I haven't been very diligent about keeping this blog up-dated. I usually think of something to say when away from the computer, by the time I get to it it's gone. So for now you are going to have to settle for whatever I manage to come up with off the cuff. I have since figured it is better to blog anything than nothing at all.

Last year I thought life couldn't be much worse. Floods, heavy snow, my mother's cancer diagnosis, and the murder of my neighbour. I was wrong. John is still dead, my mother still has cancer and the weather is worse than ever. I know 'that's life'. The trouble is its' MY life. I am seriously trying to remain philosophical and sane through it all. It doesn't help being alone pretty much most of the time. I like being alone, but sometimes it feels like I am in the twilight zone.
When someone calls I forget how to hold a conversation, which is one reason why I am writing now. I have to keep those brain cells alive, the neurons transmitting, and have at least a semblance of communication.
I know I am sounding like 'it's all about me'. That's the great thing about this blog. It is for once 'all about me'.

Now that I have gotten all that off my chest, I feel like I might be able to move on to something more interesting next time. After all these are very interesting times we are living in.
Who knows I might even write another poem. Or post one I have already written.

Happy Holidays

  1. You're right--something is better than nothing. And venting one's frustrations in a controlled way is good for the mental health. What's got you down is called "life." My is different in some of the particulars, but is of much the same quality, in many ways. Keep posting! You're not alone.

  2. Thank you for the support Rob.
    I detest being depressed. But it not good to keep it in.
