Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats." Diane Arbus My life seems to operate sideways~ backwards almost~ and I have come to see thats right for me. A rain of snakes,disruption that cause's growth ,the world split in two.Everyone has there own path,mine has been one of thought,mostly of things folks today seem to disregard. Truth, personal integrity,politeness,...not all eschew these things.For me its been the easiest way to be~ any other way leads me to more trouble..and a sense of humor,above all about myself. Laughter keeps a person sane,and I enjoy seeing the coyote in myself~ the eternal trickster

Things I will miss the most
I have been busy trying to network my two PC's and not obsess about my loss.Today I made the chocolate killer cake that I had promised K's dad for Christmas..no one to lick the beaters and the bowls... I will miss my boys amazement at how "strong" my arms must be (lol) watching me beat batter.egg whites. Pleas for the bowl,beater,and my eldest face the first time he had to share~he at 17. My youngests face when ,at his first taste of batter cast me a look as if to say"where have you been keeping this wonder? and how long have you kept it from me?" Chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter ones too..no memories for the hand made wonders of my kitchen.at one time how I grumbled at only making the killer cake~it was all they'd eat~ and now ,how I'd love to make tons more for them.The smallest thing slams me back into the dark of my loss. I so appreciate having this space to vent,it is my only therapy, my way out. 3 comments from 3 users

-I love to cook. When I retired I looked forward to doing a lot of home cooking. Then I got a Sunbeam mixer, a blender and a new food processor for Christmas. But now, rich foods aren't in our diets anymore. What's a frustrated cook to do? Ironic isn't it.

WHEW! When I saw that title I though you had some terminal disease! Ahhh..an empty nest..It seems that, in my family, that may be something that happens to other people! I had to buy a new doorjamb because my old one had claw marks on it from trying to get my oldest daughter out of the house. She moved to Vegas when she was 21, but is now back with my grandson(he can stay..well..for short intervals, anyway!..LOL). I moved in with my Mom for nearly a year after my last divorce. I was 38! I did pay most of the bills while I was there though, so Mom wasn't TOO put out! My yougest is just now 11, so I still have a way to go, so it's hard to say what I will miss!
