Second Life

I have created a second life. Like I don't have enough to do in my first life. So..Arwen was created in Oyster Bay. She's a red head with Blue eyes. She has a house, an Island, and can ballroom dance. The really good news for me...is that I found my poetry voice again. I hadn't used it in so long. I had forgotten how much I really wanted to write.

Lounging on my beach...just to get away sometimes.

Guess we need to read it all

How often do we get an email and scan for important words? I got three emails this week, and I only half read all of them. Why is that? It is because I think they are short messages, not "real" letters, I can just skim them. What happens when I skim? I miss things...important things like times and directions. I miss little things like who sent the email or a date. I miss other things too...like I love you, I miss you or thanks. Today I thought I had missed an important thing...and turns out...I didn't. That was nice to see.

Lonely

Project WRITE is a 4 county grant project to help teachers be better teachers of writing. I will be here all weekend. It means I will not be with my family or those close to me. The teachers here are great. I am struggling with being lonely and alone and surrounded by interesting people. The good news for me is that we have access to technology, so I can contact those I need to. I am just tired of being lonely. :-( Sometimes I just feel like this will go on forever.
