(L of "I eat Books" and "Random_Speaks) Her links are on my blog.<br /><br />She recommended your blog for your writings & photographs, two interests we share. <br /><br />I'm skipping reading the comments here in this post, because I'm a voracious reader, writer, besides being an artist. I love to read and write poetry, too.<br /><br />A recent post of mine is a prose piece about memories of my grandmother. It was written and typed in 15 min off-the-cuff, but there on my blog is where I can express emotions without concern of editing and judgement. <br /><br />I'm going to nose around here more unless our power flickers b/c of the snowstorm. Enjoying my visit here! Thanks! :)Gelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126965921250934236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1109121809843137552005-02-22T20:23:00.000-05:002005-02-22T20:23:00.000-05:00I have not, yet, lost the pillars of my life - my ...I have not, yet, lost the pillars of my life - my family is the greatest gift I've ever received on Earth. My mother, brother, sister, and now a new nephew.<br /><br />When my mother passes on, I think I'll feel quite hollow, probably unable to function or stop crying for several days to several weeks, until I'm able to face the fact that she is no longer with me. <br /><br />She is my example of everything I want to be, my superwoman in blue jeans, my heart and my best friend.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335320552964298416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1109098384577788962005-02-22T13:53:00.000-05:002005-02-22T13:53:00.000-05:00I'm very close to my grandmother, and often though...I'm very close to my grandmother, and often thought of how I would come to terms with her death should she die. According to my faith, death is only a temporary passing and a beginning to a new life. However, it's always easier to philosophize than to put it into practice. <br /><br />When death eventually comes to any of my loved ones, I think I would be lost, on top of crying my eyes out, and needing lots of time to heal the pain.rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023503200060736541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1109083615616822002005-02-22T09:46:00.000-05:002005-02-22T09:46:00.000-05:00A great post!

He was an editor, earlier in life, at Oxford University Press in Toronto, and really kicked my ass when it came to writing. I tried in the 1990s to get published and aside from a couple of local community newspapers never managed to get it done. I see blogging as an interim step to serious writing. It allows me to maintain that promise and helps me deal with one of the most important people in my life not being around. Not sure what he would make of a blog though. It it's isn't the Queen's English most of the time, but it does keep the muse in me ticking. :)Mike Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14226759908852992699noreply@blogger.com
