Time flies, tis true! Days mix into nights and before one realizes, months have passed. Such is the case here. Totally unbelievable that so much time has elapsed since last blog. Apologies to all.
Work and school still consume each minute. Attempts of contact with friends made fleetingly. Best that can be done and an overal extended dose of love sent to you all!!!!!!
Peace,
Nita
Ok, for those of you who know me personally, the last year healthwise hasn't been the best. Those of you who don't know me personally, I worked for a company for 8 years as a supervisor for mentally challenged individuals. Loved the job and company...they were my extended family. Unfortunately, excessive (over 80 hrs. weekly and being on call) got to me physically. Prior to that job, I took full-time care of a parent until they passed for 7 years while raising my son. (believe it or not, I'm still young (ish), ok, they say 40 is the new 30...)
So when my body decided to give me time off, I wasn't ready for it; yet had no choice (talk about feeling a quick one way trip to hell). Now things, after this long year, have improved and I have started to look at re-entering my chosen field in some aspect. My heart was still with the company that treated me so well, ok the hours were extreme, but the higher ups really did treat me well.
Anyway, I left a message about my improved conditions..and...THEY WANT ME BACK! I have a few hurdles to somehow jump and looks like I'll be back with the WR family again and assisting those who need some help in society.
Most likely I'll be just a worker bee, but that's ok for now....I'll be back in the supervisory saddle in no time. Gives me time just to follow a normal schedule, get some things resorted that I lost and feel human again.
More positive poems will be posted soon.
Peace and love to you all,
Nita
The Beach
Sandy shores
Gleeful laughter
Water laps feet
Sunkissed skin
Happiness
Old Friends
Reunion Time
Punch bowl filled
Rapid chatter
Girlish laughter
Ok, was going to do the friend blogs and started making a list...too Damn many and I meet more everyday.
So not to leave anyone out or give the impression of sending more love to some than others, I deleted prior posts and decided to do a summerization because I love you all!
You're terrific, fantastic and add a little more to my life everyday!
Have to give a special shout out to ALL those from DTG and to LEE who is the head Gubette and keeps us in line. You ladies are fucking awesome and the banding together today shows it!!!!!!!!
All of you out there give so much, it is amazing the connection that can be formed through cyberspace.
Friends whom I've known since childhood, you helped me be the woman I am today, through things that most only read in books. You've giving me strength so when needed I could lead and provide the caregiving placed in my lap.All I can do tell you all how empty my life would be without you and continue to be there when you need me.
D., intellectual conversations at your house rocked. Loved R's input, we do share a birthday. R...HAPPY BELATED!!!!!!!!!! Let's get together soon, throw in a dvd or two, pop some popcorn.
Anyone that feels missed, sorry, BIG HUGS sent to you.
Kudos to new friends and those yet to meet.
Have a great weekend,
peace and love,
N.

Dance of Souls
The depths of those eyes,
falling into them,
lost abandonment,
I surrender!
Those cursed,
glimmering,
gold, glistened eyes.
Silently you command,
boldy you direct,
subservently I submit.
Are you angel or devil,
my will is not my own,
my body yeilds,
shivering,
trembling,
succumbing to your wills.
Longing to run,
begging for your touch,
feeling the need to strike you,
kiss you....
Look away!
I love you,
I hate you,
I need you,
Damn you,
Take me!
Under The Looking Glass
Squeals of laughter emit
childeren with pails at water's edge
The world is safe
innocence fills even the adults
with tranquility and play.
Exhaling,
feeling the sun kiss my body,
I lay and watch.
Memories flood of a little freckled, red-headed girl,
splashing water back and forth
with Mommy and Daddy
brother joining in.
Fearless,
it was wonderful.
All children should feel this free.
Littlest cousin shouts for me to look,
back in present,
visions of a sandy crock appear.
Well formed, claws, teeth and all,
children wide eyed and cautious approach it,
artist smiling broodly with son,
encouraging young ones not to be afraid.
Pictures being taken,
Albums soon will have new additions,
this is how it should be.
Moments frozen in time
for young and old alike.
We drag our sleepy sun
slothed bodies into the cool waters.
Slumbered nerve cells electrified
to life.
As a school of fish we swim,
then near the big slide something so
angelic appeared.
The small girl laughing,
peach fuzz just gracing her frail head,
age difficult to guess,
you could see her scars and troubles.
It took my breath away,
as family and friends cheered her on,
with all her strength she climbed that ladder,
then with the broadest smile,
glided down,
Splash.
Then this little fighting mermaid
plopped right up
face radiating her joy.
Felt a tear come to my eye,
'Good for you' my heart shouted,
A lesson learned that day.
Live, love and seek
joy in life.
Don't take a moment for granted.
This day brought forth
memories of childhood,
friendship and bonding,
sand art,
a champion
time felt frozen for a bit.
Alas it had to end,
Sun shifting to bow down
The moon waiting to takes it's place.
Pulling out of the drive,
I may have left the sand,
not empty though,
more filled than when I entered.
Mental scrapbook filled,
soul renewed,
Optimism's glass filled.
Being so inspired by my creative DTG friends, I decided to kill the evening playing around with MS Paint. Didn't have anything really in mind but wound up with a character that resembles a Reid/alien lovechild.
Guess that is what happens when you play with MS Paint after watching CM's 'Empty Planet' episode....MGG was so cute showing his character's interest of Sci-Fi.
Beings I am totally clueless about how to insert images in Myspace, I inquired assistance from a friend. Now mind you, I'm not an artist but think my little alien is cute.
As soon as I can, I'll post it in here.
Peace and love all,
Nita
Feels like I have a pillow up my nose and throat is scratchy....hate Summer colds. Probably from the beach, Lord only knows what is in the water there.
Not doing much today, took some OTC stuff and will just rest up.
Peace and love all,
Nita
