say, then my response is... Yeah Me :)

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. ...

Hope everyone had a great, safe and fun Halloween weekend... Mine was pretty nice. Still I struggle to write, and search aimlessly for my muse. Maybe my muse is as dead as my heart sometimes? I don't know, we'll see. Moment to moment and I will continue each day to try a little harder to get back to full creative mode. Meanwhile, today I would like to pay tribute to our loved ones who have passed on, and remember them, celebrate them and thank them for having been a part of our lives and continuing to be so, in our hearts, in our souls, in our smiles, they live forever. I would like to share a quote given me by a good friend (niece's boyfriend), basically a family member (if you will), Eddy. "En la noche de la muerte, la esperanza ve una estrella, y escuchar el amor puede escuchar el susurro de un ala." It means... [In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.] As I may have mentioned before, even as we walk through sh...
