An “Invitation”
If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer…
If you’re a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!
- Invitation by Shel Silverstein
I love this poem. I have from the very first moment I read it when I was but a wee lass!

We presently live about an hour away from my husband’s work (a.k.a. civilization) and although we have really enjoyed the small town we currently live in we miss being closer to the city (both of us having grown up in Miami-I don’t think we can help ourselves very much.) So whenever we want to do anything other than going to the movies or Wal-Mart we’ve got to make the trek into the Metro D.C. area.
We recently did just that in order to have a fun summer afternoon at a local water park and because the drive was over an hour my boys can get bored and are notorious for getting car sick. I’ve learned to be prepared for both situations.
Read MoreTry & Fail Or Never Make the Attempt?
I’m back to answer question number two from my post 50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind.
Which is worse, failing or never trying?
I didn’t even have to think about this one. I’d rather fail a thousand times then never try something because I was afraid I might fail. That’s not to say that things I want to do don’t scare the crap out of me sometimes and that the fear of failing isn’t there-I am an over-achiever at best-one of those people for whom a “B” isn’t a good thing. We can’t be ruled by our fears, we must rule them and to do so is to try and do the things-that if we succeed would make our lives that much more richer-not necessarily in the monetary sense either….but would fulfill us and add meaning to our existence.
Get it Off Your Chest: Nine things about yourself
I’m into list making these days….here are nine things you may not know about me. Feel free to join in and share your own nine either in comment or blog post.
I can be terribly shy. I know you may find that hard to believe, but it’s totally true.
I love the beach and loathe the sun. Okay, perhaps “loathe” is too strong a statement, I don’t really hate the sun, but when something can give you cancer it kind of gets put on your “so-not-a-good-thing list”.
I love Opera.
I could sit all day and watch historical romances on the television. I especially love PBS mini-series that adapt Jane Austen novels. (I happen to adore Jane Austen).
I think most people believe that I’ve got things together 100% of the time. I don’t. Some days I feel like I really could fall completely apart.
I used to have a gap between my two front teeth.
I think my feet are ugly. They are the only part of my body that REALLY bugs me. I’m planning on doing something that (I hope) will make me love them.
I sometimes snort when I laugh.
I try to remind myself every day that life is full of endless possibilities.
