THANK YOU FOR YOUR FANTASTIC HELP!!!! :o) xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
~
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE HERE ~ YOU ARE ALL A PART OF THIS!!!!!
In 2 short months I have realised I could be a good writer because you all like my words and are caring enough to leave me some of your own in compliments and encouragement. Even those who haven’t have contributed with their influence and their styles and standards challenging me to perfect my own.
I know it’s a small step but it is a very important step!
From this I could get to publish my own book of poetry and I hope I can include artworks from my friends here who’s art inspires me so much.
From this my family might just understand my messing about on the PC is not just frivolous self entertainment! … that my scribbling is actually valuable!
From this I can see the day I pay them all back for all the years of hand outs.
From this I can relax the fretting and the self doubt and I can be proud to say “I’m a writer”
So to all of you and especially Jerry I thank you with all my heart. My life has independent meaning now. I am no longer the mother of 5, the ex of 3, the poor relation.
And I thank my fiancé Michael who is Proud of me! :o) Finally I’ve done good!
The sun is shining in on me
The warmth of her dispels the chill in my aching fingers
I feel the day will be grand
the work I need to do will be accomplished with ease
and my time alone will slip by
I’m glad the sun shines on everyone
For I wish she’ll spread my happiness around in her warm rays
and everyone can have a good day with me
Keep happy everyone! :o)
Your grateful friend alyssa xoxox

THE GIRL IS GONNA HAVE HER WRITING IN A BOOK, AND I’M DANCING HERE WITH HER IN MY MIND, HAVING ALL THE ANGELS DANCING WITH US GIRL!!!
So proud of you Alyssa; it was all there, is all there; all you needed was a little confidence. As you mentioned, from here there are steps to be taken, so we will be there for the moment when you tell us you have your own book!
adgray in reply to liesbeth’s comment, 6 months ago
OH my sweet lord Liesbeth I’m still dancing with the dogs lol
and you were inspirational in getting it polished for me and getting me to offer it to him! see what great friends do :o)
and when I not only have my own book but sell my best selling saga and do my world tour I’ll expect you to hang out with me when I’m over there lololol :o) Julie, Sal and I are gonna paint London red! and Lianne and I will do over New York!!! :o) lolol
hmmm nice dreams lol

liesbeth, 6 months ago
Well then my friend when you arive here, we are gonna paint Amsterdam Pink, almost wanted to say Orange ( stands for creativity) but that is would be too obvious because orange is allways used on special occasions here. Let me know when i have to order the paint will you?!!!
adgray in reply to hilarydougill’s comment, 6 months ago
Thank you so much Hilary!!
Will you come party with me when I finally blitz the world on my best seller tour??? :o)
I know! I know! One poem in someone else’s book does not a best selling author make! lol but it’s fun to dream!!! :o)
And after 40 years of never been taken seriously as a writer – I ain’t coming back to earth for 40 hours!!! lol :o)
hilarydougill, 6 months ago
I will party with you willingly. You will make it. hugs
adgray in reply to liesbeth’s comment, 6 months ago
PINK?? lol why not lime green? :o) hahahaha I would have said red but isn’t that normal for there? [red-light districts here are where the establishments have no sexual & substance morals and Ive been told there are places there where sex is on window display – is that true???]
Have no doubt at all I might kidnap you and drag you round Europe with me too! You and Sal :o) lol
It is fun to dream! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we can actually do it? :o)
liesbeth, 6 months ago
Ok green it is. Red is ‘normal’ in Amsterdam..not in this small town i live in.
Is it true what they say about Amsterdam?? You should find out for yourself, i’ve never ever been in the red-light districts myself so i can’t judge about it. No morals you say?
Maybe there’s a good thing about it too, because what could all happen if these places weren’t free to visit??
Thinking about Saleire,you and me dragging round Europe, that would be just great!!
Keep it in mind, i do too.
adgray in reply to liesbeth’s comment, 6 months ago
Right you’re on! When I sign up the world tour it will be on condition that I drag you and Sal about Europe and UK with me! lol hmmm I wonder if I can drag you about the Americas, Africa, Asia and finally Australia too?? – well why not? In for a penny in for a pound so they say! lol Massive Road Trip! lol :o)
liesbeth, 6 months ago
May dreams come true!
