About Me
- sammie96
- I am entering the midlife term with my elderly mother in tow. I left my eastern hometown for a reason but all my brothers and my sister died before me so now I have mom. I put myself through nurse's training first as an LVN and then as an RN. I did this while being a single parent of a lovely, educated and kind daughter. I learned that there would be no one ther to kill spiders for me and that I had best learn to do it for myself. I can do plumbing but I hate it. I enjoy light electrical, painting, acid staining concrete and many other home improvement projects. I am also a really good cook. My friend Pat gave me the best compliment, she said "sometimes you must get disappointed when you go to a restaurant".

In writing, we talk about the active voice and passive voice. In life, we talk about the past and present and future.
The present can be amazingly active: She stroked the wood with a fine grit piece of sand paper until it felt like leather.
The present is frighteningly active: She is stroking, she strokes, gliding the paper along the grain of the wood.
The future, though, is always mired in auxilary helping verbs and the most powerful existential verb "to be." She will stroke, She will be stroking.
But the future always stays there, exactly how it is, unchanging.
I believe most in the present. The past can damage but it can make you stronger. The present is the only place that we have even an illusion of control. We can control only ourselves and our response to what is around us.
