“A word is not the same with one writer as with another. One tears it from his guts.
The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket.”
~Charles Peguy
Somewhere along the way, I started writing. If you care to look beyond the jokes & smiles, you will find me a bit of an introvert, spinning through life one clumsy step at a time, fortunate to not have skinned my knees one too many times yet.
When everything gets a little too drowned out by the white noise of this planet, I tend to reassemble myself at the keyboard in an attempt to slow down & breathe.
English is my second language. I love how it feels on my tongue and how the words can be shaped and sculpted, so be patient with me — I am experimenting.
Enjoy, if you will.

Hi Miriam, I came across your blog via some other blog. Wishing you a most joyous New Year and look forwards to sharing ideas and posts with you. Be well!
thank you for the visit – Happy New Year to you, too!
Love your way of thinking..
With me I have to blog out the pain…
Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I am down. REAL DOWN.
When the pain is so hard, I feel I must (Same as you)
Let it out..
yes – better to let stuff out than keep it bottled up – it is certainly a lot healthier 🙂
It is..Yeah.
This page really helped you know. It gave me a way to shout at life and feel sorry for myself. I been here about 6 months. Had the account a year, never used it really for 6 months. I met some AMAZING people here, nearly a thousand follow me now..I about fainted when I seen it..
I think here, the more honest you are, the better it can be for us. I don’t know why you blog, or your real reasons, if you have any..
I came here to reach out, hoping others would reach back..WOW..People reached back.
I even made an award!! lol And I don’t do awards any more. I got like 110 and HAD to stop. I don’t know if you do awards, but it was becoming more Awards than blogs 🙂

the answer as to why i write is right here… 🙂

I did poetry for a while then just stopped.. Don’t know why, I loved playing with words.
Thoughts?

I ticked “Poem” a few times by mistake, so not all are poems. I did one on Family, kinda liked it

Now be honest 🙂 lol
awww heartwarming…
shows how much you love your family – i hope you showed them!
Yeah, my Parter Dawn reads all my blogs.
I was going to stop blogging,, it was her who talked me into not stopping. She is my everything….
She has more Boy friends than Girls.
I have more girl pals than men, and we are both never jealous, we are best friends first. And this helps us..
that is a great foundation for a relationship. it is priceless to have someone like that by your side.
It is, and I don’t take it for granted. We both have to work at it I guess. But being friends first helped. As the friendship never went away. I always have to say to my sons “Now listen, this doesn’t happen for everyone, so don’t marry the the first woman you meet” lol…

Stopping by to thank you for your like on Shift Key. You write very well and I enjoy your style. Part of my heart is where you are… in Bad Kreuznach and Schwäbisch Gmünd… six wonderful years there (too much to share in a Comment). I will love Germany, her people, and language für immer. I look forward to reading more of your work.
thank you very much for your kind words and visit. 🙂
as it seems, it is a small world after all…
