Out of the ashes of days and lives past... you LIVE! You THRIVE! :D

I am so HAPPY to see you!

HAIL OH MIGHTY ONE!:D

ELOQUENT CONVEYOR OF WISDOM!!!!!

YAY! I am thrilled you are HERE!!!!!!

:D Me, too! I've missed you terribly, S.!

SO MISSED YOU!
~phos

So where did you park the elephant?:D

~squeals~ OMG... two of my favorite people, Fos and Sally! Geez I feel the need to belly up to something and have a drink and shoot the shit. ~grins~ Or is that shoot someone I have bellied up to... I always get that confused. ~snickers~

And Fos... I don't know about the LIVE and THRIVE... most days it feels more like sputter and stall :eek: but what the heck ... such is life. I'm still holding onto the illusion I can kick ass and take names... well.... maybe I am more about poking with a sharp stick and leaving those notes with those little cut out letters from old issues of Field and Stream. ~ROFLMAO~ Getting old sure takes some of the lift out of the updrafts. :D I have been trying to catch up with what has been going on with people by reading threads.... girl... you look GOOD... and happiness is written ALL over you.

I have to tell you guys.... I saw the title of this thread and thought.... wow... how did my name end up in the thread index. ~rolls eyes~ Yah ... I'm a bit dusty, rusty, seems my brain is now equipped with a standby mode. Yet another of those things on which the universe and I hold a difference of opinion.

Sally... as for the ELOQUENT CONVEYOR OF WISDOM.... we both know that in my case .... the elephant has primary control over the rider. ~winks~ I am just trying to keep my seat and not end up looking more the fool then I already have to. But I will attempt to .... on occasion .... find some small bits of sense ... in this senseless and crazy wild world. ~note the elephant screaming I LIKE, I LIKE!~ I'll get back to you when I need you to help me make sense of my OWN world. Good thing you have unlimited free calling .... I couldn't afford the couch time with my shrink. :p

LOOK! It's a goddess in the avatar! And you say sputter and stall? Me think NOT. Do tell how things have been for you, please? :D

I've so missed the visualizations you convey with your words. ;)

Glad to see ya here, hon!

Hello...LOVE the name..I have a dog named Phoenix(so I must really like it)..and I used the name my first week here but went back to my old name:)

and what pretty red hair:) .....

Oh cool! ...a Phoenix on each arm!:D

Do tell how things have been for you, please? :D

The last couple of years have really been a test of who I believe I am and how I see myself fitting into the world, into my life and into my skin. It has been a time graced with fragments of crystal clear understanding, coupled with soul darkening, spirit crushing, can’t get out of bed defeats, failures and miscalculations.

Funny thing is … I don’t really think that makes me unusual. I know that in one way or another we are all struggling to be authentic in who we believe we are and where we hope we are going.

The thing is … I could sit here and rattle off all kinds of exterior reasons, issues with others, fate, time, circumstance, or what was in retrograde that caused me to be dropped smack dab into the life I am leading… or more to the point, whine about why nothing in my life is MY fault. ~laughing~ But the truth of the matter is … I am where I am because I got me here… and now, because I am who I am, I have to find the answers I seek … not just rely on the ever dependable, yet always in the end disappointing… autopilot.

So…..~winks~ … in answer to your question… I am still restless, questioning, striving ,reaching and remaining ever frustrated. ~smiles~ And in that … I find great comfort.

Hi Nefadda, a pleasure to meet you! ~smiles~

I love the name Phoenix too!. It reminds me that no matter what the universe throws my way ... even if I crash and burn I can always rise from the ashes anew... it's' just a bitch on the wardrobe. ~laughs~

As for the red hair... it looks just like the box it came out of. ROFLMAO I tend to change hair color as my mood changes ... god help me if my bipolar kicks in ... it could be green tomorrow. ~giggles~ But for now ... I thank you... I am enjoying being a firey red head.

I guess i should say HI too!
You better say hi! ~grins~ Great to see you! I can't believe I let myself fall off the face of the earth... so to speak. I really have missed so many people, and you are most certainly in that group Nessa. Sally told me about your success on your new eating program. I cannot tell you how much I admire your achievement! I look forward to watching you continue to succeed.

I have missed your wisdom .... not to mention your sharp tongue, or was that potty mouth. ROFLMAO You know me ... no sugar coating needed... well unless you are talking about chocolate .... then sugar coating is GOOD! ~grins~ I hope to catch up with you in more detail in the near future.

Welcome to MTaG.....it's very nice to have you here....
Your grace and wisdom will be wonderful for the site.....
