I'm a traditionally and self published author. I write in the genre of children and YA at the moment but working my way up to adults. I'm a sports loving, photo taking gal who loves to sing/dance to my own enjoyment. I love to laugh even at myself. I am also owned by 8 birds and 2 hamsters, and yes they know it. :)

Westerns

How many of you are fans of westerns? I am an avid lover of these shows. This ranges from Bonanza, Gunsmoke, The Big Valley to The Rifleman. Thanks to Tv Land my adoration is fulfilled with the old-time good shows from the early 50ties, 60ties and 70ties. The ones I favor are the black and white versions but will watch either or.

 

One thing that I especially love are the death scenes. A villain or hero will get shot down and yet has a chance to say a five-minute monologue to who ever is around him. That just gets me laughing in real life which is probably not good but it does.  The man gets to say good-by to his children, apologize to his wife and tell the person who shot him that he is forgiven. In actuality the kill shot should have gotten the poor man on contact.

The good guy versus the bad guy was always apparent. There was no mistaken who was who unlike in today’s world. But this is the beauty of the movies and people behind the scenes who direct and produce feature shows.  Things that normally is not possible in real life can be manipulated before our eyes. For the large part people are okay with this. Otherwise it would be life imitating life and humans have enough of that by just getting up.

So while life is going by my window, I will take time off now and then and turn on channel 47 and go back in time where reality was smeared a bit so people could sit back and enjoy the show. Even if that means having a few laughs at their expense.

Happy Happy New Year every one. It is officially 2013. A chance for us to start fresh one more time. It is to be filled with a lot of hope, good cheer and spirits. Let’s face it 2012 was rough for all of us. Across this great country people lost loved ones, workers got laid off or lost their jobs completely to those getting very sick  If that was not bad enough all one had to do was pick up the newspaper or watch the news to see the constant tragedy that plagues our world.

Each January however, many of us fill our hearts and mind with the prospect that this will be a better year. This includes me. Without hope where would we be? I am huddled in a corner afraid to look outside the window.  So Happy New Year every one, I hope 2013 is better for your families and yourself. Make a small list of resolutions or a million. Even if you fail at completing them at least for a small moment in time when you made that list you had good vibes for the future. I personally think that counts, a lot.

2013 here I come.

New Year Resolutions

At the end of each December, people make a list of resolutions that they will try to accomplish in the new year. I am no exception. I keep mine simple and tend to use the same ones for they are what I need to try to concentrate on.

1-Try to eat right and exercise- For the most part I been doing well with this.

2-Save a little bit of money each month- This one well I am soso on. We all know when emergency hits the saving get plundered.

3-Try to treat others like you want to be treated- I can work on this more.

I might have some stragglers in the four and fifth spots but my primary ones are listed above. That was until I came across something on Facebook that made me pause.  The post mentioned to get a jar out and every time something nice happens regardless how small, place that on a piece of paper and put it in the container. By the end of 2013 empty it and see how many awesome things happened that you probably forgot occurred.

I really love this idea. We tend to narrow in on the big events in our lives. The items that made us pause and wonder about. The little things sometimes get overlooked or just completely forgotten. So I have decided to do this for the year 2013. I am already excited to see what will be placed in the jar.  The little things that made my day but got left at the waste side due to the hectic way of life. Perhaps this happens since it was not earth shattering by today’s standards. Maybe this will change my perception, I really hope it does.

Happy New Year every one. With that I hope it is an amazing year and that along the way you don’t ignore the little things in life that are just as important.
