5 Am Wake Up Call

The world is a bit different at 5 am.  It's quieter.  Less people milling about, less wind, less chaos.

I like this place and time.  It allows me to be my authentic self.  My soul is mine, my smile (or frown), comes truly from within and is unmared by influences of others.  My mood ..is simply mine. Unapologetic.

I can be free and uninhibited because no one is around to judge, to criticize,  to laugh or point.  People can be so cruel at times, can't They? Who are they anyways, these humans who dare to impose their will on others?  Insignificant.

I like this time...this awakening of the day, mind, and body.  Thoughts spread like wildfire across the blank, tired canvas of the mind.  The agenda a myriad of possibilities, hopes and dreams.  Some dashed before 510, others gain steam as the seconds become minutes.

Muscles make themselves heard throughout the little nuances of movement....moaning and groaning their response  to the gentle urgings of the awakening mind and body.

The breath, calming as it matches pace with the lazy heartbeat....steady, rythmec and determined.  Lifesource.

I like this time ...this wake-up call.

Very poetic writing these days, Sherry. 5am (or earlier) is my time as well, lying in bed thinking about stuff until I eventually arise at 6am to tackle another new day of not sweating the small stuff and getting on with life. And so it goes ...

Welcome to the Shit Show!

 I'm trying not to breaking one of my hard and fast rules - do not  talk politics or religion .  But for the love of all things holy, I cannot not   comment on the total shit show of last nights presidential debate.     America, we're screwed!     I want the chance to write in a candidate.  I think anyone would be a better option than the two we have right now.  UGGGHHHH!   I'm soooooo tired of the bickering . right vs. left.  I'm tired of the media, I'm tired of black lives matter (ALL LIVES MATTER, shit heads!), cop kiilings, riots and the disrespect and downright hatred  of the flag, of our Country!   I'm scared for everyone concerned.  I feel  the anger, the despair, the lack of consideration and respect - not only for the country -but for humanity .   I heard Savanna Guthrie , NBC Today Show, say that Social Media was the cesspool of society."   I couldn't have said it bet...

Merry Christmas!

For Christmas 2022, I had promised Blaine that I would take him to Million (aka Michael) and get his UJ (University of Jamestown) tattoo recolored.  Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and I couldn't fulfill my promise to him. Christmas 2023 I was  subtly  reminded that I owed him his gift from last year!  He forgets  to brush his teeth or clean his apartment but gosh darn he sure remembers if it's something he wants!  Michael was all about making it look like new again and hooked us up with an appointment yesterday.   What a day!!! We started out with coffee and egg McMuffins and plenty of conversation as we rolled down the interstate! I think his mouth was going faster than we were traveling! We covered so man y topics! We laughed a lot but cried a bit too as we remembered the farm and grandpa and grandma. After the tattoo, we went ro Scheels for a few more Christmas gifts.. a swim bag for his Special Olympics swimming gea...

A Repeat...

Once in a while I receive a request to "repeat" a blog post. This is one of the repeat posts that I hope you all enjoy the 2nd time around. It was originally posted in May of 2008. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Greetings Everyone, I received an email about 9 years ago from a far-away-friend that touched me to the core. It was entitled "Life's Lessons." I printed it out and tucked it away to read when I needed some inspiration. I ran across it awhile ago and, not surprisingly, it touched me as much now as it did then. So, to my friend Lee - wherever you may be, thank you for sending me something so beautiful and for thinking of me. Be well My friend. Life's Lessons Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be; your ...
