Abigail's Bike

I have decided to buy a bike. It’s a monumental decision. I’ve never really been a bike owner since I was six and my father bought me a beauty pink bike with tassels on the handles for my birthday. I can vividly remember being taught how to ride on a beautiful summer day.
At the end of that summer, I put my bike up and never again found the time to ride. My trusty old pink bike with a bell and passed on the next summer to my summer.
This summer I would like to again become a bike owner. One of the pleasures of riding a bike when I was a kid was turning my face up to the sun and being kissed by the sun’s rays. I rode my bike as fast as I could on the old dusty dirt road in front of our house. The sheer joy of riding my bike never fails to come to mind when I watch kids ride their bikes. This summer I hope to share in that same joy as I ride my bike to and fro.

Abigail Equals Peanut Butter and Jelly

I am a simple girl with taste though my taste lean to the exotic. One of my favorite simple things is a peanut butter sandwich. I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches; they always take me back to the days of my youth.
I remember my mothers, mother serving up homemade preserves with fresh pressed peanut butter from the time I was about 6 until she died when I was 13. Now as an adult I often indulge in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the nostalgic feeling I get each time I bit in to a sandwich.
When my kids were little I often served them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on the weekend minus the fresh preserves and homemade peanuts butter.  Life is full circle now. My kids I find indulge in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and reminisce about the days when they were little and I made them for them.

Love Abigail Style

Lately I have been thinking about Love. Maybe it’s because it’s been raining a lot lately and I love to hear the rain hit my roof as I am safely tucked away in bed. Maybe it’s because I am always in love with something or someone. Whatever the case, I got love on my mind.
Each and every time I think of love I think of the fact that it can move mountains, thaw cold hearts and soothe the soul.  Love is so many things to different people. Maybe that’s why I it’s on my mind so much lately.

For the Love Of Abigail

  Love and being in love are amazing feelings. I often wonder if I have crossed the line from love to just being in love with love.
I love unconditionally, for free and forever and always. My love has no limits and it endures great strife and tragedies.  My love has no bounds and it is a love that moves mountains, conquers empires and covers you to the ends of the earth.
Yeah, I am about that kind of love that means more than riches and gold or a vast fortune. My love is as priceless as arts and antiques. My love is what men have died for, cities have been built on, hopes and promises have lived on.
 I know what love is because I give it freely….Abigail

Abigail's Muse is Missing

  There is time when chasing the thing that you want more than breath is a bad idea. Needless to say it’s the bad ideas that are the hardest to walk away from.
Sitting at my desk yesterday I looked out my window and watched as a bird flew back and forth from my new birdhouse to a nest she’d made in a large oak tree. There was nothing spectacular about what the bird was doing something so simple as feeding her family. Like most birds I chase a dream of feeding my need to be a successful writer. But unlike the bird I can’t find a ready supply of success to feed my creative muse.
My muse is petrified of failure and she often hides while I sit and ponder where she is and why she want come out and write. So are the trials and tribulations of chasing a dream.

It's My Blog Anniversay

On April 5, 2013 I revampws my blog and made a commitment to blogging. It would take another year for me to be fully committed to making this blog work for me.

So, today I celebrate and throw confetti in the air.

The Day Dawns Alone

The day dawns with frost and fog
Blades of grass growing on my soul
Lonely is the heart that grows old and cold
Raptures love avoids a cold heart like the plague
Lonely old women face life with dread
Rise up heart with aflame love will never call your name
Tender is the mercy shown by love not
Sitting on a porch alone
The day dawns
