Got No Title for This One

 

Page 24 of 366. As I have already warned everyone, today is going to be a difficult day, with very mixed emotions...

Today, I would like to honour my Uncle Keith, today is his birthday. He would have turned 85 today, so I am giving him a huge HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY UNCLE KEITH. It really is hard to believe how quickly time has passed. But just know, I am keeping my promise to you...

What some of you don't know, my uncle was one of my biggest cheerleaders and motivators behind my writing. He read everything I have ever written, until his passing, but I had made a vow to him. I say "vow" because we all seem to recognize that "promises" are meant to be broken... or whatever this fkd up world believes, because I am still one of the few that feel, if you don't have your word, you have nothing... Your word is your honour, at least in my opinion.

Basically, my Uncle Keith was someone who constantly encouraged me to follow my dreams, no matter what. He never held judgment on me, nor anyone in his life. He was a man of very few words, and would only get assertive if it was absolutely necessary. He was a very respectful and respected man, and I was and continue to feel honoured and blessed that he was very much a part of my life.

The vow I made to him, was I would write those books I had always wanted to write. I did write one book, but am choosing not to publish it because that one is a very personal one to me. I have started writing my second book, one that I fully intend to publish and obviously dedicate it to him and my Aunt Dity, who literally passed away 8 days ago.

I take comfort that they are reunited in spirit and no longer suffering in any way. Rest in Paradise... as you always reminded me "knees to the breeze and rubber side down." One day, when I get back on the bike, I will have to say that outloud, also saying "This ride's for you!" Soar high my sweet Angels, catch ya on the flip side!!

Lovies, please Stay safe. Stay warm. Be well. Be blessed.

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

Tis the Season.... Why I Am Proud of Local Tattoo Shop!!!

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
