About Me

Ok it is time to update this, lol.   I have said this before (Sept. 21, 2021) Boy has time flown by.

It is now July 2026.  I have not been blogging obviously.  Life has a funny way of going by and things get put aside without meaning to.  So I am going to try again!

“I am 77 years young.   My heart and soul swear to it, my body screams liar and if and when I find my mind, IF I remember, I will ask it.     And I believe you “gotta laugh out loud!”

I have written since childhood.  It was my escape world.   I had my first poem published at 17.   I love writing poetry and short stories.   I have had several poems published and placed 42nd in the top 100 for a contest in Writer’s Digest for Inspirational Short Story and am working on and editing several of books at this time.   I am more of a free-style writer.  I have had no formal training.  I write from my heart but I am trying out new styles that I am learning about.  I go by the name writingwildly because that is usually what I do.

I believe that writing can release tension, pain, and emotions that need to be set free.   By writing them out you can express your true feelings about your deepest secrets. It will relieve some of the burden of carrying it all around inside of you.   Sometimes it even helps to tear up the writing and throw it away along with the thoughts.

I love, love, love music and so you will see it incorporated in here at times.  Music is the best medicine.   I use it for pain, for fun, for exercise, when I am happy or sad or mad, it doesn’t matter it helps in all situations for me.  It is perfect to spur on my writing.

I believe you must have laughter in your life always.  It is a matter of life and health.   And you GOTTA LAUGH OUT LOUD!  I try to make lemonade from lemons as much as I can.   I believe the smile changes the way we think for the better as we are doing it.  And I believe there can never be too much kindness!

I love life and adore the country, trees, rivers, mountains, lakes, wildlife and fresh air.  I love the ocean also but being in the country seems to bring out the best in me. I find I write a lot about the country. I love to dig in the dirt so I play at being a gardener. But even my garden is made with my imagination gone wild.  I have five antique claw foot bathtubs for my vegetables and such.    It looks wonderful and what a great way to recycle, and it is a lot easier on the back and to weed.  But really bathtubs??!!! lol!

I have been with my best friend for 59 years and married to him for 57 years.  Boy we have had some adventures!   Together we learned and grown and created a wonderful family of our own.  I have two wonderful sons who are good loving men and two great daughters in laws, and 4 of the most amazing grandkids that fill my life with joy and laughter and my family fills me up with love and pride. I have grown and learned so much from them.   I Thank God for this gift every day.    “I have an attitude of Gratitude”    I have worked hard all my life.  I have a strong work ethic and earned my wrinkles and grey hair and I am happy with that.  This is what makes me who I am.

“I am a work in progress and boy do I need work!” (This has not changed, lol!) (A quote that I like but don’t know who wrote it!!)  But they must have known me, lol!

When it comes to aging well this is my Birthday song!!

Happy Happy Birthday
Is what we say,
Do we take the time to celebrate the day?
Think about the alternative if it didn’t come.
Celebrate the fact that it is and have some fun.
