I'm Coming Home


I'm Coming Home, to A Nice Place In The Sun, which I didn't name after the movie.  I was thinking of a soft place to fall, or a special place to be.  Anyway, it's a metaphor for your favorite place to be in the world or wish to become, it's for you to decide.        

I forgot about the movie when I wrote the title, and at least my title is, "A Nice" place in the sun.  

In any event, this is the second post I've published in a long time.  I have a lot of great memories connected to this little Blogspot blog. Personal memories as well as the fabulous people who were part of my blogging community. 

I have missed all of my readers, and I apologize for abandoning you. I am ill and I guess I didn't want to admit that I couldn't post every day.  I wish I had written something because I do not want to quit blogging. 

I do tired easily, but I am writing my first novel for adults which a dear friend and fellow blogger inspired me to write. Sandee from Comedy Plus (comedy-plus.com) read a post of mine and left a comment suggesting I write another post on the subject. 

When I thought about writing another post, I realized that Sandee struck a chord and that I should consider writing a manuscript related to the subject of my post, and then work on getting it traditionally published.  

And, boy, I did not realize how long it takes to write a book, and I have studied the American language for a long time. 

Anyway, I thought about how I managed to post on Facebook every now and then, so I figured I could start writing on my blog again. I felt like I had to write on my blog every day, whereas it didn't matter when I posted on Facebook.  

So, I have decided to begin posting one post a week, then slowly build up to more posts. The last post I recently posted is entitled, "Ghosts Of Christmas Past," which is in my book. I posted it on Facebook, and I wanted Sandee to see it, but she missed it.  

I am going to post "Tuesday's Question," every Tuesday like I used to do and everything I post on Facebook will be posted on here as well. However, Facebook will not get everything I post on here. 

I hope some of you will remember me, and realize I really do care about my readers. In fact, that is why I started Tuesday's Question to get to know my readers and for them to get to know me, plus it's fun.     

 So, I will post Tuesday's Question this coming Tuesday, the 23rd of April. I hope someone shows up. 

Thanks for reading-

Sandee, you are simply the best! I miss blogging so much, and one of the reasons is because of the people I met, like you. I like Facebook, but it is not as warm and authentic as belonging to a blogging community.

I guess they're different, but we were here first, weren't we? I sent you an e-mail about the post below, "Ghosts Of Christmas Past," since it is a piece of the book you inspired.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and comment, especially with all you have going on.

I will be thinking of you and Zane, and you will be in my prayers.

Love and "Hugs"

Angels On Earth

Lost inside a state of mental and physical exhaustion, I prayed to meet an angel on earth, then, I felt the pillow of a horses mouth gently sweep grass from the palm of my hand. – Ann Clemmons

Motherhood is an art impossible to explain, one which requires a vast sea of love, devotion, compassion, and understanding, unmatched by any affection we will ever know again.- Ann Clemmons

Words-

Words are the core of our souls, without written, vocal or lyrical expression we lose sight of one another or worse, ourselves. Words bring forth the essence of the human spirit; so express yourself without abandon.

Favorite Phrase

I remember I used to half believe and wholly play with fairies when I was a child. What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit-world of childhood, tempered and balanced by knowledge and common-sense...

Beatrix Potter’s Journal, 17 November 1896, from the National Trust collection.

The Storyteller, by Dawn Drover

Alone in her world
of make believe
weaving her stories
of magic and light

She brings joy
to the eyes
of innocent minds
less jaded and free

For only they know
what's in her heart
holding the secrets
she guards so well

Life's hidden mysteries
belong to those
whose wisdom and truth
shine on in imagination

Favorite quotes-

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”'


F. Scott Fitzgerald. (Lines from The Great Gatsby)
"A Southerner Talks Music"

Mark Twain

"A book must be the ax for the frozen sea inside us."

Franz Kafka

An author values a compliment even when it comes from a source of doubtful competency.

- Mark Twain in Eruption

"I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself"
