Going Back In Time

Where shall I start? Perhaps the first photo that hubby’s children saw of me announcing our recent marriage would be a great place.

Imagine their surprise when they actually met me…

Let’s add our imaginary dog Pooky:

Add a pinch of honeymoon in Afghanistan to the point where you have to take friends there to show them you really did not go…

Stir in Magazine Covers that you were never really on:

Multiply by a ton of videos that made no sense:

So that is married life…

Is it funny?
That is for my readers to decide.

Daily Prompt: Dear Telephone Solicitor

A word of advice to any poor soul who works as a telephone solicitor.
Speaking English is a plus.
Non English is tolerable if I can understand what you are trying to say.

http://www.easychoice.com/
tried to call three times today.
The background noise from other solicitors doing the same thing from other telephones was so bad that I could not hear the broken English of the person on the phone trying to reach me. I realize that they are trying to make a living. So am I. I do not call everyone to try and make a sale. My hubby gets up early in the morning and starts to advertise all over in free spots. We do well with our businesses without annoying people with telephone calls.

I am suggesting this book to you so go to
http://www.amazon.com
and take a coffee break or a lunch break and read it.

You might get some creative ideas on how to find a new way of making money without annoying people with caller id.

Then a local restaurant mysteriously found our business card in their fishbowl…two free tickets to dinner…too bad I recognized the voice as they are trying to sell a water system…

Have had two different businesses wanting to know if I want to place an order this month…

Hello world… hubby has to have surgery next month…we can’t buy anything till we know what our co-pay will be.

There now I feel better.

Guess my tag today is not a nice one.

Daily Prompt: I Took A Leap Of Faith

Daily Prompt: Might As Well Jump

by michelle w. on June 18, 2013

What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? What would have to happen to make you comfortable taking it?

Photographers, artists, poets: show us JUMP.

It will be four years in September since I took that Jump in life. I was told it would not last. I was told I would grow bored and move on. I was told I was a nomad and I could not handle settling down to one spot for too long. Perhaps that was my flame of incentive to make the second half of my life my own and make it work against all odds.

I bought a used pick up truck which I had some work done on and began to pack. It was not easy leaving all that had become familiar. It was not my life I was living though. I was living a life that was given to me by others.

I have been blessed in life. I have two beautiful daughters who both have great men in their lives. They both have beautiful children and have happy lives. I realize that it is painful that I am not a part of their lives. I miss them very much every day.

My body was giving me warning signs that it was time to slow down life. I have never cared for city living. It is a super fast paced way of life where at times you forget to breathe in between. Perhaps that is why people who live in the city feel the need to “get away” for their vacations. Now I live in a place where I do not feel the need for a vacation to get away. Every day feels like another day that I am on vacation. Life is relaxed and at a slow pace here. We take each day as it is thrown at us for what it is worth and enjoy it. We take time to smell the coffee in the morning as it is brewing. We have our windows slightly open during the rain storm to enjoy the essence of ozone. We enjoy the magnolia tree outside in the back yard with it’s majestic stature.

I had prayed about moving to Tennessee for many a night. I had wondered how it would even be possible. I had placed it all in God’s hands to find a way if it was his will. As I sat in a little local pizzaria with a friend a pick up pulled up with a forsale sign on it. The price was right. I sent pictures to Eman and he said yes to get it. He mailed me the plates from Tennessee and the stickers that I needed and I got it inspected. I stored it in my friend’s drive way with a tarp to cover the back. So my new adventure began…

My front plate of truck

Daily Prompt: Dear John Letter

Daily Prompt: Shape Up or Ship Out

by michelle w. on June 17, 2013

Write a letter to the personality trait you like least, convincing it to shape up or ship out.
Be as threatening, theatrical, or thoroughly charming as is necessary to get the job done.

Photographers, artists, poets: show us UGLY.

Dear Introverted Self:

Since your arrival in Tennessee almost four years ago, it has come to the worlds attention that you have become a home body.
We do agree that your 7 1/2 acres is a beautiful place to live.
The magnolia tree in the back is just now starting to bloom with the magnificent blossoms that smell so wonderful.

