An Afterthought

Blogging Friends.... Well, I was up past 2AM, working on little miss "Secretive Writing Project", nothing but a can of Sprite in my system!! Because, apparently. My creative "Brain Juices" can reemerge during the wee early hours of morning, transforming me into some nighttime fantasy character!! Because last night. I. Was. Alert!! It was two freakin' o'clock in the morning, and, not only was I writing, my brain literally working at one-hundred miles-per hour, but--get this!!--I'd also Googled certain subjects!! For research!! All the while as this little thing called "sanity" told me that I was supposed to be sleeping!! But I could not turn my Brain Juices off!! I guess this is the price you pay for being a "creative" individual....?

Afterthought. I replied Molly the Wally's comment earlier this morning. I thought that both comments should be posted on Beautifully Unique.

Molly: Wow your project is nearly complete and we too wonder what next?

Me: Do you mind yet another Robert Downey Jr. reference? I hope not, because here it comes!! The other day, I was talking to my {Very smart for his age!!} nine-year old cousin about "Iron Man 3", whether or not RDJ will ever return as Tony Stark and how once RDJ was recently quoted as saying something to this effect: "People are continuously asking me what are your next plans? Here's the thing. I haven't any. And I've always been like that.". He is "in the moment". A good way to live, I told my cousin. Because, really? Whose Plans do my future hold, anyway? God's!! For the first time in so many years, I see that now....

I still haven't a clue as to what I'm going to do with myself when this "Secretive Writing Project" is complete. But God does, so an opportunity shall arise!!

Happy Wednesday!!

Thank-you for the comment!!
Yes, trusting in God is very, very, very important!! And yet. He is continuously reminding me that everything in this life--whatever plans I may have had--were not mine!! But His. It is truly a dosage of humility for me during such moments!! --I-- am not in control. And, I had yet another dosage of humility just this morning. When Rose needed outside at 6AM. But I had plans to write. {I actually hit the sacks before midnight yesterday!! Surprise, surprise!!}. Hee, hee, hee.... ;-D
When am I going to get it?! ;op; March 28, 2013 at 6:47 AM

"It's A... Terrible Privilege"

{Taken from "The Avengers"}
Tony Stark: You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart.
[Stark points at the mini-arc reactor in his chest]
Tony Stark: This stops it. This little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just armor. It's a... terrible privilege.
Bruce Banner: But you can control it.
Tony Stark: Because I learned how.
Bruce Banner: It's different.
[Banner tries to read the computer screen, but Stark slides the data aside with his finger so the two can see face-to-face]
Tony Stark: Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you.
Bruce Banner: So you're saying that the Hulk... the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Save it for... what?
Tony Stark: I guess we'll find out.
[Banner and Stark get back to work at their respective computers]
Bruce Banner: You might not enjoy that.
Tony Stark: You just might.

Raelyn:

I am a 31-year old American woman. I was born with multiple birth defects. Craniosynostosis. {I did not have any soft spots.} Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. {I had a hole in my diaphragm.} And Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. {I had an irregular, rapid heartbeat.} All three birth defects have been surgically repaired!! I live with "developmental delays". Learning disabilities, if you will. Such as--unfortunately--premature short-term memory loss. Oh, and I have attention deficit disorder, as well!! I do not like to evade such an issue as my learning disabilities. No. It hurts sometimes to be different. I was also diagnosed with a condition called folliculitis decalvans. {I am more than likely going to lose my hair, go bald, and unveil twain Frankenstein-like surgically-created craniosynostosis scars. Permanently.} But God is gradually teaching me that we are all, as my phrase goes, Beautifully Unique!!
