maybe I have a sweet tooth


I think there was a time, way back, when life wasn't sugar coated. When not everyone made the team and you didn't get a participation trophy. Winners are winners because the cream rises to the top. Today I'm feeling guilty. Awards assembly day. The day when children who have worked hard deserve to be honored with recognition. Should every child receive an award? If everyone got one, then it doesn't become special or coveted. It almost becomes a joke, Best Shoe Tie-er; Least likely to Dribble at the Water Fountain.....give me a break. Awarding everyone is like saying "its okay to be mediocre.....average is fine......just get by and try not to excel" I'm sad that kids get their feelings hurt and I'm more sad that parents get theirs hurt worse. But life can not be sticky sweet all the time.

escape











my escape.......a huge cottonwood tree, a pond, a field of flowers, rolling slopes on a section of land that rejuvenates me. I plan on journeying out at least one day a week this summer, just me and my dogs and a laptop. I will sit under this tree and fulfill my writer's dream. Peace.....complete peace. Oh but watch out for the cow patties!

inspired by others

Oh my goodness, I haven't blogged in forever. Its been so long in fact that I forgot my password and had to try at least 4, including open sesame before the page magically appeared. Most of the time I just go through life, but the occasional day comes when i feel inspired to just let it all out. Right now i feel inspired to forget about the ridiculous rule of capitalizing and type as fast as i possibly can. my mind thinks so fast when i write that one thought is completely gone before i can get it down or vaguely remember what i was saying. i am inspired today by another blog i happened upon. wow! how many people do we deal with daily that are hurting deeply and we really have no clue? we really never know what people are feeling do we? and then we come across their blog and it is like a window to the soul and we get a peek of what its like to be them. they are a bit intriguing yes, but perhaps more pitiful really. it is on my heart to reach out to two ladies, completely unrelated, in particular. i'm not quite sure what i am supposed to do, but am finding my thoughts drifting to them often. i just felt the need to say.
