If You Plant Corn You Don't Get Greenbeans

Happy Sunday..........
Today I am enjoying a slow morning on the back porch, sitting in my swing, drinking a lovely cup of coffee....Last night it rained and everything this morn is fresh and vibrant............I am enjoying the beauty of the fresh breeze, birds chirping, my flowers having an overnight growth spurt and one thing not so much, a squirrel............I am sorry for you animal lovers but, a squirrel just reminds me of a rat or a mouse, in fact I say they are cousins for sure...........I think it is just pure DA to think they are sweet, just big mice with fluffy tails...........All this talk about nature brings to mind a philosophy I would like to share with you. This parable supports the idea of you reap what you sew..........Ok here goes............You have a healthy seed, you plant the seed into solid rich soil, you water the seed daily and watch anxiously for its growth. Shortly you begin to see a small color of green poking thru the ground, ahhhhhh at last it is making its grand appearance..........The plant grows feverishly and soon you see it growing vines and wrapping around the sticks and stones near by.............soon you will have fresh green beans to enjoy from your homegrown garden...........NO SORRY DA........you don't plant corn and get green beans on a vine, you get corn growing on a stalk...........Take it as you will for you own life, but remember we all reap what we sew, so I am going along with my old neighbor who just reminded me of this yesterday.........I am planting seeds of love, for those are the seeds I want to grow in my life......................Have a great ending to your weekend and enjoy the day without thinking it is the last day off until Monday.........Tootles

Hide and Seek

Good Evening My Friend's............

The DAS attacks us so slyly, we become victims to it and do not even know that it has happened to us...........We fail to be thankful for our blessings............We fail to remember all the mountains we have conquered and climbed in our lives...........We fail to stop and just smell the flowers along the way...........For me today that flower was a beautiful little dark haired girl, about the age of 17 months..........I played hide and seek with her and the beauty of her laughter and smile was one of the best things in life I could hope to experience...........Yes today the DAS visited me and said you had no real fun in your life today, the DAS sneaking up on me and telling me a lie..........Tootles

Hello My Blogging Friends.............
Well, let me start with I had a "AH HA" moment considering my DAS blog..........I was thinking in my "own" brilliant mind, that I had to write a humorous site every time I blogged and because I was not feeling humorous I hesitated to blog...........That was a Dumb "A" thought...............This is my blog, a place where I can write what I choose............A place where I am not critiqued for my writing skills, it does not matter, it is simply my place to vent.............to chat, to giggle or to be serious at...........I had two people pass over to the other side this past week that I was acquaintances with.............One of the individuals was a spouse of an x-co-worker.......... which I have not stayed in touch with because I did not want people to judge or know my life from my past employment.............That is fine and understandable, people are "GLADYS CRABBITS", I know I did not pronounce or spell that last name correct, but it is how I remember that characters name in my own easter bunny, peter pan mind..........Gladys was the nosy neighbor in the old TV show entitled Bewitched, which aired when I was a child..........So in light of that you can understand why Glady's last name is a little off, that was YEAR'S ago...........So anyway, it does not matter for it my blog......ahhhhhhhhhh soooooooooo happppppppy about that issue...........Back to my x-co-worker, I feel sad today that I did not stay in touch with her via email........she was retired and I could have explained my feelings to her about the gossip and nosy issue, it was not her that I feared gossiping, but those whom she may still stay in touch with from our past job........That is sad for she most likly could have used my words of encouragement thru her spouses illness, it was DAS at work allowing me to make a lesser decision.............The other individual who passed on over to the other side, was an acquaintance that was included in a group that I occasionally sang karaoke with back about a year or so ago..........I saw this individual in a store a few weeks ago and dodged him thru the ales of the store, I just did not want to converse.........Too bad for me today that I did not siege that opportunity, I did not know it would be the last time I would ever see him again on this earth............Yes, sometimes the DAS has sad woes to tell..........Tootles

Day 2 of DAS reports

Hi, how was your weekend? Mine, well I loved Friday night because that meant no rushing out the door Sat. morn and having the opportunity to sit on the porch swing and enjoy a nice rich cup of Colombian coffee with flavored creamer...........It was lovely and I enjoyed, but then comes Sat. night and I am trying to hang out with the next door gang on the back patio and enjoy a few adult cocktails and some good vegetarian food. The gang next door are of a much younger generation then myself and I am a early to bed kind of gal, much to the opposite of them. So what do I do, I'll tell you what I did, I demonstrated the DA Syndrome...........yes I did.........I decided the best thing I could do would be give up the adult beverages and drink a nice hot cup of Colombian coffee, as matter of fact I had two. Well, needless to say the coffee did its job well, I stayed up to 11:30 pm and the rest of the night as well. Oh my gosh, I tossed, I turned, I slept for winks and dreamed nightmares, I experienced hot burn which could not be altered by water, ice cream or forced burps............Yep the DAS alright...........I hope tonight will be better, perhaps the country music awards will sing me to sleep............fa, la, la, la..........alright then see you around..........tootles...........

Hello My Friend's...........
Today is my first blog for the Dumb "A" Syndrome...........I am assuming you all know what the letter "A" stands for, if not just think for a minute and it will come to you........We are going to have a very interesting journey as I tell you stories about all the Dumb "A" people I have encountered, along with all the Dumb "A" experiences I have logged in along the way............Trust me when I say there have been plenty and I am willing to bet you will have "Ah Ha" moments when you read them. Some of the biggest DA experiences I have encountered are due to one large resistance area in my life that I have battled for years, CHANGE.............Can you imagine in your wildest dreams resisting change, I mean for real, life is nothing but change...........I wanted all things to stay on that nice consistent, even keel, you know with no rock your boat stuff going on............Ah noooooooooo........... DA Syndrome in action there for sure.............But be at rest my dear friends I have at last figured out that "CHANGE" is inevitable...........Oh for crying in the bucket thank God for that one........
Now men are the top ranking source of DAS material in my life.............I hate it, no for real I do, I really wish this was not the case, but it is what it is, so onward we go..........It started for me very young, I believed in that Easter Bunny and Peter Pan crap that love is the answer to all your dreams in life............I mean have you ever in all your life, I know, I know, but I did non the less, yes I was a believer............It has taken numerous divorces, I might at well confess, but then look at Elizabeth Taylor she is proud of hers, so why should I be any different right??????????? He,he, ha, ha..........Sorry I was having a moment there..........Stay tune for many DA Syndrome stories, reports and eye witness views, I promise you will be enlightened and entertained along the way........Until then tootles..............
