“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face… You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
~~ Eleanor Roosevelt
About Me
- puddle
- Water gathering most days I wait through blue and sun till dusk or even later and the rose has faded to lavender, to gray some days, the sleet has started and the leaves underfoot are slick with ice somehow I'm never sorry and never learn one night I waited till the stars were out dropped the bucket into sound, only felt the weight of it filling and the night full of stars and the river full of stars and the bucket full of stars come morning, the coffee is also full of stars

puddle--good quote to read over and over. That lady went through a whole lot her ownself and came out the other side. We do learn I think from everything we experience. I only wish that sometimes the lessons weren't so damn hard.

puddle,
If WVA isn't really home anymore and NYC is too expensive, what about living elsewhere? I know relocating gets harder as we get older, but you've lived all over the world. You also might feel better living in a blue state.
I thiink once I get used to the idear that my heart will not likely ever be matched anywhere again, I'll accept WV. And price-wise, it can't be beat. . . . Taxes, insurance, plus I own the Mansion outright: not likely to happen again. . . .
