So Relieved!
I was just looking at the stats, and wondering what they were like. Amazingly it’s been about three months since I lost wrote about them and quite honestly, my heart is warmed by the fact that we have had over 1700 visitors to the site since it was started six months ago. Honestly, it was such a surprise!
Do you know what? I DO value each and every one of you. And besides the fact that poetry was my main love and I wished to share that with you. Having said that, I do understand that people just don’t realise the beauty and excitement involved in creating it. Personally, I didn’t either until I realised it was the best medium for me to express myself when I was 16 years old. It was practically a closed book to me, in spite of having looked at some during my school years.
I have so many wonderful things planned for next year, You literally have no idea. Fun, exciting and full of my heart. My expression from me to you. The love I bear for you all. And the joy of sharing my soul.
There are so many things that I want to share with you. And I hope you love the expressions in the new shop. As I said, some of them are from poems I have written. Can you tell me which ones they are? If you can, send me a facebook message or email me and you will be given a copy of my second edition of Our Brave New World for free when it comes out next year. Also, you could be part of my proofreading team! Not just for my poetry, but the prose also.
It is wonderful to think that Christmas is tomorrow. This year has been amazing and I am SO happy to look forward to next year. Looking back on this old year, I can tell you that sharing my heart and life with you all has been the best thing I have done.
Are you ready for tomorrow? Just remember that it doesn’t matter if you have forgotten something. Or if you have relatives you want to please, YOUR wellbeing is MORE important than all of it. What you have and are IS sufficient and you can make tomorrow the best day your OWN way.
Love and blessings to you all!When it comes around to Christmas, you don’t want problems or difficulties, or okay maybe minor ones that you could only get single cream and not double cream or that so and so hadn’t been able to buy mustard, etc. Or you don’t get precisely what you wanted,. But you certainly don’t want any difficult issues and you certainly DON’T want health issues!
However, that was not vouchsafed for us this year (again) but this time it wasn’t me having a health problem, but Granny. She had an angiogram and a stent put in and is now safely and happily back in her own home agin. But it DID upset our plans slightly for Christmas - not terribly, but she just wasn’t there for Boxing Day.
To be honest with you, I’m a bit tired of being poorly at Christmas. It’s just not something I enjoy or relish. And most Christmases I have been up in Scotland, I have either been IN for Christmas or have got poorly before or after. But this year so far seems to have been going well.
Yes, ok, I have needed a couple of naps, but I hadn’t realise just how stressed I was about Granny when I discovered she was poorly. I was in the accident and emergency centre getting something checked and SHE was in with a heart attack! I hadn’t known she was there, although she saw me briefly when her trolley was passing my chair. There’s nothing like seeing your father-in-law walking past you with his walker and saying hello! I told him to stay there, asked what room she was in and went back in with the walker - telling him to stay where he was. She was happy to see me although not feeling great at all.
When we heard that she was ok and was coming back home, I could feel my body relax and thought how worried I had been! I really didn’t know what would happen and was more worried than I thought.
But I LOVE all the posters Jamie has done and am trusting one of them will suit you. Please do have a look on my website and I have said that there are some which are in poems I have written. The first ten that message me with the answer, will have the joy and happiness of being able to read a copy of the second edition of my poetry book and help with proofreading and finding those nasty little errors before it goes to print, or even giving me ideas. You will have direct connection with me and life should be really exciting! Are you going to be one of the ten?
