I'm a 50 year old mother of five and grandmother of seven. I am wonderfully and completely in love and have been for over ten years. I KNOW THAT I AM TRULY BLESSED. I used to write poetry every single day and back then I had plenty of dark lost painful places to write from. When life started getting better I somehow convinced myself that without misery I had nothing to write from so I gave it up for about 12 years only the coaxing of my lover and best friend caused me to pick up paper and pencil ( yes that's right I prefer to write old school) only after I perfect it on paper do I enter it online. I plan on trying to write for at least ten minutes a day and I hope I still at least have a little creativity and that I will get better with practice. i find it intriguing when looking for inspiration to finally be able to feel the words coming from a happy place.
