Learning to catch Lightning

I am alive & aged to where I consider myself in possession of a patina. It has been polished, by rising to challenges & meeting them head on. I have dents, scars & a crooked demeanor.

I am somewhat over educated for my daily requirements & undereducated for my queries.

I marvel at words & their texture.

I am a female in form but not so much in most of my actions or beliefs.

I believe that the meek inherit the crap & my life's motto is Adapt, improvise, overcome and if all else fails - walk it off. Some days living my motto is my greatest challenge.

I make a home with my best friend & grand passion of 35 years and 1 dog, 2 cats, cabinets of curiosities & long saved plants. All of my kids have 4 legs and fur and animals are my favorite people. I talk to my compatriots and they respond - we do not have a language barrier. No, they are not human, they are evolved.

I have read voraciously.

I try to sin on a regular basis.

I love daily, although some might doubt it.

I have never been lost & I always know where the 4 corners of the earth are sitting - some days I just don't care.

I abhor inaccuracy, lack of logic & stupidity.

I have forgotten much - I have to assume it was not worth remembering.

I have never quit - but many times wondered why.

I embrace my dark side & I do not live my life believing that your fairy tale is a forgone conclusion.

I question most people's beliefs & reasoning & wish they would too. I believe everyone is weird - some are just more interesting than others.

I hug both trees and firearms.

I do not particularly care for summer - except for gardening. I do not like clear blue skies or heat. I embrace fog, rainy days & snow.

I love history, mystery, fantasy & questions.

I have few regrets - many secrets & am easily bored.

I have never seen a ghost but not for lack of trying.

I wish I had taken a more crooked path, flaunted in my youth, lived more wildly & been less careful.

I consistently start new things & am quite sad to see utter accomplishment as it marks the end to doing a thing. Once done well, there is nothing more to do.

I am a Lyme disease survivor and thought the wee beasties fought a hearty battle their days are numbered and I feel surrender in their cries.

I never start at the beginning but always stop at the end.
