Just Another Day In the Life of...Me

The move to the country was probably more than my sister and I could bite off. We moved withing one week of signing for the house. Cleaned the house in four days and packed an entire household up in 24 hours. We ordered the wrong and smallest u-haul, which was a terrible mistake. We should have gotten the largest. The U haul cost us close to two hundred dollars.
Still unpacking and now the once great spiral staircase leading up to my room is a blasted curse. Its hard to carry boxes up it. So, things have to be taken up out of the box one by one.
But, I love the place. I love sitting on the front porch in our chairs watching absolutely nothing move by except an occasional stray dog or leaf. I love having my sister with me too. Right now, she has her grandchildren with her. They are visiting for a few days and she's having a blast with them.
I haven't written not one page all week in book two of The Awakening series. Been so tired and sleepy.
Stopped at the store and bought my chocolate wine to help...nothing is helping; think sleep is really the answer.
Well, the first book will be out in ten days everyone! Count down has began!

Why Hate is Healthy

For those that think killing Osama Bin Laden and all the rejoicing was so awful; that we should all love each other, and not ever hate...well here is a word to the wise about this:
Hate is a natural human emotion. its a reaction to something either painful or unjustifiable.
I cannot say how I would feel if I had a child or a loved one I could not bury because of the rubble of 9/11; I know I would be angered at the senseless violence.
But, rejoicing that Bin Laden is dead is also a healthy human emotion.
This man will never master mind another attack again; oh sure, another will take his place. But, for every action there is a reaction. For there has to be a yin-yang effect. Good cannot exist without evil and evil cannot exist without good.
Saying to someone that we shouldn't rejoice because someone evil died is wrong. All these emotions is natural, and we want to be 'politically correct' to many times and ignore our true feelings.
So, rejoice, cry, do a dance; it doesn't matter  as long as you are feeling!

Saturday with the Grandnephew/neice

Wow! What a wonderful Saturday Ellen (Cookie) and I had. She went and brought her Grandkids home and we had a great afternoon playing and being silly. With the help of Green Social Media Designs (@gsm_design) I made this video for my special sister who is also my very best-friend.
I love you sis!
