that I revisit my poetry.
In my many years of angst, writing was one of few ways for me to get any relief. Even if writing about an issue didn’t create a solution, it was a means to get it out of my head. I always wondered if I might someday add music to the poems to turn them into songs.
Recently a friend had come across some of my old poetry. Twice now she’s mentioned that I might want to revisit some of them. I feel like this is an urging for me to follow through and see if any of them would lend themselves to music.
So that’s my intention…to revisit my poetry, see if any would lend themselves to music and end up with some kind of finished product and get my truth out there into the world.

On July 1st last year we discovered we were pregnant. We hadn’t been actively trying so the news came as a bit of a shock. Before we’d even adjusted to the news, I started having complications. Within 6 days I was in the hospital for emergency surgery due to a ruptured fallopian tube. What a scary, crazy time. My husband was beside himself with the idea of losing us both. I’m grateful I am ok, and while I wanted to bring that little tyke into the world, I believe things unfolded as they did for some cosmic reason.
This tiny life gave us many gifts. It brought my husband and his father back into a relationship and has motivated me to take better care of my body in preparation to try again.
So while we’re not trying yet, I’ve lost 25 pounds and am almost ready to tackle removing nicotine from my life (again). I know now I have to do these things for myself first, which is another lesson I’ve learned from all that has transpired.

I love it when I achieve a goal on this site. During the Winter holidays my husband got me a digital camera. It’s pretty cool and can even do videos. Now to get a memory card…and then begin using it for my desired purposes. Just glad I can check this one off the list:)
