This is me…I guess




This picture was taken a few years ago
when I was a bit younger
and thinner
and probably nicer too
don't know
I sure am a real outdoor countrygirl
can't imagine anymore
to live in a city
too many people
I think
I do like to fish on creeks and at sea
my husband declares me crazy
sitting there
staring at the water
waiting for a bite
he's right
but than
he doesn't know
the peace one gets
from staring
I'm breeding some very special sheep
am an inspector too
so I can separate the good and bad
at least I think I can
just shaved them
on a very hot day
hard work
What else…
I'm working full time basis on taxoffice
no it's not frustrating it's fun
thought to answer
your question
you sure ment to ask me
they always do
people
asking that question
working with some sixty men
got a bit hair on my theeth
you need that
as a girl
between sixty men
to get them
where you want them
need a lot of humor though
And there is my garden full of roses
used to get depressed
in Spring that is
all those weeds growing
beautiful weeds
but they always choose
the wrong place
to grow
There's a lot more of me
but I save it
for some other time
I'm a nice person
I think
not always mind you
my husband sometimes calls me
a streetfighter
he's right but then I can forgive too
Oh my, way to long this is
forgive me babbling to much
always do
love you guys (and girls of course)
at Passions
gives a new dimension
to my live
it does.
Thanks

Titia, that is one of the most real things I've ever read on the internet. You are honest and that is the highest compliment I will ever pay anyone. I envy your time reflecting on bodies of water with the limp fishing line as an excuse. Thank you.

The gift of sharing is a beautiful gift indeed, and sharing 'self' in an open, honest way, is the most beautiful gift of all.

Wonderfully, openly, warmly written and shared my friend...I bow deeply,  to you...

Thank you so much for all those lovely words.
I always thought that honesty was the best medicine, it always comes trough at the end.

Well Titia, it is very nice to meet you, and I love your life!  I share your love of just staring at the water, and I love fishing too!  Nothing better for the soul to be out there with nature.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for stopping by, I thought we shared so much time together it was time to let you peek behind the name.

Glad you enjoyed it.
