thoughts on why i write

i am not, shall we say, the most eloquent of speakers.  but i do have a large storage tank full of thoughts. they run the gamut all the way from trivial (my shoes look pretty today) to profound (if money weren't an issue, i would spend all my time helping those less fortunate than me) the problem being that i have issues with verbalizing my thoughts. somehow on the little highway between my brain and my mouth things get all muddled & confused.....yet these very same thoughts while traveling on a different & longer path from my brain to my fingertips seem to not find any detours or roadblocks on their journey and come out making quite a bit of sense (even if the sense is NONSENSE! ;) tee hee)

i was quite excited today to discover that i have FOUR ACTUAL FOLLOWERS....four people who truly are curious to know what profound (or inane) thought will next spring from my fingertips!!!!!

suffice it to say that today being thursday, i don't have a whole lot on my mind.......but i wanted to take the time to thank you, yes YOU!!!! for perusing my thoughts and when you feel compelled adding your 2cents to the comments!!! you are AWESOME! :)

i would love to know if there is anyone else out there in cyberspace that knows i exist but just hasn't taken a moment to join club-judianne.........hello? anyone? are you out there?

i guess that's all i wanted to say right now.....stay tuned, i may become profound later today :)

RubberBands

i wear rubberbands on my wrist.
my mother wore rubberbands on her wrist
my grandmother wore rubberbands on her wrist


mom & grandma wore the old style red rubberbands that came on newspapers. they wore them to remind them to do specific things or be in certain places at certain times.....

i wear the NEW rubberbands....these ones are wider and stronger and more colorful than the old fashioned kind..... these ALSO have words, slogans or sayings imprinted on them.....i have many different colors blue green purple day-glo ...and many different sayings 'PRINCESS' 'LUCK O'THE IRISH' 'THE ROAD AND THE RADIO'

but i have two very special bands.....
one is white (glow-in-the-dark) and it says PAY IT FORWARD
the other is yellow and it says LIVE STRONG

i wear one in memory of each of my parents.

my mother's life philosophy was to do good deeds for others and expect nothing in return, and especially if someone shows you a kindness ~ pass it along and show someone else a kindness too....PAY IT FORWARD

my father lived strong he was the solid foundation that we built our family on. he never complained. he lost his battle to cancer last december. LIVE STRONG is the Lance Armstrong Cancer Foundation
