The Commute



So, the Little Man is not ever quite awake when we leave for work in the morning and take him to daycare. My camera had just been emptied on to Flickr Saturday and emptied last night so I had to take some more on the drive to work this morning. Being that The Man Who Has My Heart drives till we get to the bus station, I am free to take picture, sleep, put on make-up, whatever I want... ;)































The house you see is one that is just off the main road we travel on that used to be surrounded by more trees. They have really fixed it up. They tore down a bunch of the trees to put in a major housing development behind and around it. I have always envisioned that this would be like the house that Bella lived in with her dad in Forks. It isn't the shot I was hoping for, but hey, when you are in traffic, you never know if it is going to be slow or fast pace.













The almost missed shot of the river is actually the middle of 3 that we cross on the Trestle. The only one that I actually know the name of the river is the Snohomish River. In this shot I was trying to catch the shot with the 1/2 sunk boat that is in the river that seems to have been left there as an scuba exploration thing, I guess. When the tide is out, you can see how deep in the mud part of the boat is. I will try again tomorrow to actually get the shot I want!.

Hi there! The 1/2 sunk boat was actually abandoned there about a year and a half ago. It's not put there with anybody's sanction ~ just the equivalent of a junker car left by the side of the road. It happens a lot, esp with wooden boats, as they become too expensive to fix very quickly if you don't maintain them. The county does clean them up from time to time, but I expect this one to be sitting there for a long time. Your other shot with the boats actually includes my usual moorage. We're in Seattle for a couple of months, but will be back there soon. I love the river in the mornings too! Warm regards, J

Waiting!

Some of my views and feelings expressed are due to having dealt with some very challenging relationships lately. Namely, having had 2 foster daughters for the past 3 years and having loved them and wanting so badly to make a positive difference in their lives.

After realizing that I have done all that I can do and admitting that it is time to "let them go", there is a measure of hurt and bitterness that I am working through. I need time to heal and to figure out how to deal with the feelings and emotions that I am left with.

Some of my posts are not going to be very uplifting and some will be down right uncomfortable to read. I recognize how difficult it is to be a part of peoples lives who struggle with depression. It is exhausting and not something that "refills ones cup."

My intentions in blogging are not to bring anyone down or suck them into my, sometimes depressing thoughts. I am not looking for a pity party or for people to suck dry.

For this new chapter in my life, I need to work on me and my family and strengthening who we are as individuals and a family unit. And most importantly, building our relationship with our Heavenly Father. I want to be a better person.

I hope that by being able to reflect on my feelings in blogging, I can heal and maybe somehow help someone else who has been through similar challenges/experiences to move forward and overcome their trials. I also recognize that in this, there may be others who have had experiences that can be shared with me to give me hope and encouragement. - I welcome your comments either way.

If you have not read any or some of the Twilight series books and have a desire to and don't want to spoil anything, you might want to use caution in reading some of my posts that look like they are related to my feelings on the books.

I don't intend to spoil any of that reading experience for anyone. It has been a wonderful fantasy world and escape for me - a HUGE blessing for me to be able to think on these fictional people so that I could function "through the motions" of my life.


FYI!

Squirty Wart is a nick name my father gave me when I was little. I always hated it. In looking to protect myself and family from online preditors, it has become a very convenient name for me to use and it has actually grown on me. ;)
