I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I READ:
The other night feeling at a loose end.
I sat down and read the above book.
Yes! it was one of my own,
So thought I would take a look.
I couldn't believe how positive I was,
Was that me that had written these verses?
With what have occurred over the past ten months,
How many times have I been guilty of curses.
Well I finished the book,
And without a shadow of a doubt.
Felt so uplifted that I must say.
I put my coat on and went out.
I couldn't believe how positive I'd once been,
But life changes that I do know.
I must take my own advice more in the future,
And once again experience that "Inner Glow".
Have any of you ever read your own work?
If so please tell me do.
Am I the only "Insane One" on the blog.
I'm asking this question to you.

Yes, take your own advice and be positive again.
ReplyDeleteI reread my first book when my publisher had me do some additional edits, but I haven't read any of the others once they were published.
It's hard but can only try. Thank you Alex for coming by.

no insanity. It's good to reflect, read the "past" you and consider the "future" you and where you are now. I've done it. It's like looking at an old photo album. Makes you smile.
ReplyDeleteVery wise words Joanne. Thank you.

That's good you read an "old" book of yours Yvonne. I'm sure you probably won't ever be that positive again considering what you have been through but you might get a little of it back over time. Its nice to know where you have been and where you might want to be down the road.

It has certainly taken a big chunk of my heart away, but have to look forward.

Reading our own words can put things into perspective for us.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right Chrys, thank you.
DeleteYvonne.
Very cool that the old you could inspire you today. Keep the positive feeling going.
ReplyDeleteI certainly will try Susan. Thank you.
DeleteYvonne.
I'm glad you got some positivity from your early works.
ReplyDeleteI agree its always a surprise to reread our work.
Many thanks Sandra, was was greatly surprised how my writing came over to me.
DeleteYvonne.
That is so cool to get advice from your past self. Once in a blue moon I will read old blog posts of mine and crack myself up. I didn't know I was that funny and weird. It gives me a warm feeling in my tummy.
ReplyDeleteRandomly found your blog through IWSG.
Many thanks for coming by, also thanks for leaving a great comment.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated.
Yvonne
My hope is that you will get your positive attitude fully back! I've been rereading parts of my old journals. Definitely a mixed venture, and definitely not literature! LOL Take care!
ReplyDeleteIt was strange reading what I had written years ago. Thanks for your comment Fundy Blue.

What a wonderful awakening to have read how positive you were in the book you wrote. And it has helped you see the light. I'd say that is a wonderful book to help you every day. I may have to try reading one of my books sometimes. Thanks for the wonderful news.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beverly for your kind words.
