Nailing Jello

A jumble sale of the many different areas of interest that define my life. You never know what you may find here, treasures or trash, but at least the price is right!

So, Here we are!

I love to write! I used to be the type of person that would write a 5 page letter about daily events, even when nothing was happening--and that was in the days when we wrote letters with a pen and paper! I was brimming with fresh outlook and creative ideas. I had to keep a notebook by the bed because my creative muse would wake me in the middle of the night prattling excitedly about a great story, invention, or just a good joke.

Unfortunately, over the past decade, I have become so wrapped up in a quest for survival that the muse was bound, gagged and tossed into the closet.

Well, I've decided to go get her, if she hasn't already gotten loose and wandered off somewhere, and set her free: and this blog will (hopefully) be her playground.

Since my daily life is now more uneventful than ever, I think that I will not usually be posting on what I am actually doing, I do that on Facebook. Instead, I hope to write articles, just little sprints for my muse, perhaps preparing her for a marathon some day. These articles may cover any topic of interest to me, so see my profile if you would like to know what those interests are.

Since my muse has spent years tied up in the closet of my mind, she may have some good suggestions as to how to organize the stuff in there, tidy it up and clear it out!

Thank you for visiting, I hope that you will find a bit of treasure in the jumble sale of my mental closet.

A day of new beginnings!


Have you ever had a ball of string that you simply could not find the end of? What an irritation! It is so tangled that you could spend the rest of your life trying to sort it out! Well, life can get that way some times, as mine has! I've made promises I couldn't keep, said things that I couldn't retract, made commitments I regretted and lost opportunities that I will never see again! The more I try to sort things up, the more I get bound up into the ball of string that I'm trying to get straightened out!

This morning I was looking through an old children's book and came across the story of Alexander the Great and the Gordian knot. Well, I guess it is time that I followed Alex's example and "cut the knot" instead of trying to untangle it. So, today is a day of new beginnings. Today I am closing down my advertising business, saying "no" to an ongoing volunteer position that I've no longer time for, cutting up my credit cards, starting a new writing course, and starting a new diet! The only way I could more thoroughly cut the knot would be to go into the witness protection program!

Well, I hate to cut this short, but I'd better get busy on my new ball of rope!
