Poetry in the mix

I do like poetry and yet...I seldom take the time to sit down and take it in.

My friend recently told me about a wonderful compilation of poems entitled Good Poems 
She mentioned that she had found the collection on CD.  
*BLINK*   I got an inspiration!    What if I added the audio collection to my ipod and then set it to shuffle?

I did it.   It works perfectly.   I hear three or four tunes and then a nice poem  then some more music.   Since I keep my iPod docked in my sewing room (my ears don't enjoy having ear-buds stuffed into them) while I work, this new idea has really proven to be brilliant.  

The collection has four cd's and various readers.  To date there is only one reader who gets under my skin.   She over-enunciates and reads too slowly and has a very breathy style.   Fortunately she's reading some of the shortest pieces.   So...it's all good. 

Why not add some poetry to your life this next year?

Blessing to all of you for taking a few minutes to read my drivel.     Happy New Year!

Another one bites the dust

Wow. 2010 is just a few days away. When in too much of a hurry, I've been known to still write 1978 on my checks. Maybe I should practice. ha

My son is graduating High School in 2010.

My daughter will be a Junior Higher in 2010.

okay...I need to stop. I'm getting sidetracked from my original intention of coming here to post.

Christmas was lovely and we managed to get a white Christmas on a technicality (as my son decided). We didn't get snow. We got freezing fog. It is beautiful!



I'm considering making a resolution or two this year. It's not something I'm known for - resolutions. I think I could use one this year, though.

*sigh* How about another picture?


Lastly, let me wish you all a blessed New Year. I've watched some friends go through some very trying times these last few months and I pray the this next 12 months offers them some much needed respite.
