let sleeping dragons lie even in their sleep they are still dragons dreaming of times ago and times yet to come
stirring at the call "Come" dragon remember when your fires burned and you conquered much
in her sleep she remembers the darkness the fires that burned to grasp at power and to grapple with pain
to know her strength the power she holds yet sleeping so serene for much too long and her dragons sleep tonight

Hello Again... Today is the End of a journey. But the beginning of a new one..... Today was Graduation Day - one worked hard for. It rained. And God smiled on me. First He gave me a rainbow...for miles in the middle of the storm. Karma sent me to the movies. And God gave me a young student whom I thought I lost to CPS and a Group home. And boy was I happy....So was she. He gave me laughter. I hadn't done that in a while without guilt. And then He gave me fireworks. Completely random. The feeling of pride watching my grandson watch me graduate...the joy at seeing Meghan again....the wonder of twinkles in the sky.
And then there was Him. Back. Hard.
Today was stellar. Totally.

Here I am, back in town and it's been a long journey. So many things have happened this year ~ far too many to even recap. Drama, betrayal, boredom, bullshit... combined with stress, confusion and disappointment make for a very cranky C. This life has turned noisy, confrontational, non-confrontational and sometimes silent even though deafening. I miss blogging ~ I miss knowing friends. I am whining again aren't I? I wish I could have a mulligan....play this year over. Maybe even rewind a few years or a decade or two. I know that the end is way closer than the beginning, but it pisses me off to be stuck in the mire. I really miss not having the One who could bring me back to center, to my balanced Chi, to the place where things seemed ...right. Funny, I'm not so sure I even know who that was once upon a time.
Think I need a cup of tea. Maybe a vacation. Maybe a lucky break. Maybe....

So should I be concerned that the "person" I am in a relationship with has blocked me from reading his Blog? And a little female friend of his has also "Blocked" her blog?.....
Hmmmm.......?
Imagine that.

Yes My friends....it has been too long. And 2013 started off horribly. But that's a-changin (I'm praying)
To All the Faithful out there.... I'm sending BIG HUGS!!!!

To All who have gone, and have remained and have laughed and who have cried Here... I haven't forgotten you.
Life is so very precious...regret nothing. Live each Day like someone you LOVE won't be there tomorrow.
And always remember that each and every one can leave an imprint in your life ~ whether it be good or bad. It's the memories that make us who we are. It's your choice which ones to follow....
Love and Hugs ALWAYS... T

Hello My Friends...I have missed you ALL...!!!! Let me start by catching up:
August of last year was quite the month of shaking up. You see I enrolled myself in school. Seems that I convinced myself that a monumental birthday was coming up and it was time for change. This part of my life I decided, was going to be more about others than me. Don't get me wrong, I have tried to think about others first always, but I decided to step it up a notch. I wanted to give back, help out a cause, attach to an issue....and I found myself deciding to become an educator. Yes, a teacher. No, I haven't the patience for teeny tots. No, I don't think I could handle rowdy middle-schoolers. So after much thought (in the range of ten years of thinking) I decided to work towards my degree again - Secondary School Mathematics.
(And why did I hear such a groan and see eyes rolling out there???)
I placed the bar even further and aimed for an even higher mark - I am working toward the field of alternative education specializing in High School Math. What may you ask is Alternative Education? Alternative Education is everything nobody wants to discuss - behavioral disorders, juvenile detention centers, prison GED classes. Yup....those (and adults). Pretty high bar I set.
So off I go to school each day, learning things about math I never knew existed along with childhood development, social identity issues, race relations and a whole lot more. IF I survive, I will be a Math Teacher, hopefully not like the ones everyone hated in school. I am bringing almost thirty years of my own -rearing-research along with an effective resume in dealing with life and its hazards in order to qualify for this position.
August/Sept also brought a huge change to our family structure. Upon a whole lot of contemplating and even more flipping a coin, BlockHead and I decided to join forces...in West Virginia. This has been a challenging year for all of us as I well expected. My have been adjusting to a new member of the family and spent some time torturing him to see if he would pass the endurance testing process. Lil Block back home in PA has also lost a big part of her life, and only gets to see her Daddy when we can arrange to make trips for the weekend there. I especially don't like that part. I so had hoped that this could have been a silky smooth road for all the , knew in my heart it wouldn't be and so far they are fairing well.
More recently, I waved goodbye to #1 again, this time to work in Afghanistan under a private contractor. He will be gone for a year...his pay is very handsome and he believes it is worth it. I still don't like it. He sits on the Border between too volatile countries, watching. At least we can communicate almost anytime we'd like via the internet (Thank You God). He just sent a picture of his tent-quarters and the description on the cover of his French-made MRE....I hope he doesn't have to eat something called "rabbit paste" for too many more months.
I miss writing both here and at home...my partners in crime here seemed to always fuel the fire that would bring out some pretty interesting works for me to post. More so I miss all my friends...the real people that lived in the blogs and on this site, that were here looking for friendship, comfort, and sometimes a place to scream out loud. Most of us here found those things after weeding out the fakes and the drama...and to that very special group of friends...thank you always for being here then and now.
T.....always

Have you ever noticed that for some people there is an incredible need to post crap on their blogs in order to get sympathy and to recruit supports even tho what they perceive isn't always whats really going on?
Puh-Lease
Thank you and have a nice day.

Have you ever felt like life is pulling every square inch of your body in a separate yet distinctly different direction? How about the sound you hear when listening to every single brain cell you have exploding in perfectly synchronized harmony? Maybe the frustration of your blood as it boils in your veins and courses through your lungs, searing everything it touches? Or the collapse of your heart at the end of a day filled with tears and worries and breakdowns and anxiety...?
Today was one of those days. I'm sure it's not the last...but I have a feeling its just the first of many.

New Years Thoughts...

As I'm sitting pondering the fate of life, I truly know how blessed I am for another year here with my Vision Personals Friends, even tho I haven't been here very much as of late. My year has been filled with much joy balanced with it's share of heartache, as I'm sure holds true for most of us here online. I miss being here, writing here, finding comfort here. My "Real" world has pulled at me to return and be a part of it for now, and there are times when I wish I could go back instead of ahead...
A Friend was lost this year, although things had changed for us I never wanted to lose him for real. but this time I did.
A precious Princess in our family was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy...A challenge for sure, but a relief that things could have been worse.
A combining of families took place. Adjustment is change. Change can be trying. Change can be a very good thing.
A "Bucket List" item was finally checked off. I turned the clock back twenty years and became a Freshman again. Rusted brain cells, once left to age are now being oiled and forced into use.
Once again the sea of life has taken me to new shores, to new places in order to meet new lives. Some will become treasured friends for a moment. Some will become jewels forever. Either way I thank you out there...for being my friends. For holding on, for lifting me up, for just being you.
May this Year, as every Year bring you much Peace and Health and Happiness to you and yours!!! Namaste.
Tami
