A third journal of personal musings

My life always continues to change and it only stands to reason that with each change, there should be a journal dedicated to it.

If you have a chance go watch The Lady In The Van (2016). She was also great in that movie!

Yes!! I love the details. It's why I'm such a fan of Stephen King (and why I understand when people say that they don't like it.), because I love having a picture drawn for me. So it's hard for me to step outside of that when the comfort of what I like is wrapped so tightly around me.

In response to "Dialogue"

I have read the all dialogue pieces people have written here. Not fun for me. I want a story with a point of view and details about the locations, traditions, and stories within a story. Oh, a few of the ones I read were good because those I liked were on the humorous side. I think you have read so much in your lifetime that, like me, you never read a book that was entirely dialogue. Another good entry.

In response to "Dear Mom and Dad"

I love the idea of this letter and the way you wrote it I could see your upbringing. They were going to/already went through so much. I especially liked the way you expressed your appreciation and looking at the bright side of things you had no control over. In many ways, because of their choices, they did not have much control over their own lives. Isn't it a shame we get caught up in living, working, and being so busy it is hard to see the big picture.

Thank you! It has been a long time coming for us! We were almost afraid it wouldn't ever happen. We always seemed to be a step behind the housing market (and the rental market for that matter lol). Going from a 660 sqft apartment to our house has been the best thing in my life lately! It still feels like a dream some days.

Sunrises and Sunsets

Prompt:
Sunsets and Sunrise

“Why did dusk and fir-scent and the afterglow of autumnal sunsets make people say absurd things?”
L.M. Montgomery

Describe a sunset or sunrise that took your breath away. What emotions did it stir in you?

I was very lucky to have grown up just a few miles off of Lake Ontario when I lived in New York. I got spoiled with both sunrises and sunsets. Sunsets I've seen most and if you would like to see some examples, just Google: "Oswego, NY sunsets" and you'll get to see some. A lot of local photographers love to take photos of them so there are a lot to peruse through. Which makes me happy since I've moved to Indiana 11 (already somehow!) years ago.

I went to college at SUNY Oswego, which was 20 minutes from where I lived, and I remember that it was constantly mentioned that Oswego had the best sunsets in the country. I never really thought about it until I was older and especially after I've moved and I've gotten to experience them since experiencing the ones here. They really are so pretty and just...a moment. They're never the same and you can't help but stop doing what you're doing and just watch.

Having lived in central Indiana for the last 11 years, I miss being so close to Lake Ontario. There's a type of peace that it brings and it's definitely emphasized when there's a sunrise or sunset. It's a type of peace that is internal. I miss that a lot. Definitely something I took for granted, even though I appreciated having it so close by.
