ENTY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2009

Today is Jenny Day, the 50th anniversary of the start of my life as a Jenson!!!! A lucky, special day! I have written a special poem to commemorate the event:


LUCKY!
{a hai-five to commemorate the happy anniversay of my adoption 50 years ago today!}

Lucky little girl
adopted when young and cute--
is now all grown up!

Life has proved its fun
opportunity abounds
for her happy life!

In her joyous life--
fifty years worth--adoption
fills her life with love

It's not been a breeze--
struggles forming life, alive
Who knows what comes next!!

I have always been--
despite all of life's pitfalls--
lucky lttle girl!!

I am on a new Journey, the one of my new poetry workshop!! From it, I plan to work on my inner ME, including the new self that has had to emerge from the ashes of my old life
starting with our frantic, endless move back in February I now finally feel, after SEVEN long, chaotic months, that I finally have myself back again. n nThat was far from certain for most of those SAD, lonely months! I have NEVER moved well; my soul views it as an unnecessary uprooting and intrusion into my security. Now that I'm finally better at being me again, there's hope for progress again. I'm delighted to say that my self-preservation mode kicked in in full force IMMEDIATELY; I have found this wonderful site, and all the local radio stations thatI could ever hope for!!

NEW PROMPT:
Write a story or poem about being granted a second chance.

SECOND TIME AROUND!
(an entry in honor of September 23, Jenny Day, the 50th anniversary of my adoption!)

This is my SECOND TIME AROUND--
I've hit it running, on the ground!!
And, there's happiness all around--
look at the new tricks I have found!

Tricks in the kitchen--don't be scared!
Burned dinners surely should be shared
and fresh potatoes must be pared
by cooks who cook as though they cared!

My life's now flying RIGHT again!
I know this high will end, but when
it does, I'll still shine bright, and then
I'll happily pick up my pen!

My writing is my life, and how!
My world goes 'round this big WOW!
I'm realy loving it, and now
I work and don't throw in the tow'el!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This poem is my Jenny Day cramp entry! The cramp entry was my JD present to me!.
I didn't start out to sound this happy, but I guess I've undergone a metamorphosis of my own, spontaneously. Without my knowledge. But with my total napproval!!!!

SEPTEMBER 21, 2009

The tension is so thick here tonite that it is upsetting my stomach! Life in this borrowed house is never easy, and sometimes, it downright sucks!!:(. I started with a content rating of E for this journal; who am I kidding?? I cuss like a seasoned sailor; I will try to behave, as this is a class and most of my musings will be public. The only ones that won't be will be the small ones I write in my
J- timer book in bed. The J-timer is a device that I invented this past summer when I couldn't afford a REAL daytimer and was too depressed to adapt an old book to use for the current month. Happily, we now have a NEW daytimer on the way, to arrive soon!! And, the doorbell was finally fixed today, too, so I don't feel so hopelessly isolated from real life!! :). Even tho I know I really know I AM.

The real JOY in my life right now is having my own computer, with all of my writing, back again for the f irst time since February!!!!!:) :) :)!!!! I honestly never thought that I would ever see it again. I KNEW where it was, but had no assurance that it would ever work again. That was just a misunderstanding on my part; if I had told
Rick of my fears, he would have made this happen before now. He has been kind enough to let me borrow his all this time; it had a major Windows-induced meltdown on Saturday while he was at work. The next day, I had mine back!! It's good that I didn't know that that event was all it would take to effect a change. . . .

I'm afraid that I have bitten off too big a chunk with these classes again. There is just not enough time here to be quiet and contemplative!! I sit at this computer for 12 hours each day, and have a steady stream of talk from passers-by. I have found that a method of revenge is to make each one read the poem of the day, the cramp entry submitted for the next morning's competition. They'll learn, I'm sure! My goal for each class is to spend an hour per day r eading and writing. I just have to be together enough to bring my materials to bed to read in that dead time in the AM when I am awake and Rick is not. . . .




I wrote a good bit for t his date, and am not showing it as a separate entry! I have now found it and somehpw added it!!
