My Daily Blog

This is the start of my daily blog.

Sun.Oct.2/16

I've had numerous things happen in my life that would make most people lay down and die.  I was however never one to just give up.

When I had a serious head on collision, the woman who hit me died instantly. She was younger and had four small kids. Although I have a permantly lower back injury, at least I am still alive.
My breast cancer came rather quickly and they took half my breast off, I didn't let it get to me. I have always been strong so I fought on. Chemo and radiation was very hard to take, and I would  never wish it on even my worst enemy.

I had several relationships since I divorced but none were the one, as they say. I find that for most of the time, I enjoy my own company the best. I can go where I want, and do what I want. But, I do admit that at times I do get lonely. I have not been able to find anyone. Someone my age has a very hard time finding anyone, and then, where do you find them.

I have always loved to write stories, and have taken a few writing cources. I have a degree for Freelance writing but my love is writing short stories fiction romance. I have written several, that I was told would make fantastic TV movies. So now I am turning my stories into movie scripts. Oh my goodness, this is not easy. It was easier just writing the story itself. I now have the greatest admiration for scriptwriters, but I really would love to become a good one myself, so I am doing it.
The hardest thing will be to find a producer or director who will read my script and instantly fall in love with it. Then hopefully I will see my story as a TV movie. Well gotta go, need some cream for my coffee and then need to get back to my scriptwriting. Talk later.   MJB

Are Antiques Really Dead

                                         Are Antiques Really Dead

What has happened to all the antique lovers of the world. It seems to me that people have let antiques die, and that's a shame. Antiques tell the story of our past, and I have loved them most my life.
My aunt in Germany had a antique store and, from the first time I set foot in her shop, I was hooked on antiques.
They have such character, and are the masterpieces of the architectural craftsmen of the world. The modern version of homes of today, to me leave me cold. There's no character to chrome and stainless steel and staunch white walls.
Rooms no longer have the special add-ons that make them stand out, as crown moldings or build in cabinets,
that give the room character and distinction. Some effort has been made to combine modern with old charm, and to be quite honest, it doesn't work for me, it still makes me shiver.
I have seen so many antique shops close up and it makes me want to cry. I fear that all the beautiful hand crafted furniture might well become firewood.
 I pray that doesn't happen, and I keep my fingers crossed.  

Getting Older Really Sucks

I'm 57 years old, and can't find a job. I'm alone with no one to share my life with. I've had breast cancer and 3 operations for a work related incident, none of these worked and I have pain everyday.

Now after 6 years of not having any kind of real job, I am without my own place to live, the things I have left are being stored with someone and my vehicle could die any day on me.
Do you know, I actually had one employer tell me to my face, that I was too old for the position.

All in all, my life sucks. The only consolation in all this is, I'm not alone. I know that there must be other people in my age group, that have the same problems.

I wish I could talk to others that are in the same position, maybe together we could help each other out.

THE 4 NO NO'S

When someone makes fun of you,
you get upset at them.

When someone lies to you,
you get mad at them.

When someone hurts you,
you get angry at them.

But, when someone fools around on you,
you forget all about them.

Because you know, you don't need them.

FINDING OLD FRIENDS

Recently, I came across a site called Classmates.com, I posted my profile and to my great surprise found several of my old school friends. I was so happy to find them again after over 35 years. Two, I was very close with. But, with time, work, marriage, and so on, we lost touch.
Now however, we talk on Facebook, emails, or on the phone, and it's great. We all plan on getting together in the summer and go to Wasaga Beach. Nothing better than three or four middle aged woman letting loose on a beach.
We all seemed to have some form of personal stress in our lives, whether personal, or a loved ones health. So after all these years we still have alot in common.
I enjoyed our relationship in school so many years ago, and now will totally enjoy being together with them again to continue our relationships.
Whether we realize it or not, we need our friends, without them life would seem meaningless.
