A Gypsy Soul , the Dreamer and the Realist.

So...what's going on in my life?  Hmmm, nothing.   That's both good and bad.  Good in that I don't necessarily want drama, strife or stress to grace my door .  Bad in that it feels like I'm going through the motions of living  or I'm in some sort of holding pattern.  That's a little concerning given the fact that I'm a live out loud typed of gal.  I've always lived by the creed that life is meant to be lived not watched.  

Maybe it's the weather??

All I know is that I need to shake it up a little bit...do something out of the ordinary. Something to get me out of this holding pattern.   But what, is the question.  Dye my hair pink?  Get a nose ring or another tattoo?  In truth, Spring always gives me a bit of wanderlust.  I get antsy; I want to go barefoot, throw open the sunroof and play the stereo loud, take a road trip or sleep out under the stars.  
Gypsy soul rears it's head and screams to be let out.   It's nothing new for me.  It's happened time and time again.  I'm usually able to talk to her and calm her down....I guess that is what I'm doing now.    

Dreamer in me walks hand and hand with the gypsy soul.  The dreamer teases her an says ' ahhh, but imagine if you were free to wander, couldn't you see yourself in Bora Bora teaching yoga on the beach? Or hiking in the Grand Tetons, or riding bike across the US.

Realist in me says "ahhhh, but who is going to pay the bills?  You have responsibilities and obligations....You're 56 - you're not supposed to have wanderlust.  Grow up child.'

Then I smile.  The Realist, the Gypsy and the Dreamer need each other in order to live life...my life. 
 Realist keeps the other two girls in check and speaks to their sensibilities, while the other two dare the realist to walk on the wild side from time to time.   

The three sisters, Gypsy, Dreamer and Realist....walking hand in hand with me as  ...I Live.

Yeah Sherry, it's probably the weather - we all get a little antsy at this time of the year from having been couped up inside all winter (and it sure seems to have been a long winter this year, at least to me).

"another tattoo"? Gee lady, how many do you have already? :-)

Anyway, Gypsy Lady, here's a "real" "dreamy" song that I enjoy and think that you might also as you daydream about "shaking things up a little bit":

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 ...
