Welcome to all Freaks!

Now instead of talking to myself and writing in my journals, I'm going to spill everything into my blog and see if I find the whole thing amusing. If so, I might continue for awhile though sustainability is not my strong suit.

May you find something of remote interest to make your visit worthwhile.

I should point out that I live in Cranston, Rhode Island. If you are clueless about the significance you will be delighted to know that Quahog, the thriving metropolis that is the setting for Family Guy, is based on this perverse place.

And speaking of Quahog, see my friend Peter Armitage's pix below.

About Me

My photo
Queen of The Playground
The Queen is a malcontent but she is also a seeker and afficionado of altered states. She can be dark but she can also be so blindingly light that she appears to be a hologram or perhaps a hallucination. The Queen is seduced by beauty and repulsed by intentional mediocrity. Note: the Queen of the Playground that has a page on MYSpace is not this queen and she doesn't rep my playground.

HITS COUNTER


Feeling morose? Disconnected? Disaffected? Anxious? Angry? Bored? Peeved?

Here is my humble suggestion: When you find yourself in an unpleasant state, start telling yourself all of the things you are grateful for.

You can write it down, you can recite it silently to yourself anywhere, any time OR you can sing it. Possibly embroider your list on your bathrobe or yoga pants. How about making some placemats out of recycled plastic bags and having your dinner guests make their own lists using a nice metallic sharpie?

Here is my list for today:

I am grateful that woke up to another warm day.

I am super (odd choice of word) grateful that I had a nice Macoun apple from the Farmer's Mkt to add to my shredded wheat & bran cereal.

I am grateful that I had music to listen to when I was doing my morning thing. Today it was Enigma.

I'm grateful for the song of the mocking bird that greeted me when I parked my car at my office.

I am grateful I had a cozy bed to sleep in, a roof over my head, and clothes to wear (that were already ironed!) to work.

I am grateful for the fabulous smoothie made from sheep's milk that my friends Molly & Beth brought down from the sheep farm in Maine for me.

And it's only 10:15 am!
