just thinking...

been sitting here thinking.. and i wonder, does anyone really care anymore.. does anyone really think of going out of their way to do something nice for anyone just to do it??? i mean when was the last time you kept the door open for someone who was maybe a min behind you?? or held the elevator door, offered to go grocery shopping for an elderly neighbor, or even cook a meal for a neighbor who is elderly and take it to them? has this world become so numb that nothing else matters but number 1??? are we really that biased in our thinking? REALLY??? i will let you in on something.. not me, i can't let an injustice go unnoticed, or someone go without if they really need it to survive.. i know there are things i cannot do things that are maybe out of my control... but if i can cook that one meal or hold that door just a few seconds longer.. and to tell that person to have a good day.. knowing that maybe that one act of good will, kindness or whatever you call it made them feel special, appreciated or might just have saved that person's life.. that is what i like to know about, that maybe that time i stopped to let a car go passed .. may by some fraction of a sec saved them from an accident.. or that one meal may have been the only meal that person may have had..but not just that.. we are a land of technology.. but we forget to just pick up the phone and say hey my friend, you have been missed..or i was just thinking of you .. anything could be the nicest gesture .. maybe it is the Christmas spirit taking over me.. or just because of all the chaos that has been going on.. maybe we just need to practice little random acts of kindness..

decisions decisions

well.. i have come to the decision, i need help..lol.. trying to decide what poems i want to put in the book. Any suggestions would be appreciated...
do you want to see older poems from when i first started writing or.... do you want to see the stuff that i have recently done...i need input.. so please give me some suggestions..

writing

i can remember the first poem i ever wrote.. was when i was 10 ... it was cute and funny for a little one.. i wrote it because we had just read louisa may alcott's little women.. so the teacher says whoever comes up with the best poem get's to read it over the intercom for morning announcements.. i was always in the shadows at school.. never really fit in with any group... so i wrote " there was a young girl named L.M.A. she wrote and she wrote all day.. she made some money for herself and her mommy and they all lived happy and gay"...  that was my start to writing.. actually had a few of the kids say it was pretty nice.. so i thought it was a good day for me.. i tried to write after that and nothing came to me.. til one day i got a wild hair to write about my crazy life.. entitled Might as Well Be Crazy... from then on.. i was hooked.. i found an escape for all that bothered me in life..  i hope you enjoy the writings that i will be putting out soon..maybe you can get a glimpse into my world..  with the help of Tabetha Jones and Phoenix Fire Publishing..