The humming birds are just returning so the feeders must be prepared for their return.
The herb flower pots are ready to start to be planted. The front of the store will soon look like a small green house.
The apple trees have just bean to bloom and their fragrance can be smelled across the yard the entire summer.

We understand that it is difficult to drive with the sciatic nerve condition in your left leg trying to use the clutch.
A slight complication of the two fractured fingers on the left hand does give you a legitimate argument of safety while driving.

You win for now. There will come a time when this dear john letter will be sent again.
There is an entire side of the city that you have never seen.
If something were to happen to your hubby I shiver to think what would happen if you could not purchase online, on base or at Walmart or Kroger.
You have a break till you heal. Oh and another break till hubby’s surgery is over.
Then it is time to explore. There is life after Dollar General. Just because that is so close does not mean that you can’t find some adventure in life.
Till then, here are what other Daily Prompt Writers had to say:

Respectfully Submitted,

Self Conscious

Thank you for reading. What is your characteristic that needs a talking to?
Do you need a change in your life?
Would love to hear.

Daily Prompt: Hello Book It Has Been A While

Daily Prompt: Bookworm

by michelle w. on June 16, 2013

Tell us about the last book you read (Why did you choose it? Would you recommend it?).

To go further, write a post based on its subject matter.

Photographers, artists, poets: show us WORDS.

I have had two books sitting on my shelf that I have been reading. For some reason, reading does not come as easy to me now that I am older as it did in my youth.

Not counting my Kindle subscription for
http://www.magazines.com/crochet-today

Crochet Today! Magazine

I read that every month when it comes out as I have students who need new patterns. I also did not include all my cookbooks as they are reference books.

http://www.amazon.com/Eat-Pray-Love-Everything-Indonesia

http://www.amazon.com/Look-Me-Eye-Life-Aspergers

The most intriguiging book that I actually did audio was debated when I was in college and I was in the Literary Guild. I was on the panel and due to the book being auditory I picked up a lot that the basic reader on the panel did not.

Product Details

http://www.amazon.com/Horse-Whisperer-Nicholas-Evans

The audio version was more indepth and you could feel what the author was getting across by the tones of the voices. I do not kiss and tell so you are on your own to find out details. I am not the person who sits in the room and tells you the ending of the movie before it is over.

My next purchase is to get the two hard cover books on audio. I seem to actually get through books much better that way. Since my kindle died due to being plugged into the wrong outlet, I have to decide what new one I want to get. That will start me on my way to my audio adventure.

Here are what other Daily Prompt Writer’s had to say on this Father’s Day (Happy Fathers Day to even the single moms).

What is your book that you are currently reading? Do you have one you are struggling through? Let me hear about it.

Happy Reading

Faith When We Need It Most

It was an odd Daily Prompt today about Faith. I simply gave a poem for my statement.
To me that said more than I ever could about my position in life right now.

My hubby has an inguinal hernia that the Dr. is afraid is going to rupture.
His consult for surgery is not until July 25th.
I have two fingers that have been fractured on my left hand, which makes it difficult to function.
I am in the process of going through testing myself for a problem.

Last night, my hubby experienced a sudden drop in blood pressure and found himself on the floor.
I patched up his head with antibiotic cream and lots of pressure to stop the bleeding.
With an ice pack he layed back down.

God’s will we will carry on and get through it all.
Through lots of prayer and faith, I know that it will work itself out.

Patience is something that I have had a strong lesson in over the years.
Perhaps at times, I have a little too much patience.
I know that with everything happening in the world today, life could be a lot worse.

I think of the poor families in Colorado who are homeless due to a fire.
Some have had to evacuate their homes, not knowing if they will have a home to go back to.

As I sit here in the comfort of my home, I feel blessed.
My prayers to those families and others going through hard times.

Keep the faith and all things will work out in the end. :)

Daily Prompt: A Test Of Faith

Daily Prompt: In Good Faith

by michelle w. on June 14, 2013

Describe a memory or encounter in which you considered your faith, religion, spirituality — or lack of — for the first time.

Photographers, artists, poets: show us FAITH.

Having faith in God is having your inner light show. The Daily Prompt question is to tell when it began or if it has ever faded. That simply brings to mind a poem.
