Working at theme park on Memorial Day weekend is hectic and a little more than insane. Everyone wants to know if we are busy, how much tickets cost and why don't we have better discounts. I field the calls as best I can and as politely as possible. The only time I feel bad about …

Raindrops Thoughts
I do not give up, but sometimes I need to give in to let my fears and the tears they generate out. I am only one person who does the best she can and gets up everyday and tries to do it a little better than she did before. I want a life with more sunshine …
Turkey Day Thanks…
My Orlando family is small and so even with the day off, I am at home writing for a couple of hours before I head off to dinner. My contribution to dinner is some homemade cranberry sauce. I have never attempted it before, but the recipe was simple enough. It sits in the frig awaiting …
Day Three ~ Gratitude Check
I am grateful for being able to work. Pure and simple. I know being employed is a blessing and I am grateful. I am not rich, but the jobs I hold help me to pay bills and afford a small rental house. Some months paying those bills is easier than others, but it is getting …

Tired, But Still in the Game.
I am tired. Tired to the bone with all the words that are thrown against me like I'm the wall in a racquetball court and its my job to take it. My life my destiny to take society's beatings and be fine with it. The mental wear and tear of this life is too much at times and I …
No Poem Today
I do not have a clever twist of phrase.. all I have is my gratitude that there have always been people in my life that haven't let me give up, even when I wanted, too. Thank you.
Plans Are Meant to Change…
This weekend, I was tremendously excited because I had arranged to see one of my favorite people on this earth. Friday, as the title suggests, plans changed. Saturday wasn't meant to be. Which as it turns out was a blessing because I was sick all day. Not horribly so, just enough to make the day …
