In Consideration...

There are many things that I have thought about, some random and most are in deep contemplation of events that either happened to me or where perpetrated by me. In pretty much all cases, they add up to regret lol. Some regrets are so deep that the scraping of a tattoo gun or the deafening tones of fast music, are the only things that can quell the images and feelings associated with these haunting memories of the past. For most of us...or so it appears to me, we can process and filter these things. Sorting and filing them into categories to which they belong with little or no consequence to our current living conditions. A "wordy" way to say ... we let the crap roll off our backs. The teasing in High school the hazing in College and the possible string of disappointing dates. Which may or may not lead to a disappointing marriage and potential hells spawn running about the place. You know, the kids who will put you in the cheapest nursing home possible upon your impending demise. Leaving you to ponder why in the hell you ever gave birth to them. Sounds like a bad movie lol or at the very least your neighbors down the street. Sigh... I know that this may seem random and somewhat sordid perhaps or depressing ...depending on which way your viewing this. To me I am doing nothing more than finding my way  so to speak. I have many thoughts and feelings swimming through my head, and as I age I am less and less afraid to share them.
        Without being conceited, what is in this brain is astounding or absurd. Again, your choice as to how you want to view this. What your over all mood is will paint the picture of  your day. The things you choose to eat, wear, watch, listen to, as well as what you "hear". Things we read and are told amazingly enough roll around and we interpret things differently than that of what actually is. Though my grammar may be atrocious... my thought patterns are anything but. I do have some sense of logic mixed with some whimsy and viola! Either way, I hold fast and true to what my friend Melita says... " someone will want to hear what you have to say". I do believe that. Someone will care, will feel the same or will be possibly pondering the same things that I am. I think its important for us to be supportive of each other. Try to help each other through this rough terrain that is our individual lives. being positive and sharing can help us or someone else. I believe we need mediums of Art, Music, Food/cooking, Crafting, yoga....whatever your passion is. We should share our experiences and help each other to move on in the lighted direction of love and peace.

Delaware...O'd to Delaware

So last week we went back to Delaware. AHHHHHH!!! a retreat of sorts and a relaxation from the day to day mundane. Oh and lets not forget the insane~! We have had quite the adventure since our relationship resumed. My other half, Bob and I are extremely happy and well suited to one another. We have so much fun even in the most basic tasks. We saved each other from ourselves and the vultures. We reside here in Va., for the moment! This was a temporary stop on our way to "OUR LIFE". A life which we hope to be building in Delaware...somewhere toward the beach, but off the beaten path of tourists. The completely rested feel we had from waking up somewhere ( familiar to me) and semi familiar to Bob, was sublime! We both loved being somewhere that is still somewhat obscure to the general public. Though I am blogging about Delaware...I hardly want to give away this fantastic secret destination! I came upon this realization having researched and gone on expeditions to other locations... North Carolina...which I am sure is beautiful and prosporous in some places. We just didnt feel "HOME" there. The areas we covered which were along route 17 and close to the ocean, reminded me so much of Delaware, I thought..." Why come all this way when we can go back to De?!?" Then going into N. Myrtle beach in SC...paying 10.5% on a Starbucks Latte nearly caused me to have a coronary !! I said to Bob then and there... "We are NOT moving here~!!"
One main reason would be 15.5% unemployment rate! and then this kind of  Sales tax! that is not a retirement situation. That is a disaster in our book! We want to enjoy our time...not work till we are so old that the typical Walmart greeter dude looks like someone who will out-live us!!  LOL  In De we can fish and shop @ the outlets and dine on fresh seafood or the best Italian food either of us has ever tasted ( IMO) Which is from La Fontana in Magnolia De! if you havent been there...you need to go! There is no better Cannolli around! Ok back to business lol  The man and I just want peace and tranquility! This can be easily achieved in Delaware. No sales tax! beaches! and all of the above! Delaware is also so close to most of the major cities on the Eastern Seaboard... Phili, Baltimore, Wash. D.C., and going North...we cannot forget NYC!! I am  a native NYer~!! grew up on Long Island and lived there for the better part of 29 years...give or take the odd move to Boston, Fla and Cali. within that time. Then the move to Delaware...which is my most rewarding and smartest move to date. I feel like I was led there and that I should lead my other half there. So that we can live in peace and harmony and ENJOY these years...however long we have together! None of us knows what one moment from the next will bring. One thing is for sure, We must truely live and enjoy the time we have, the resources we have and the people in our lives. Only then will we truely be happy and able to enjoy this brief time we all share together.

In the Beginning...

Hello all and Welcome to my page! I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful brisk weather we are having here in the Mid- Eastern United States?! I am most definitely basking in it.

 I have been contemplating this blog for quite some time now. Unsure I was ever truly going to produce it. I have been a victim my entire life of the fear of everything. This kept me from doing anything other than working and playing on the computer. Of course I have managed to have some sore of life, although not the one I originally intended for myself. It has been a journey. One of pain and growth, of joy and Love. I am living the life to which my universe or higher power intended. I would like to share some of the lovely people, places and things I have seen along the way. I hope that you will enjoy them and be inspired to share your journey as well :)
