Shaggy - Strength Of A Woman

I am going to tell you all a story. It is not pretty. I went through a clumsy period in my life where ever time I went to the store I happened to knock over a display case.

I believe I had an inner ear infection and my equilibrium was off ...bad.

Well the aisle was really small when I knocked over the Ice Mountain Water display...I felt my face go bright red. And I know this is terrible but I just kept walking.

This super shopper appeared out of nowhere. You know the type. Real hyper vigilant..Must correct everyone every minute of the day type.

"Excuse me mam, did you just knock over that water display?" Super shopper says.

"No Sir I did not.." I said indignantly. I know I shouldn't have lied...But I was already embarrassed before super shopper accosted me.

"Mam, Super shopper says earnestly , I know I saw you knock that water display over"..

"Sir, are you the water Nazi? " I calmly say and look deep into his terribly worried eyes.


He then turned red.

"Now please let me find the clerk to tell him I actually saw you knock over that water." I had just decided to be onry at that moment..


"I did not knock over that water and you know it!" He said incensed.



"Yeah, I whispered but they don't know that." And I smiled my most wickedly delicious smile I reserve for punks like him..


He fairly ran out of that store. And I went about my shopping in peace.

Bent - Sing Me

I feel so lucky today.. I have Elizabeth's computer for 2 more weeks...Only in the evening though. So that is why I have not been able to get back to you all individually. But I am going to work on that tonight...

I also feel lucky because I saw beautiful mums at the park this week..Shades of deep red blood and pinks so pink they stole my breath away..I was Exalted by their colors..The pink inspired me so much I painted my toes the same color, and drew in my moleskin book, pink mums and pink Zenia's.

The rain was falling on me softly...And I clicked away with my camera..Not caring, that I had on the silliest coat with fur around the collar..And flip flops.

Sometimes we must excuse ourselves from the tremendous grief and pain that we experience in our lives and just create..Because, truly that is what saves us..Right Colette ?.You more than anyone have taught me this.

I have hope.....Love Nita

This Is Me Now....

I have lost 52 more pounds in the last year. Bringing my total loss to 110 pounds . I feel better about life. This has been one really good thing that has happened to me.


I gave you the other news first...The sad news Now some good news. . I got re-married in July of this year. He is a cowboy. And an engineer. He rode in rodeos and was in the Navy for 14 years and the army for 4 years. But the finances have got us down. He moved to my town this past year. We grew up together. He contacted me out of the blue. I wouldn't even talk to him for 2 months because I had resolved to stay alone the rest of my life. I was dying though because I was mourning myself to death over the love affair I had had. He gave me hope and love. I thank him for that..So much.

My husband's name is Jim.. The picture above is him......I will post more tomorrow.

The song below is wonderful and the scenery in the video is stunning...please listen if you would like...love Nita the incredible over comer...smiling softly

Adele - Someone like you (OFFICIAL VIDEO LYRICS) HD Live from Brit Award...

for you....all

I am alive...Barely

I have closed myself off when I have needed to reach out to my friends. I have been lost the last 3 years and 7 months. So lost.

I guess when John died half of me died too..There where bad times in our marriage. I won't lie. But 23 years with someone is a long time..You never realize how long till they are gone.

Donna I have thought of you every single day. And Patty, Dawn, Nina, Whitey, and Robin and all of you..Wanted to reach out but couldn't.

I am reaching out now. I have been working on ideas and creating again. Had an affair with a man I loved totally...But did not work out.. And I lost my job 5 months ago... My car got repossessed and my lights and gas got turned off and I am staying with my Mom till I get on my feet. Do I feel like a failure? No. I just feel determined to get my life back together again.

So if any of you out there still love me and think of me...Please contact me..I will respond to you promptly...Smiling softly and sadly

Love Nita
