Last day of February!

I'm gearing up to write everyday for the month of March.  I am taking the challenge to write a slice of life.  I'll connect to this site: 
http://twowritingteachers.wordpress.com/. I'll be back on this evening.  I need to go. I'm exercising with a friend!
I'm back! Just had the chance to skype with my daughter and grandson!  It was so much fun!  He is so energetic and talked to us while he was playing.  He is putting sentences together and singing.  I could watch him all evening but it was time for them to go! Of course I do have to work too.
Tomorrow is our first day of our proficiency testing so I want to be prepared so i plan to read my examiner's manual so I'll have to stop for today.  Have a great evening!

Sink or swim could mean the same to many people and to others different meanings. How profound!

Try going back to school with students who are approximately twenty years younger than you.  Talk about a challenge. Now there's one!   Boy, was I enthused!  They breathed life right back into me.  Most of them were very insightful and I learned to get right in with them. To cut a long story short, they would call me and I called them, and we made it through. The toughest part was creative writing.   I hadn't written in years.  No one had actually taught me to write.  The professor then wasn't teaching me either.  It was "sink or swim"

March 1, 2012 Was I blown in?

As I lay in my bed yesterday,  I could hear the wind. It made me think about what I know about the wind. I can see it, I can hear it, it can touch me, but I can't touch it! There's, the cold blustery wind in Winter, The warm Summer breeze that goes by The casual breeze that carries the smoke from the fires of leaves burning in the Fall. Those are the “fun” winds. The damaging winds of tornadoes, tsunamis, and hurricanes can hurt property and people. Hopefully we won't have that this year. A little abrupt but I need to stop.  Happy Slicing! :o)
