Posting Daily??
I am going to try posting daily. If someone does manage to read this, please let me know, otherwise I have no idea if anyone is reading what I say or if I am just talking to myself. There is a lot going on in the life of my family. We are moving....just not exactly sure where yet. Lots of details to work out, but hopefully it will be done before the kids start school in the fall. Goodnight everyone.
Lyrics to the song "Safe" by Westlife
Safe by Westlife
Hard to find a way to get through
It’s a tragedy
Pulling at me like the stars do
You’re like gravity
Even if the wind blows
It makes it hard to believe
Chorus:
How you gonna love
How you gonna feel
How you gonna live your life
Like the dream you have is real
And if you’ve lost your way
I will keep you safe
Well open up all the world inside
So you come alive tonight
I will keep you safe
Does it even matter to you
To see what I can see
I’m crawling on the floor to reach you
I’m a wreck you see
When you’re far from home now
Makes it hard to believe
Chorus
We all fall down
We all feel doubt
There's rainy days and summer highs
The more we break the more we feel alive
How you gonna love
How you gonna feel
How you gonna live your life
Like the dream you have is real
Chorus
I will keep you safe
I will keep you safe
Hard to find a way to get through
It’s a tragedy
Pulling at me like the stars do
You’re like gravity
Even if the wind blows
It makes it hard to believe
Chorus:
How you gonna love
How you gonna feel
How you gonna live your life
Like the dream you have is real
And if you’ve lost your way
I will keep you safe
Well open up all the world inside
So you come alive tonight
I will keep you safe
Does it even matter to you
To see what I can see
I’m crawling on the floor to reach you
I’m a wreck you see
When you’re far from home now
Makes it hard to believe
Chorus
We all fall down
We all feel doubt
There's rainy days and summer highs
The more we break the more we feel alive
How you gonna love
How you gonna feel
How you gonna live your life
Like the dream you have is real
Chorus
I will keep you safe
I will keep you safe
Wow...it has been awhile since I posted
I just logged in for the first time in a very long time. I can't believe it has been over a year since my last post.....Like anyone ever reads this anyway, though.....Here's what I have been up to lately.
I have been pretty much just working lately, though I have noticed that I have had the urge to write more during the past few months. After work one day I sat in my car and wrote a 3-4 page letter to my husband who was due to go back to his job in North Dakota the next day....I snuck the letter into his bag of clean laundry so he would find it once he got back to where he works...I figured it might brighten his day.
I used to write more often than I do now. Hard to find the time, motivation, and the inspiration required to even want to write these days. Days are filled with the same old routine of sleep, work, fix supper, make sure the kids have done their homework, etc., etc....and then the day repeats itself. And somewhere in there I have to make time for Girl Scouts, though I keep pushing it to the back burner day after day.
Lately, though, the idea of writing, and the inspiration to write something has been creeping into my mind more and more. It started over a month or so ago when I was listening to a dj on a local radio station. He was talking about finding out whether or not a person is in their ideal career. You add up the numbers of their birthdate and come up with, I think he called it a "master number". There were lists of the best career choices for people with each number. I, of course,had to figure out what mine was and waited for him to say what the ideal career was for my number. I eventually just called up the radio station and asked him. Apparently one of my ideal careers is as a writer....nudge nudge.
Considering that I majored in English and had an emphasis in creative writing, this shouldn't be a stretch for me....yet, I haven't pushed myself to write more and find that "just right" idea that will just blossom into some beautiful story. I have had moments of inspiration, but they sometimes strike at bad times....like when I am driving a car. I try to repeat the idea in my head over and over again hoping that it will stick around in my head long enough for me to get somewhere to write it down....which it doesnt...and all I end up with is the "I had the idea and it was good, but now I have to find it again...or come up with a better idea." I seriously have to carry one of those little recorders with me and when an idea strikes me, I just speak it into the recorder, even though I don't like hearing my recorded voice.
All that I am left with from my inspirational car moment is the vague idea of describing places that I lived as a kid, the smells, the sounds, but nothing concrete that would make sense on paper....so frustrating.
What to write about?? I am reading a book filled with inspirational quotations. Maybe I will post some of those on here....Maybe I will post about moments that was inspired, which actually was an idea given in that book I am reading....Maybe I will post lyrics to songs that I have found to be inspiring at certain points in my life. ....Maybe I will write some poems of my own.....a lot of maybes here, I realize. All it takes is me really thinking about one or more of these ideas and it could turn into...something. At least that is what I am hoping for. I believe that there has to be inspiration for writing to really happen for me.
So now??? Back here to blogging I am....geez, now I am turning into Yoda...more to come at some point, but for now I should read a little more of that book and get some sleep before tomorrow begins.
