Generally I just write whatever pops out of this brain of mine, and right now not much is happening or interesting enough to even bother talking about!. I hate that, because I am in the mood to write, but my brain is not. Does that make sense or am I talking stupid again! I was reading some topics I could talk about but not in the mood for that! When I write, I very seldom write about the ways of the world! I like to write more about my world, my inner circle, even if it is not as big and as exciting as most others is! Its mine, all mine and no one can take it away from me. I mean no one! LOL See ya later, maybe something good will happen. Boy do I feel bi-polar right now! Yesterday supper bad mood and today, the world is my oyster!

This story is so touching and so true!
Cranky Old Man.....
What do you see nurses? . . .. . .What do you see?
What are you thinking .. . when you're looking at me?
A cranky old man, . . . . . .not very wise,
Uncertain of habit .. . . . . . . .. with faraway eyes?
Who dribbles his food .. . ... . . and makes no reply.
When you say in a loud voice . .'I do wish you'd try!'
Who seems not to notice . . .the things that you do.
And forever is losing . . . . . .. . . A sock or shoe?
Who, resisting or not . . . ... lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding . . . .The long day to fill?
Is that what you're thinking?. .Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse .you're not looking at me.
I'll tell you who I am . . . . .. As I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding, .. . . . as I eat at your will.
I'm a small child of Ten . .with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters .. . . .. . who love one another
A young boy of Sixteen . . . .. with wings on his feet
Dreaming that soon now . . .. . . a lover he'll meet.
A groom soon at Twenty . . . ..my heart gives a leap.
Remembering, the vows .. .. .that I promised to keep.
At Twenty-Five, now . . . . .I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide . . . And a secure happy home.
A man of Thirty . .. . . . . My young now grown fast,
Bound to each other . . .. With ties that should last.
At Forty, my young sons .. .have grown and are gone,
But my woman is beside me . . to see I don't mourn.
At Fifty, once more, .. ...Babies play 'round my knee,
Again, we know children . . . . My loved one and me.
Dark days are upon me . . . . My wife is now dead.
I look at the future ... . . . . I shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing .. . . young of their own.
And I think of the years . . . And the love that I've known.
I'm now an old man . . . . . . .. and nature is cruel.
It's jest to make old age . . . . . . . look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles .. .. . grace and vigour, depart.
There is now a stone . . . where I once had a heart.
But inside this old carcass . A young man still dwells,
And now and again . . . . . my battered heart swells
I remember the joys . . . . .. . I remember the pain.
And I'm loving and living . . . . . . . life over again.
I think of the years, all too few . . .. gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact . . . that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, people .. . . . .. . . open and see.
Not a cranky old man .
Look closer . . . . see .. .. . .. .... . ME
Hi to all , I was on face book and saw this write up , for those of you who have not seen it ,it is one of the most beautiful poems I ever read! It was written by a older gentleman in the Geriatric ward of a nursing home in a small Australian country town before his death! What a beautiful legacy to have left us all, after all we too will get old one day! Rest in peace dear sir whom ever you are and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reminding us that we all get older one day!

Longest week!
I have to say this is the longest week ever! I feel like I have been through the mill, (when to be honest I haven't, not buy a long shot) but the stress and heat is not working well in my favor! I just want it to be over already and the weekend be here! The weather is suppose to get a tad better, thank you lord! Surprise, other than what I talked about, today is a day I don't have much to say! Maybe I just am not in the mood to talk or even think a lot! Who knows, I am in a bad mood and can not seem to snap out of it! Home, I want my home, now right now! Later all, if anything happens that is good I will be back if not, see ya tomorrow!
Some people just get me?
I swear I am getting way to old for drama and associating myself with not nice people. I can not wait till I am starting a new road in my life without the drama and all the crap I deal with because I have to! Like I say life is way to short to deal with things that you do not need to deal with. I know this blog is not making much sense to most, its a read between the lines post and nothing more could be said, but I know what it means and I am the most important person right now. Its all about me! How I feel and how other people make ME feel! So tired of it really! Do people out there really like to make people feel like they are not worth much, I would have to say the answer is yes there is! I know some!
Out of the Clear!
Hey everyone, a new day has begun and I am so ready for it! Still waiting on whether my son got the part for the movie. He has his fingers cross and I think what ever other part of his body that could be crossed is LOL. Yesterday he brought up his friend again who just got killed in a car crash, it has made an impact on him and he still cannot believe that she is gone! So hard to handle for a young person. When he brings things up to me you know he needs to talk about it, kids at his age really sometimes do not want discuss much with their parents hardly ever! That's is fine by me, he can talk to me anytime he wants that's what moms are for. Gotta go for now, you all know I will be back!

I suprise myself!
I really do, I cannot believe I have so much nonsensical things to say. My thoughts and feeling just start coming out of me when writing. I just think to myself wow Fran if only you liked school and did not have ADD (which now I know in later years was probably what I had) you could have really have been somebody. I know I am somebody, I am me but just think if I really learned, I mean really learned how to use the big words and the right paragraphs and how to make a story, boy what would I be able to write down on paper with this crazy mind of mine if only I would have learned like I should have, I could write and express myself the right way! Now of course, I am a big stickler on telling the young to make sure you get a good education and learn. I wish I was told that enough times instead of staring out the class room window! I wish I would have just tried harder and just focused more, but it was not meant to be. I know another sad story, not really, you want to know why because I am right now doing what I always wanted to do and that is write what is in my head and let everyone know what I am feeling, no Pulitzer prize here I know but I am enjoying every minute of what I am capable of doing and that is letting my feelings out to all! Okay done for now until tomorrow and guess what 20min. to go and I am done!
