Wow, you are a complex person Amethyst. It is interesting to learn things about other people, like for instance, I am only 7 years older than you. You wrote articles and did photography for your local paper? Did you enjoy it? Is it something you could do again, even on a part time basis? What other interests do you have? I love animals, I have 2 dogs and 4 cats. I birdwatch avidly. I'd like to learn photography but just never pursued it. I've tried drafting as a career. It was not social enough for me. I enjoy sailing. I'm a homebody, if given a choice. I wish I could do something to help you. I feel bad for you in your situation. Not pity, NEVER! But I know the hopes you had once not too long ago and I hate to see you not where you'd rather be. I know being stuck. I wish I could help, I'm a fixer at heart. I ponder things and try to come up with solutions to them. Gosh, I hope this doesn't sound stuck up. I just feel for you girl, that's all.
Thanks, Juules...
I loved that newspaper job, until my editor left. The new editor was straight out of college, and thought I shouldn't be writing because I didn't have a college degree - Especially since she always got complaints about her spelling, grammer and inacurate facts in her articles, and I only got compliments on mine... She had the publisher fire me, I think she must have sabotaged my bookwork to make me look bad. That bridge is pretty well burned. I would like to find somewhere online to write... I wrote a few articles for an online magazine once, can't even remember the website now... My monthly column was called "Hearth and Home", wrote about parenting and household topics. Didn't get paid, but it was fun.
I am concentrating on my painting right now, although I am currently out of money for canvases. I will come up with something...lol
I loved drafting in school... I have never been sailing, but would love to try some day.
The photography was fabulous. My first picture was a semi wreck, in 15 degree weather with 50 mile an hour winds... Cold! But I loved getting out there... It was exciting. I would love to have a really good digital camera to do my own photography. When I was in the city with Sir I saw so much I would have loved to take pictures of, not to mention the fabulous things right here in this county.
I love birdwatching, too... From my window, at least...lol
I have one very spoiled dog, 1/2 blue healer and 1/2 german sheppard, about 60-90 lbs. I love him like crazy. We also have my son's cat, a bit under a year old and queen of the house, and my daughter's outside beagle mix who is about 12 and a big puppy. I suppose I could have made a whole new blog intry with this, couldn't I? LOL
