Why I Write
I write what I feel
and I feel what I write,
inspired by sound
inspired by sight.
I think in the day
and do my dreamin’ at night.
Sometimes they’re dark
and sometimes they’re light.
Sometimes they are tearful
sometimes they are bright,
and once in a while
I write, just for spite.

I enjoy every post,
Not sure which the most,
You always make me smile
And think for awhile
of how blessed we truly are
to find friends from afar
who read what we write
and say “it’s alright!”
Oh, that was so sweet..I see a new facet to “It’s Just Life”…OMG…As I was typing It’s just Life…It came out It’s Just LICE…Yarr, harr, harr.. me hopes not. Freudian to be sure. Anyway, as I was saying, a new facet may have been born today..Rhymes of the Times by Beth Ann. But until then,
My heart is so swelling with thanks
so much, it’s in need of those Spanx
But I can’t hold it back,
’cause, this I know for a fact,
your NUMBER ONE in my ranks.
OH NO—look what I have started with all this blarney!
And this morning my head was itching so I was all paranoid that the lice had attacked….
My sentiments exactly.
Especially the “spite” part right? lol

Thank you Sal. I’m always surprised at what people say that they like, of course most people are polite and don’t tell me what they don’t..Though sometimes I wish they would.
