In many ways we ponder this great Earth...

and we see so many things. Good things, bad things, sad things. Right now there is so much conflict in the world. Every country has something awful going on, some more than others.We get so caught up in the news reporting horrible offenses to the human spirit. I am often burdened with all that I hear and see that I fail to see the life around me. Life may not seem so great but it really is. It really is worth appreciating and it is time that we start appreciating all that we do have before we no longer have it. I hope everyone is having a great day and a great start to the week and don't forget, look around and smell the roses!

The Ride

Mark didn't let on that he was scared but the feeling of his stomach in his throat was a stiff reminder for him. He swallowed hard and clutched his hands. He could feel the sweat building up in his palms as he closed his eyes and tried to remain calm. He could feel a cool breeze whipping about his face but he was hot as a summer's eve. The wait was only a couple minutes but to Mark it seemed like an eternity. Butterflies were building in his stomach and his throat was tight, just then he heard the click. Click click click shhhhh. The ride was off! The coaster went down the first hill, took a loop and shot up a final hill. Mark screamed with excitement as the fear left his body and left only adrenaline. Then another click click click shhhhh and off they went but this time backwards. The frightened wait was worth it as he ran down the stairs to get in line for another coaster. Adrenaline pumping through his system and pulsing in his veins. Mark had found his new thrill out of a dreadful fright.

Jane Doe


What does that mean? I am laying here in the forest, my beloved forest, covered in dirt and leaves as police prod around me. They will take me to the county coroner, clean me up, perform an autopsy and look for me in missing persons. My parents will eventually be notified to come see me and identify me as Diane Hampton, their tall, blonde haired, blue eyed, slender daughter with every ambition in the world. For now I am just Jane Doe. It's kind of peaceful being here watching life revolve around me. There are lots of flashing lights and so much movement but I hear nothing, I feel nothing, I sense nothing but quiet silence. My last moments were horrible but where I was laid to rest is now morbidly beautiful. My body tells a tale of someone trying to destroy me but I fought back. The police will find my neighbors skin and blood under my nails. All the evidence is there and with time, my killer will be caught. Jane Doe. Never in my life have I been so anonymous. I was always popular and well liked but now I am just a body of a teenage girl. I remember life being so full of wondrous things. I could reach every height, all my goals could be accomplished, nothing was impossible until I was named Jane Doe. Everything is extremely clinical from where I lay now. The police aren't looking at a girl, they are looking at a scene. They'll go home and drink away what they saw today but me, I will sit here and ponder my Jane Doe status until I am properly laid to rest and find peace. I never thought life could be so short, so evil, I never thought everything could go so wrong but it did. I am Jane Doe and here I lay, murdered by my friendly neighbor, my favorite dress is torn to pieces but I am in the most beautiful forest. Diane Hampton is now dead and I am Jane Doe.
