Bio: Come on in and make yourself comfy. Kick off your shoes. Coffee? Tea? Sit awhile and read… Express your thoughts. Any questions? Feel free to ask for I am a woman of a certain age and I do not fear my secrets. I welcome them for they have led me here, where I pour them out in written word. I'm also a Recovering Catholic, but I very much believe in a Higher Power. Those shoes you see in my banner, I own those shoes... Stuart Weitzman Fever in patent leather red! We used to get out alot more, me and my shoes. So I decided to add them to my blog because, hey, I'm not dead yet!!

I live by a river which is in a constant state of change, ever flowing, sometimes flooding. Today this river gave me strength and peace.

My belief that we "crossover" gives me hope.

I believe a better home awaits us,

And that peace will come to us all.

Beauty surrounds us, we only need be open to it.

I believe time heals all wounds.... well, most of them anyway.

Strength of character is key.

We are here for the living. Find your joy!!

GREAT images. I can tell spring has come to your home. We're still in a bit of snow and volcanic ash in Anchorage, so the green, peaceful images you posted are so welcome.

I read this and couldn't help imagining your words and pictures put to music. --rated--

I do like Spring, especially after the winter we had. New birth and all that...

Mr. Mustard, my words (not my exact words) have been put to music. Ever hear of Dan Fogelberg? I grew up with him, watching him play in local bands. He wrote a song called "The River." Well, the picture above, is that river.
