Day Three, 30 Day writing challenge

 
Here I am again, day three and trying to find a subject to write about...after looking for a few moments, I began to think and isn't that what blogging is, putting into words your thoughts, even if it might be random?  In my opinion, yes.
 
I spy a painting on the wall...There is a foot bridge over a stream, swans in the forefront of the stream and a small pathway on both sides.  How many of us have stood before a painting and wondered where does the stream flow from?  Where does the pathway go?  Everything is so pretty and green, sprinkled with bits of pastel colored flowers.  The scenery is so peaceful, the sound of the stream almost audible.
 
Sometimes I think what a magical gift it would be to be able to jump into painting, I suppose like Mary Poppins did in the movie, with Burt and the children, where somewhere in the distance is a fair, with a merry-go-round, dancing penguins, etc.  Not this painting though, this one is evoking the heartfelt sentiments.  The two swans swimming so close that when ones neck is turned and you look at it from the perfect angle, it looks like they are forming a heart.  Sappy, I know, but what can I say, I have a soft side.
 
The next picture I see is of the back of two little boys watching Pond hockey.  Another is of jazz instruments, with a piano keyboard that could double as a track for a rollercoaster.  That picture I kind of want to jump into and run up and down the keyboard.  It evokes fun.
 
Suffice it to say, I am at a loss for words tonight.  I'm grasping at straws for this particular entry, a wee on the weary side from lack of sleep, which doesn't surprise me, welcome to my life.  Insomnia is my master sometimes and I it's slave.  One day I will learn to turn my brain off, but it is constantly churning out ideas and thoughts and it won't stop thinking.  I guess there could be worse things in life.  Okay, I am rambling...
 
Until tomorrow...yeah, until tomorrow.

Sissy Jo....

Well, it goes without saying that the days leading up to Comic Con were anything but non-emotional.  Is that even a word?  Seriously, my mind lately. Sissy Jo, one of the three girls I call my soul sister, passed away on June 29th, her funeral was held two days before we left for Comic Con. Admittedly, this reminded me, as well, of mama being sick last year during Comic Con, so of course our 8th trip to the 'Con', was a little bluer than I think we had hoped, but we did manage to have a good time, because we know that is what Jo would have wanted.  As we all know you can't make the pain just disappear, or the sadness that comes with losing someone so important and special to your life.  As anyone could tell you, JoAnn was a force to be reckoned with, a little whirlwind of organization, love and smiles.  She loved many who were in her path and she taught us lessons of survival, never giving up and fighting the good fight. I me...

Day 8 of 30 days of gratitude.

Today I dedicate this blog to Sissy Jo.  Today would have been JoJobean's 47th birthday and she lived every moment the best that she could.  I am forever grateful that I spent her last night on earth with her.  It was like old times when we had a lot of Sissy sleep-over's, watching "ghosty" shows, chatting, being sisters.   That night she told me her dreams for me and what she was sure would be my reality for the future. What people didn't see was JoAnn's fight.  When it was posted on Facebook that she had passed away, so many of my own family and friend's commented that they didn't even know she was still sick.  In fact, she was on her way to do payroll when she collapsed, the afternoon she passed away.  She had set-up a makeshift office at home, because her dedication to the work and people she cared about, never stopped. JoAnn was re-diagnosed in December 2008.  She had been in remission for almost four years when breast cancer came ba...
