Who are Your Top Teachers?

Question of the day… Who are your top teachers?


Of my 50-some-odd-years, the very first that always comes to mind are my high-school teachers, Mr. Yee (horticulture and so much more), and Mr. Johnson (art). I thank them both for seeing so much more in me that I did.

My mother and father, of course. They were wonderful parents. Thanks Mom and Dad!

My three children. My, my, my… and I never wanted kids. Thanks gang.

As of the last couple years, Rich German, Beath Davis, Judith and Jim.

And most recently, Neale Donald Walsch, “Conversations with God.”

All my wonderful friends and relations (ex-husband included)… they’ve all been blessings. Thank you!

Even my little brother. Thanks Bro.

Plants and animals… and oh, so much/many more, but it would all be the stuff of a memoire (which I’ve written).

And thank you, Vishen, of FinerMinds for the question, and all your wisdom and teaching too!

So, tell me... who are your top teachers (so far)?

Peace

Funny How those Fingers Work… or not.

Well, it’s obvious I’m not gonna make the deadline for NaNoWriMo.

Sorry kiddies.

Nevertheless, I will continue to work on the book. I will say that I’m happy the challenge got me off to a great start.

Thank you very much.

Happy December, everyone!

Normal Isn’t Natural

Gee, why am I suddenly hearing Ethel Merman singing this… ?

Get out of your mind
And back in your senses.
Normal isn’t natural at all.


Get out of your mind
And into your senses.
Natural is nature’s normal call!


Do what you want
Be who you are
Scratch your own itch
Scale your own wall….

Find your own find
Be your own kind
Send out your pitch
Grab your own niche…


Get out of your mind
And into your senses.
Natural is nature’s normal call!


I’m probably stealing the tune from someone (sounds so Cole Porter-ish to me… but it’s my own words… (I’m pretty sure)!

Gee, I sang that to my Flip Video… I looked so old and scary… but it sounded good! Gotta fix the lighting… and wear my hat. Yes siree. That was fun!

Tomorrow will be a good day for that. Yep.. with the hat! Jazz hands and a cane would work too! Maybe Ksaldria would like to join in?

I’m sitting up super straight again… maybe I’m meant to be a lyricist…
A bard by any other name
Can sing as sweet… ?

Uh-hm.
Okay, I’m a Quizmo… we just don’t have serious moments when we can help it. We let those “normal” folk around us do it (be serious) for us… it’s called delegating.

Hey! Ksald, you and I can do a whole song and dance! That would be fun!! What cha think?

I have the coolest hat! (To be revealed!)

May the Fastest Fingers Finish First!

It’s officially been declared… WAR!

WORD WAR!

Ksaldria, (Travels Aboard the Blue Selkie) has declared a NaNoWriMo Word War with moi, Quixwrite Quizmo,  in order for us both to WIN the 2009 National Novel Writing Month challenge.

Of course she did this on purpose to slow me down as it’s taken me hours of wasted writing time figuring out how to wedge in the widgets at the left, and officially except the battle.

So, dear Ksaldria, may the fastest fingers finish first!

Touché!
