Happy Birthday to me!

Well I must say it’s been a different celebration for me for birthday greetings!

In the past, I’ve received emails, and of course e~cards.

This year, however, only TWO paper cards which were hand-delivered personally by the well wishers; one mailed card.

Lovely packaged hugs from sister and parents.

Really new to me were birthday notes from LinkedIn contacts.

Google even sent me “artwork”  of chocolates, cupcakes and candles!

That clinched it for me.

I’m in.

Confirmed.

I have officially crossed the technology finish line (only to start again with whatever is around the bend).

Times they are a-changin’ … gotta roll with it.

Yup, I’m dating myself here.

But then, I’m a fun date and I celebrate the whole month.

Cheers!

They aspire me but yet I envy them. To be able to write and awaken emotions, causing one to ponder, to cry, to laugh, to fear, or just to shake your head, if only I could have the skill with words to create poetry in motion like my favorites Maya Angelou, produce thought-provoking pieces like my poet laureate Langston Hughes, the ability to spark imagination like Stephen King, or have a whimsical style like Shel Silverstein, but I also enjoy: SylviaPlath, although at times her poems can be quiet depressing and Edna St. Vincent Millay, ee cummings,daring writing style, I dream of a voice like Nikki Giovanni,Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo…

Got angle?       check

Got hook?        check

Got ah – hah?   um…had it a minute ago. it was right here… surprise!

Got setting?     my desk.

Sometimes,

in searching to find my story,

it finds me.

Usually,

when I’m working on something else.

surprise.

(sigh)

Now what did I just do with that pen?

Ever happen to you?

Under revision : Stay tuned.

 

This title of this blog was for an earlier draft in response to  “ah hah moment” topic in a blogging U class.

As I began to redraft it and take suggestions in stride, the session ended and  I have concluded that any more of my attempts to recreate writing what was  a “surprise”  to me is like failed attempts to unring a bell.
