A New Beginning...

I woke up this morning to a brand new day! I love doing that 'cause now I know that I've got something to work with. Yesterday is in the 'history' books, thank God. What can I say other than I'm human? I misconscrewed things up a couple of times but I'm not going to sit on my 'but' and worry about it. I grew a little and learned a few things. That's the way my life works. Every day I bounce back 'cause I have rubber 'buts'.

I see every day as a 'new beginning in the rest of my life'. One day older and one day a teeny bit wiser...mebbe. But I'm living today, doing the best that I can and when the day is done...it's done. Kaput. I've started looking at things a little differently and appreciating the things that I have under my nose. I have a roof over my head, a chair to sit in while I'm doing what I love to do and a computer to do it on. I have a window to look out of while the sun shines in, or watch the clouds rolling by, or to see the rain coming down, or watch the snow piling up around my 'arse'. Hey, c'mon. I had to throw that in otherwise I wouldn't be 'poetic me'. I write it as I think it.

I don't know what today will bring. 'Cause it ain't happened yet. But whatever it is I'll stop taking things for granted that I always did before. I'm amazed at the little things in life that make my life easier...that I took for granted. Or the people I love who are there for me to love. I didn't always look at it that way, but I think...what would my life be like without them? And I love and appreciate them more. That's not to say I have to 'like' everything they do...but LOVE is another thing.

Today is a gift...and I only have 'today' to enjoy it...or work through it...or experience it. Tomorrow I'll have another 24 hour period. Another gift. And the gifts keep coming...every 24 hrs at a time. Time to love and appreciate what is under my nose. What tomorrow brings is something I'll write about when I get there for it's another page that's still 'unwritten'. If I ramble on it's because I'm a Nash. Rambler that is. Tomorrow will be another new beginning so I'll appreciate me and everything around me...just for today.

In the meantime I found something that I like. It's romantic and insightful and makes me want to sing...after I have a few singing lessons.

It only happens in the movies....???

I've found out (through a source I won't divulge...'cause I forgot who it was), that I could watch TV and movies for free on Hulu.  Now, with the price being with my 'range of affordabilty', I decided to check it out.  At first I went through the 'learning stage'.  I had to, like most other sites I come across, learn to navigate.  Since boating is not one of my skills, it was NOT smooth sailing at first. I found out, that without a TV service I could keep up with my favorite 'soap operas'.  And that's what I started doing.  But curiosity got the best of me.  One day I accidentally clicked on 'Korean drama' and a whole new world opened up to me.  Another country is into 'soaps' too!  Did I surrender to my curiosity?  Do bears do 'do do' in the woods?   But since I don't speak the language, I read the dialogue (I love to read and I do it fast) in order to know what's going on.  Through these 'adventures' I

What's a...serious side?

Once in awhile, I stop trying to develop my own 'character' (which is like trying to stop a flood with my bare hands), and work on developing 'fictional characters'. So I go to the my Mind Gym for a workout...it's fun there and a great way to exercise. Mental gymnastics? Dumbells included? Gosh, I'd be right at home. Anyhoo, I took a writing class awhile back (I can see 'disbelief' written all over your face), and worked with fantasy characters like: Mortimer P Snodgrass, the fly on the wall, etc. I won't elaborate 'cause Sylvia says once in awhile I can be a little 'over the top'. One day, I was sitting thinking (which I find is relaxing) and the idea struck me...."Why don't you try writing something 'different, dummy." Trust me...my imagination and me had a 'discussion' about that one later. I don't like being struck. I wrote this. Why am I posting it? Dunno. Why not? It goes like this... Lost

My roller skating sweater...

     Now I'm at a crossroads.  Should I toss my team sweater... or get out the sewing basket and stitch up the seam and sew a few buttons on?   Most guys would toss it 'cause the ones I know don't have the time to bother or the skill necessary to accomplish that 'feat'.  And girls probably would be easier than guys (I'm just guessing at that one) to vote for the garbage can if they knew how long I had it.  1979?  34 years?       But when it's washed, my cardigan looks like new.  I've worn it every year I had it and it's been a 'good friend' to me when I've been cold...which is part of my nature.  Brrrrrrrr.  Originally, the dark blue sweater had my name stitched on the front and a patch announcing 'King's Skate Country' on the back.  All the members of the roller skating team had one for the occasions we had to separate the sheep from the group that weren't part of the team.  Did I just refer to myself as a...sheep?  Oh
