Tomorrow is the anniversary of my son's birth...
34 years ago...in a land far, far away...
I was 17, and happy...
naive, and new to the world,
I had only just begun my journey.
Married the day after my 17th birthday,
because 16 was way, way, to young,
it just made sense, that 17 would always
be much easier to say how old I was
when I first married.
It was amazing...I remember the
first time he was in my arms...
"He's so beautiful!"
I would think all mothers must feel that
first bond of love with their newborns.
Asking my Granny, years ago, if she remembered
her children being born...she said
"No, not really."
So I was determined to remember.
Thank you Granny for that.
It's an amazing thing, to think they
just hand over this brand new life to you.
It's yours, well, for awhile anyway.
You get to '~own~' them for such a short time.
It truly goes too fast.
And if we all could only realize how
truly amazing it is, while it's new,
maybe it'd never get old...maybe we'd
never forget that first burst of love.
If all children could be loved so dearly,
If all children never had to feel fear...
Maybe there would be more amazing people
in the world like my son.
I share this love, and would say to
all parents...love your children unconditionally.
Make sure they know how much they are loved.
If we raise loving children, they will
become loving adults...love begets love...
"And what a Wonderful World this could be..."

Ok...so I get a little distracted...
Yep, just what I thought, I didn't do the 'flash fiction' thing...so I slacked...seems I only know 'not-not real' stuff...in other words...the truth, the real stuff. So I shall focus on that.
I'm learning the in's and out's of the internet...what to do to make it work for you. So as I progress, I'll put important information on another page...this one is just for the daily grind...:)) So look for the "Money" page...that should draw some interest. People seem to need it, probably more than they actually like it. But in a monetary society, we have no choice but to know it, and all about it. So that is what that page will be about.
I've not released this blog to anyone, I know, so if you come across it...it's just by chance...so hello...and goodbye...I know you won't be back...:)) But maybe someday...you'll happen upon this blog again, and
you'll want to follow it...it will be something...someday...:))

Flash Fiction…Fast…fake…
Well, not exactly real…but fast and furious to read…less than 1000 words, and readable in 5 minutes or less…what's not to love in this fast paced, fake world? I think I'm going to like this new form…we shall see…J

Another day…
Submitting stories can be stressful…in this ~soulful~ existence…things touch you quite quickly…there's somebody at the end of those emails, hiding behind the monitor…sending out words they know will not be taken well…but they do it…anyway…I'm sure there is the occasional acceptance email that goes out…I bet that feels good to write…to send…to receive a reply to…those are ones I'd like to be able to send out…of course, getting them is just fine and dandy, too. I'll settle for that…for now…JJ

oh the emptiness...
My oh my...to depend on something...and have it vanish...without warning or expectation...no wonder I don't depend on 'things'...whether they be ~things~ or living ~things~...every~thing changes...it's the way it is.
So get on with it...get it done...do it...all those things...no ~one~ thing should be able to stop what it is you really want. So move it.
There are so many great things to do...where to begin...oh me oh my...
:)
