Just a Quick Post

School is keeping me incredibly busy, so that's why I haven't posted in awhile.

One of my classes is very small, only seven people total. It's very interesting to watch how people change week to week. When I first came into the class only two people offered to help. As the weeks have passed, a person who always brushed me off is starting to come around. On the other hand, some people still haven't changed, but oh well. I live my life for me, not to please anyone else.
I've been stressed over this one class for awhile now. Needless to say, last week's class was the best it had ever been! And to top it off, I actually did better on the assignment than I thought I would. Ninety percent of the time the things that we worry about, never happen.

Life can be so hectic, but thankfully I have at least two (that I see regularly) people who will kindly remind me of the importance of breathing. It's good to have people in your life that keep you grounded, and remind you to take a step back and look and what is really important.

Memories Rewind: Granny’s Clothesline

Image
I watched as Granny hung each garment on the clothesline. The sun was shining so bright I had to squint my eyes. Papa's old flannel shirts flapped in the breeze beside Granny's flowered house coats. There was something magical about that clothesline to me. I was intrigued by the simpleness of it. No whirring of the dryer. The clothes became drier as the day wore on. The next day, Granny would take her brown clothes basket to gather the clothes. One by one, she slipped the clothes pins off. It was almost as if she had her own rhythm. I stopped at the sliding glass door, lost in my own thoughts. That old clothesline had been in the backyard for years. The rough hewn posts were sturdy and solid. They told their own story, marked by the pelting rain and other elements. I hurried inside as Granny came in. I grabbed a shirt and pressed it to my face. The smell of freshly cleaned clothes was intoxicating. Now, most of us use washing machines. I still remember that clothesline and am

I've changed my URL to http://dropletsonajournal.blogspot.com/ I've been racking my brain for weeks trying to come up with a good URL since I changed my blog name awhile back. Please update your blog lists. If you're a follower, it will still take you to my blog. No worries. (If my followers have any trouble, just remove me from your blogs you follow, then add me back with the new URL). I have another exciting change so be sure to check back later this week! P.S.

Freewriting Day 19: Tangled Web

Just a reminder. Freewriting is when you just write. There is no set way to do it. This DOES NOT mean that my writing is free to be taken by others. I want to make that clear. Oh, what a tangled web we weave That was a Shakespeare tragedy Now it is your reality. All of the lies and cover ups Have buried you Gone are the comforts you had grown accustomed to Why did you push that boundary? Why did you cross that line? Did you really think "I can get by with it this time?" What happened to you? What kind of sick, twisted fantasy did you have? So many questions left hanging in the air. Do you even know yourself? Maybe you stopped caring, Maybe you felt alone. I hope that cheap thrill was worth it because now you are caught. You can't run away. You can't escape the stares. Worst of all, you can't escape yourself. I know you are probably replaying every scene, Wishing and hoping it's all a bad dream. Sadly, t
