Monday's Missives
- How poor was I you say? I was so poor that when I would buy the 2 for .99 hot dogs with ashtray and cushion change I would pile on ridiculous amounts of onion, saurkraut, mayo, picante sauce and mustard just to have that something extra to eat. And thank you for that opening by the way.
- I gave my son a limited edition, autographed book that was printed with special inks on archival paper etc. for Christmas- he loved it.
- I can get something right on occasion.
- In the past I could keep two books going at once and never use a marker.
- Now, I can forget I've even started a book in the first place.
- Still puzzled by the fact I've never made a New Years resolution- in my entire life.

It sucks to be poor. But it teaches us humility and compassion.
Good morning! I think NY resolutions are way over rated. It is just something else to make you feel like you've failed when you don't accomplish it. If there is something you want to change, just set your mind to it and do it. No need to wait for New Year to roll around. If you don't change it, maybe it just wasn't that important to you.
How strange, I thought I was the only one who had never made a resolution, now I hear you haven't either. Interesting.
I have never been able to read two books at one time. impressive. I also lose my place if there isnt a bookmark with a neon red arrow pointing to the word. :)
This is the first year I did't make a resolution. Just forgot to...it was the best feelng ever.
I figure if I'm not motivated to do something at any other time of the year, Jan 1 isn't going to motivate me either.
Poor brings out the creative juices lol........ I was so poor once when my X first left and emptied all the bank accounts and savings accounts and took every penny out of our joint business..... that to survive I would take my 4 sons (16,14,9,6) to the big supermarket and tell them to eat enough to fill their bellies..... I would right down everything they ate and a year later I went to customer services and tried to pay.... the manager of the shop was called and he told me 'not to worry, you did what you had to, have it on us' :)
maybe thats why now I would give the shirt off my back to anyone that was in more need then me.... and I have since...
I do have 2 books going at the same time lol one in the house and one I leave in the car for when I have to hang around whilst picking various kids up that are never on time :)
I stopped making resoluations about 20 years ago......poppycock LOL - instead I just follow the signs in life, Im a great believer in signs lol
The pressie to your son sounds brill..... does he want my autographs of Ali and Foreman from Rumble in the jungle? :)
Happy Monday dear you..

When I first left my husband, my girls and I were in a secret shelter for battered women with the clothes on our backs, not a penny, literally to my name, yet my daughters do not remember it that way at all, they only remember having special times with me! How great is that? I thought I was so poor yet they remember only the riches of time spent with Mom !! Course, now they are grown up and spoiled!!
No resolutions for me, either, I have enough ego problems without adding a year long failure to the list! And I can only read one book at a time cause I love those million page, epic historical ones!! Any more Zac artwork?
opus- yes, right- and too many people can't enjoy what they have even if it's just each other.
anon- true true
m.r. intersesting- you don't find too many who don't have NYRs.
ad rock- that's cool.
my queen- if you wanted somnething i'm sure you could just will it into being. right?
marmsie- what a story- really. signs? Joaquin Phoenix rocked in that movie- and was the alien the scariest thing ever?
gia pet- that is really great how they remember that time. a family member runs a shelter in my home town. they built an animal shelter there and paid nearly a million dollars for it but, the shelter for battered women barely eeks out an existence and when women DO seek help they often have to directed to another county- disgusting. literally, we should be ashamed.
thanks for sharing that.
