The idea of being published appeals to me, but I'm not sure I have either the energy or the self-discipline it would take. <BR/><BR/>The thing I love about the blog is I can write or not, about whatever is on my mind at any given time, and put it out there on the Internet without having to worry about other people's objectives and timelines. It's very freeing, and I love getting almost-instant feedback from kind people such as yourself. Thank you for delurking to let me know you've been visiting here. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I checked out your site. You do some beautiful work, and I love your home page.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1164512204972250362006-11-25T21:36:00.000-06:002006-11-25T21:36:00.000-06:00I come to your (bookmarked) page from time to time...I come to your (bookmarked) page from time to time and always, always I am awed by your words.

I like that a lot. sometimes ...that is really cool. I like that a lot. sometimes hearing someone else say ..it gets better.. helps to drowned out the old messages in the back of your mind that doubt that life will go on. there are many people that would appreciate this poem.<BR/><BR/>"I looked around and understood<BR/>How much there is I want to do." That right there could bring tears to a girls eyes but for appreciation not sadness. There is a heck of a lot to still do I think you pointed that out very well in your poem.<BR/><BR/>smiles to you and yours,<BR/>AustinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1164232275810747022006-11-22T15:51:00.000-06:002006-11-22T15:51:00.000-06:00Creekhiker, I'm honored that you like the poem eno...Creekhiker, I'm honored that you like the poem enough to save it. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Sunflower, I'm feeling hopeful myself right now. I HOPE I can find nine more things to post between now and the end of the month. This "race" has been fun, but I'm ready to run at a slightly slower pace.<BR/><BR/>Fatty Grubs? A/K/A The Queen? ROFL! Kim said, "Is Aunt J. gonna have a different name every time she posts?" Try 'em all on, Sis, until you find one you like. I laughed out loud at "Fatty Grubbs"; haven't heard that one since you were about four.<BR/><BR/>I hope y'all have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow.
