Assignment 1
Well…nice to meet you then. The “you” being all you other intrepid bloggers out there! I am new to this medium though I have been writing since I learned how to print my name on special lined paper, the kind with a top and bottom line and a dashed line running across the middle! I am in the final years of an administrative/clerical career. Retirement doesn’t seem to be a reality to me at this point, but I am sure I’ll change my tune as I near the official age. I am certain though that writing and my love of words will always be a part of my life!
I am a U.S. Midwesterner who transplanted to the mid-Atlantic South several decades ago. My children, all daughters, are grown. Two are married with children, two are single pet parents; all four are accomplished amazing humans. I am a proud mom and grandma to my growing brood.
Why am I here? To learn, to grow, to be part of a community of other word and art lovers. I haven’t decided yet what my blog’s focus should be. I love to write poetry, and prose, spent a decade writing and performing folk-style gospel songs, and I also have an interest in visual art…painting, photography and creative photo editing. For the past several months at least, my blog has been a hodge-podge of all of the above. At any rate everything you find here is personal – based on what I know. I’ve always believed the best writing has that familiar flavor to it. It’s what I like to read as well. So…keeping it real. Looking forward to this journey with you. 😊
