Nanowrimo 2012

Really having guilty feelings for not giving it a try this year. I really want to write but just what always eludes me. Even for this blog I am often at odds just what to share or say.

Might of noticed I have had many more posts on here than lately. In my small little way this has been my nano. Not going to be writing 50,000 words by any means of the imagination but at least a few words closer than not writing anything at all.

I have a story I wrote a few years ago but lost the direction of where to take it. This was my work of fiction that is over the 50k quota. It was good, but fizzled out on me. Another piece was more of an autobiography. That's a real piece of work. I have only ever shared that with one other person.

Guess I look for validation that it's ok to write. But the fear I contain inside my heart sure has a tight grip on me.

Well, here are a few more words. :-)

Interesting

Watch "Delta Rae - Dance In The Graveyards: (official video)" on YouTube

A friend shared this on Facebook, her style is usually heavier metallic music. Though this song is not that, but I like it. I think I might have to add it to my music library.

What do you think?

Journal - the living document

Was surfing around the Internet today and came across this saying. I just loved it so much figured I would share it here.

May your journal be a living, breathing document of your life.

My life and thoughts are random. A d I think that's showing up here often.

Can't explain - Ever says red

Watch "Ever Stays Red - Can't Explain" on YouTube
Take a break today and listen to the song. Really hear the words and take him to heart. It took me a long time to track the song down when I used to listen to it on the radio. This was a long before the option to use an app to find it was available.
Enjoy!

Muse madness

I just used Shazam to discover Madness by Muse. http://shz.am/t66264582

This is quite a groovy, tune.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper

He posted this picture on facebook. I thought I would share with you too.

This is Fun.

I just used Shazam to discover Some Nights by What Do I Stand For.

Alright I admit that pun was totally on purpose. I do enjoy a few of their songs so far.

Election

Let nothing disturb thee, let nothing dismay thee, all things pass, God never changes. Patience attains all that it strives for. He who has God finds he lacks nothing, God alone suffices.
Teresa of Avila

There is more I would like to say about the election results. But I suppose you don't want to hear what I have to say. My heart was deeply troubled last night and it was again this morning. But a good friend had posted the saying and it touched me deeply and so I share it with you.

November diabetes awareness month

American Diabetes Month® - American Diabetes Association

I wish I saw just as many gray ribbons this month as I saw of pink ribbons last month. But I have never seen one worn on someone.

Did you know diabetes had a ribbon?

Yup, we do and that's a gray one. For those who have lost their sight from this disease. But there is also a silver version. For hopes there will be a silver lining in our lives that comes by the way of a cure.

When I went to look for an image of our ribbon I could not find one. Instead it appears that gray now represents brain cancer as well. I know cancer is devastating. I am not here to belittle it. I just want you to know that diabetes is a killer, and it effects so many things. Just want to raise a little awareness.

I just used Shazam to discover I Will Wait by Mumford & Sons. http://shz.am/t65396007
