A place to air my thoughts. |
| This is my first attempt at "blogging" but the idea of sharing with an impersonal audience appeals to me. I am blocked as a writer often because of my fear that something I say or do will offend or hurt. I don't ever want to be vicious just truthful. |
| I am experimenting with "images" and tried one for my signature, but I don't know if or how it works. I have been busy the past few days with other things besides writing. I have been busy with sorting and going through all my old writings. Its a memory trip reading things that you have written 10, 15 or even 25 years ago. Some I don't evem remember writing.

| I like the early hours of the morning when stillness reigns. You notice I did not say it was quiet. Where I live there is not traffic noise, but it is not silent. The birds are beginning to sing especially the robin right outside our bedroom window. I think she takes a perverse pleasure in making sure we are awake between 4:30 and 5:00 a.m. from spring until fall. Of course, I am sure she thinks that she owns the tree where her nest is. Every year the same nest is occupied so I am assuming it is the same robin or members of the same family. I don't know how long robins live. Robins are very good parents; they don't abandon their babies if they fall from the nest. I have seen more than one feeding and herding their youngsters under bushes for protection until they can fly alone and fight any creature that tries to arm their offspring. |
| This past year I have become obsessed with the thought that life is moving too quickly to that final door. I am having my midlife crisis at 63 instead of 43. I jokingly say that I will have to live to be 100 to get everything done that I want to do. However, reality is that I may not have that luxury. I have no health problems at this time, but there is not longevity in either side of my family. So the blogging is to force me out of my comfortable rut and get past the "I'll do it tomorrow attitude." Mary Wilde |
