MUDDY WATERS ...

Original Photography by Kristine MUDDY WATERS As I sat Thoughts of days gone by Have I made the wrong choice? Did I muddy the waters, and disrupt the natural flow Should I have been more patient Or was the timing right? Feeling lost I gathered my worry and continued on In hopes of a sign One that would be so bright, there would be no mistaking it Wanting more Or needing less A fine line That lingers in the air Slowing disappearing Until tomorrow The next day And the day after that Kristine Dubuque Ortega 06/26/2016

Throwback Thursday ...

THROWBACK THURSDAY  Who remembers this ad?  My Dad was a member all those years ago. I remember him saying, "Pick an album you like". A phrase that will never be uttered in any modern day household today. I remember my small finger following down the musicians and album titles to choose from, in my tenth year of life. Yes, I came across Eddie Rabbit's, I Love A Rainy Night (with the album titled with the same name). Perhaps this is where my Country Rock / Country Pop attraction began. I remember the excitement when a thin square box held the mailbox cover open. My Dad handed it to me saying, "This is yours". I remember going into the living room and setting up my Dad's compact record player. I flipped open the paddle locks, found an outlet for power, took off the cellophane and placed the vinyl down. Turned the power on and placed the needle to hear my music choice. When he began to sing I knew I had made a good choice. I am unsure why this momen...

April Love -- Day Thirty ...

Dear Kristine, I am writing to tell you it will be alright. Knowing you, better than anyone I have many hopes for you. Grow more confident in who you are.  Stay Strong. Breakdown when you need to. Stay true to yourself. You will blend in as an old soul in this modern world. Bend but never waver. Never lose faith. Believe in your way of thinking. Accept who you are. Move through this life with more ease. You have it in you. Dig deep and you will find it. Use the qualities you have been given. Know that you have come a long way. You have already found your passions, continue to work on them. Show the world the smile that gets you compliments, and laugh that is contagious. I think we need more of that. You will find your niche, give it time. You will never be without worry, but you will adapt better. You will always have a guardian angel through the difficult times. Your future looks bright, continue to be you - and you will get there!
