I think it would be easier/faster, more cohesive, and ultimately, more satisfying. I have no doubt that you have the "new" words in you, and that what you want to say, what you want this book to "be about" will come through.Carrie Wilson Linkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586157395539583862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-80187858453427877292016-05-17T09:08:33.940-07:002016-05-17T09:08:33.940-07:00I love that mirrored room, but I would want to rea...I love that mirrored room, but I would want to really hang out in there, I think. It might make me crazy to have to leave so quickly. <br /><br />As for the book organization, I've been doing the same thing - pulling out posts from the last ten years to try and add things. I can't say I feel like it's been hugely successful, but I have been able to search on key words and find posts I knew I wrote years ago. We can brainstorm this weekend, for sure. <br /><br />Glad Sophie is recovering nicely.

Love it. That and Someday Soon. Yes, I was one of THOSE folk singers.<br /><br />People are slow to come to understanding just how offensive the R word is. It will take time. All we can do is gently remind them that many, many take offense. I saw a fb post today where a women used the term "bitches" to describe her friends and, of course, there was push back. Then everyone else rolled their fb eyes. So, there's another one.<br /><br />Congratulations on your 4004th post! You know, if you want to judge your 'best' my how many comments it generated, I think you can sort for that. <br /><br />Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052375488090209961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-33683862937106389052016-05-15T14:40:56.422-07:002016-05-15T14:40:56.422-07:00I was listening to the song and then ended up on Y...I was listening to the song and then ended up on You Tube for over an hour.

I work on my own as much as I can and fail miserably sometimes. I love as intensely, too, and am loved in return. That never seems to fail.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-74321754733903687042016-05-15T08:42:39.673-07:002016-05-15T08:42:39.673-07:00You express your anger, sometimes vehemently, at o...You express your anger, sometimes vehemently, at others.

I've been so busy this past month I haven't had much time in the river valley. Last night the big guy and I walked over to the pond and watched the geese and ducks. I do love the geese. The goslings are hatched and one family stole some of the goslings from the other family because they have two different sizes of goslings. Apparently it happens.<br /><br />And the lights, they remind me of a night on the Big Island of Hawaii. We stayed on a plantation and when we went out at night I was awed. I had never seen so many stars. The sky looked like a blanket of stars stretching from one horizon to the other. It was so beautiful.My life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-27594560173574899492016-05-15T04:36:50.483-07:002016-05-15T04:36:50.483-07:00I'm impressed that you've hit 4,000 posts,...I'm impressed that you've hit 4,000 posts, but looking at your archive I can see you were hitting two a day (roughly) for a couple of years. Way to go! I can't imagine someone would argue for using the word "retarded." It's just a hurtful word for some people, and that alone is enough reason not to use it, it seems to me. I love the look of that infinity room, but 45 seconds hardly seems like enough time to experience it!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-65413809780030953702016-05-15T02:27:22.562-07:002016-05-15T02:27:22.562-07:00Elizabeth, once again you amaze and you stun and y...Elizabeth, once again you amaze and you stun and you give me inspiration.
