And there are those that we venture down or stumble down when
things go wrong or disappointments come or when
we meet someone who makes us feel....something.
The paths we take are ultimately our decision.
We cannot, should not blame someone else for those steps
that we alone took to get to here...to this place in our lives.
Thank those people who helped you.
Forgive those who discouraged you or denied you.
Love those who stood by you...and Forget those who said you couldn't do something. Maybe they were right, maybe not, but it was up to you to try,
if it was something you really wanted.
Carry with you your integrity and your true personal worth.
Take along your morals and ethics and keep them close to you.
Discard your fears and failures...but not all of them.
They will make you strong and careful.
Discard envy and hate...they will slow you down if not destroy you.
Journey through this life as best you can, without hurting anyone with betrayal or greed or vengence.
Keep honesty in your pocket and give it out freely.
Keep ridicule, gossip and criticism to yourself.
Give your smile to all you do and everyone you encounter.
They may need yours especially if their own is gone.
Laughter is contagious and it's good medicine...Share yours!
Life is Funny Sometimes...But I'm not Always Laughing!
PATHS 2002
I climbed telephone poles for MA BELL in my 20's. It was a great job and I was good at it! It was the late 70's and only a handful of women did that kind of work. We were pioneers in the 20th Century I suppose, though we were not thinking about that, at the time. We just wanted be outside and "fix things." (the pay wasn't too shabby either...for a woman) The picture above is an abstract of a sculpture I made a long time ago...out of telephone wire of course!

Little Glimpses into My Heart
KC - Kenny Connolley
MY ALL TIME...
Some days are better than others.
Sometimes you are with me all day.
And then I can go for days
without thinking about you.
But you are always with me,
in my heart.
I would give anything to see you again.
Just to taste your mouth and feel your arms around me for one moment.
Can a love from so long ago
still be so strong and forever?
Yes, I believe it can.
But I am stronger now,
and I know my limits.
If you asked me, I might want to go with you, but I would not.
Fifteen years ago maybe, but not today. Not anymore.
You are my all time weakness.
My all time treasure
and my all time love.
And you will be till the day I die.
(AKA James "Jimmy" Woodworth).
MORE THAN I MEANT TO
There are times when my thoughts of you are so intense I could burst.
It's during those times
that my weaknesses surface
and I long to see you, to hear your voice, to touch you...I feel like that now.
