Ramblings of Silver Blue

Happy. – Moreso than I’ve been in over 20 years. Frustrated. – Saffyre needs rear tires. They’re large tires. They ain’t cheap. Happy. – Thanks to a friend, I’m able to get the tires (and installation) for less than a third of what the dealership was wanting. Elated. – This is a holiday weekend. Blessed. [...]

Insatiable Written by Darren Hayes/Walter Afanasieff When moonlight crawls along the street Chasing away the summer heat Footsteps outside somewhere below The world revolves I let it go We build our church above this street We practice love between these sheets The candy sweetness scent of you It bathes my skin I’m stained by you [...]

“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting”. ~e.e. cummings

Yes, I’ve played more games of tennis than I care to count. I’ve bowled so much, I felt like my arm was going to fall off. (New high score: 263!!!) I found out that Brunswick Bowling was released for the Wii. AMF gets released in November. I enjoy it because it’s exercise that I like, [...]

“Time and Tide” by Basia It’s hard for me to stop my heart love never knows when the time is right I don’t want to hurt anybody but can’t help loving you I never felt like this before I know this is special worth waiting for let life take take its course that’s the only [...]

Before I started Body for Life in March, I bought a suit — and was thoroughly depressed. I was a tight 50. Today, Tink and I made the journey out to Kohl’s, and they tell you — expect great things. I tried on several leather jackets, and a couple suit jackets. The 44s are a [...]

Regardless of whether or not this is a valid post, it should make you stop and think about what equality REALLY means. Many letters have been sent to the Valley News concerning the homosexual menace in Vermont. I am the mother of a gay son and I’ve taken enough from you good people. I’m tired [...]

“Deliver me, out of my sadness… Deliver me, from all of the madness… Deliver me, courage to guide me, Deliver me, strength from inside me…. all of my life, I’ve been in hiding, wishing there was someone just like you…” – Sarah Brightman “So many years gone, still… I remember. How did I ever let [...]

One a few of you readers of the ramblings have written me, wondering what’s going on since I’m not my normal rambling self. Let me state, for the record: Nothing’s wrong. For once, I’m content. I feel good, about my situations, myself, and all that hoopla. Remember that being content does not equal being complacent. [...]

Hello everyone. Does anyone know a good dream interpreter? I had an interesting (at least to me) dream last night about my grandmother who passed away in 2004, and some photographs from my youth that she wanted, but I was reluctant to give her until I had scanned copies. (They were from instant developing Polaroids, [...]

I am feeling much better today. The stomach has calmed down. In fact, the grilled veggies I made for dinner tonight hit the spot. In the summertime, when the produce is fresh, I could almost be a vegetarian. Anyway, it’s time for me to go to bed and dream of wonderful things to come. I [...]

“Faith precedes the miracle.” – Unknown

…it usually finds a way to smack you in the head and make you listen. Take today. I haven’t been able to keep any food down due to myriad reasons. So, I came home early from work, which I almost *never* do. Really. It takes me almost being on my deathbed to even consider going [...]

Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial to creation, and the exponent of breath. – E. Dickinson

The Change Garth Brooks One hand Reaches out And pulls a lost soul from harm While a thousand more go unspoken for They say what good have you done By saving just this one It’s like whispering a prayer In the fury of a storm And I hear them saying you’ll never change things And [...]

Songs find you from the past for a purpose. It’s just like 1988, all over again. May I not make the same errors in judgment this go round. “Meet Me Halfway” – Kenny Loggins In a lifetime made of memories I believe In destiny Every moment returns again in time When I’ve got the future [...]

You Are An INFJ The Protector You live your life with integrity, originality, vision, and creativity. Independent and stubborn, you rarely stray from your vision – no matter what it is. You are an excellent listener, with almost infinite patience. You have complex, deep feelings, and you take great care to express them. In love, [...]

‘Nuff Said.

Pull up a chair, people. It’s been one of those lives. I can’t say things are bad; but when things have been good for as long as they have, you really don’t have anywhere to go but down a few notches. After having a knot between my shoulder blades that just would NOT let go, [...]

It’s been a while since I poured myself a fresh cup and sat down to talk with everyone in the morning. Something’s happening in my life, to me, and I’m not sure what it is. I sleep about 5 hours a night. Sometimes less. The universe is slapping my face (figuratively, of course) via my [...]
