To me, living in the quiet country and living on (or very near) the water is heaven. I'm a Pisces...the fish. I find water soothing. I beleive there is nothing more beautiful than "home"........surrounded by the ones you love. I like to browse book and thrift stores and adore coffee shops, I love music, most genres, according to my mood . like to hang with old friends, and make new. I've not had the freedom to do so in the recent past, and I lost touch with so many....but things are changing. My life has taken a 180 turn over the past year or so....and I'm happy. Finally. It's been a long time since I could honestly say that. I've never 'met' anyone whom I didn't give 'the benefit of doubt' to first, but just betray me once..........and it will take eons for me to trust you again, if ever I do. I've been hurt far too many times to enter into anything casually....so I do so now with caution and maybe a bit too much reservation. But I'm the product of my experiences. I love listening to my children's laughter, and even on the worst days, that sound will never fail to melt the sadness away. I like to lie in the grass and watch the clouds, waves on the water and I absolutely love thunderstorms. The smell of bread baking and coffee brewing make me feel at home no matter where I am. And animals. I love all kinds of furry creatures.......especially dogs. "Real" dogs please ~over their squeaky toy counterparts........but little dogs can be loveable too. Just a bit nippy for me. I prefer a mellow, laid back, rub-my-belly lab/retriever type dog (much like my man, hahaha). I like to read and write poems. Been writing since junior high. Often times it's just random thoughts or emotions I put to paper. I do so with much more success when they come as whims rather than having to write when asked to do so. I like to keep pen and paper nearby so I can jot things down when I think of them.......if I don't, they're lost forever.....and maybe sometimes that is not such a bad thing, hahaha. It's exciting to start writing poem, not having any plans, but to just let it ....become. Maybe not the way to write but, my way. I think maybe it helps me to grow. But its definately a form of release for me. Now I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say.......you still reading this tripe? Pffffth. Well, thanks for caring enough to read all this. Hope I didn't bore you too much!
