Tennessee Humanities book fair
I took the trip to Nashville to visit the Tennessee Humanities book fair. The drive down was exhausting, rained the whole way down. It was an overcast all day Saturday when I went. The air was damp and cold, but the people were not.
I was pleasantly surprised. Even with lousy weather, many people ventured out to the middle of downtown Nashville.
I was glad I was one of them. It was very well organized and books of all kinds were there for any readers taste.
I will definitely go next year.

Beautiful Day - Time in a Bottle
What a beautiful day it was today! I love this short spell during fall, right before the first frost, when the days are crisp and cool. The weather today was like that - absolutely perfect, sunny, clear sky, moderately warm - just perfect!
It made me think of the Jim Croce song, "Time in a Bottle," a bittersweet lament about savoring the moments you have to share with someone you care about. This was one of those days where I wish I could save it in a bottle, so I could take it out sometime and enjoy it again.
But time isn't like that. Once it is spent, it is gone. I piddled away this beautiful day working indoors on something that probably won't mean a flip to anyone in a couple months - including me. I did manage to take a break from that for a little while to share some of the beautiful day with the loved ones around me.
I know for every person that enjoys a beautiful day, someone else is not having a good day. Things go wrong, and sometimes everything and everyone around you seems to be conspiring to make you end up hating life during that awful time. For some people it seems like no day is a good day. So it is especially wonderful when a perfect day comes along, a day so simply beautiful when nothing bad happens in your little world, it makes you want to rejoice and wish the time could last and last.
But we all know it won't last, so no matter what you are doing, always take a little time each day to enjoy the day, enjoy the company of someone you care about, enjoy life. Because once it's gone, it's gone.

Not fitting in
I have spent my whole life moving from one place to another. Even as a child we moved every couple of months. There were always new places to explore and new friends to make. I loved it, up to now. But now I have come to rest at a place I never thought I would end up in, an uncaring and unfriendly town.
This is a place where I don't belong, a place where I am all alone. These people and their mistrusting ways have killed off a once outgoing personality; someone who never met a stranger no longer tries to be a friend. I no longer set myself up for rejection, I no longer try to make friends. I have learned to live among the unfriendly people in this town, I have become a loner.
But I have my own little refuge in the midst of the unfriendly, a place where I am welcome everyday. Three loving dogs greet me every morning here at Muddy Mutts Acres. In a place where I am unwanted I come home and create a better world, a world where the wrongs are righted and I fit in. The world I create when I write is the world where I belong.
