Welcome to me being me and the hodgepodge of topics that make me who I am.

I brought home a chair

2014/05/20 Gayle 2

It is with regret that I inform you that after 17 years in exile my desk chair has come home.               As you can see the chair is broken which is how it ended up in exile. I took it home, to my parent’s house – which I still considered home in 1997, for my father to repair. It was an unusual trip home for me. I’d just visited the weekend before, for Mother’s Day. But I took a day off on Monday May 19th and spent a long weekend at my folks. I had ever so slightly kissed the rear-end of another vehicle in the weeks before and had acquired a new bumper for my truck.  That was The rest of the story

I am from Red Dirt

Last evening I was introduced to a poem – “Where I’m From” by George Ella Lyon. We were offered a template and encouraged to write and share our own version. I wrote a few things last night but the thoughts have lingered on into today. So, I took some time to rewrite – to add – to polish – to reminisce. It’s funny how emotional it feels…how personal. I added pictures, because they made me smile…because they also represent where I am from. Last night I so appreciated how well I felt I got to know those who shared. It gave a new appreciation for people and their past. For what makes them the unique person they are today. I hope this affords you an opportunity The rest of the story

50k at 50

In less than 2 weeks I am going to do something I never thought I’d do…..turn 50! If you’ve already been there and done that….then you know! If you haven’t yet been there and done that….then YOU know! 50 IS OLD!!!!!!! I wanted to walk a marathon to commemorate my 50th birthday. But by the time I got my act together the Disney marathon was full. So, I decided to do my own self supported marathon….but, well to be honest never got all that excited about spending my entire birthday walking in potentially cold weather!

30 DAYS OF THANKFUL – DAY THIRTEEN: Good Books

2012/11/13 Gayle 0

There is nothing better than a good book! And today I am thankful for good books. There really is nothing better than a cozy seat, interesting characters  and a well written story which draws you into the world of a book. Beyond being thankful for the books I am thankful for the ability to read. Sadly not everyone in our great society has the ability to read. I am also thankful that I can choose to read most anything I wish….censorship is alive and well in many places of the world. And lastly, I am thankful for the public library where I can find many book free of charge. Thanks for reading 🙂
