Life is not orderly

These are lines that stuck out to me when reading a book called Wild Mind, Living the writers life. By, Natalie Goldberg.

Life is not orderly, no matter how we try 2 make life so. Right in the middle of it we die, lose a leg, fall in love or drop a jar of apple sauce. (Don't I know it to be true)

What brings you back to a natural state of mind? The wildness of your mind where there is no refined rows of gladiolas. The mind is raw, full of energy, alive & hungry. It does not think in the way we were brought up to think-well mannered, congenial. (Think about ur mind, is it wild? The thing that brings me back to a natural state of mind always seems to be music or writing out my feelings.)

Being a writer is a whole way of life, a way of seeing, thinking, being. It's the passing on of a lineage. Writers hand on what they know. (We definitely hand on what we know to our readers & yes writing is something a writer just does.)

When you take care of something it lives a long time. (Agree or disagree?)

We don't see how a writer organizes her day or dreams up writing ideas. (Yes even being the writer sometimes ideas come out of nowhere!)

A Recovery Love Story

Thank you Cliff for allowing me to write the love story of you & your Beautiful wife! I found this just tear jerking ❤️ There was a time in my life when my one true love was wine and spirits. I mean I knew drinking wasn't good for me & I played around with the thought of stopping every once in a while, but never enough for anything to stick. I wasn't the AA type of guy, I didn't feel the need to express my problems with a group of people. I didn't think that would be my route to recovery if I ever decided to stop. What I didn't know was that I was right. One day I was driving, on my way to take myself fishing. I had a 12 pack of Bud Light in my ice chest in the trunk. As I was driving I couldn't wait to pop a can open & feel that cold refreshing taste. As I drove I passed a church tent revival. I slowed down for no particular reason & laughed to myself. I guess I caught them in a moment. Watching them as they were run...

We're not in LA N-E-More XII

My phone is fixed! It was broke for about two weeks, I kinda broke it myself out of frustration & it was right before Christmas. So that meant no Christmas, New years or any Holiday pics. I was a little sad at first that I couldn't post on social media but after a while I found peace in enjoying activities & not worrying about pictures or footage. I visited my son for Christmas in Upstate NY for two days, Then I went to visit my God mom for a couple days dropped her off some gifts. I went to visit my God children & my God granddaughter that was fun. My God grand daughter is two years old and my God daughter & God son asked her if she wanted to sing head shoulders, knees & toes. She said no but they decided to sing it anyway to see if she would get into it. She didn't & after they finished the song all enthusiastically this little girl with her little baby voice said " Nobody asked for all that!" My husband & I busted out laughing ...
