BRENDA COBB MURPHY

For a writer, the pleasure is not only in writing but in having others read what you write. So this portion of my website is not only for your pleasure and entertainment but for mine. :) I love to put my thoughts down on paper, honing them until I am saying exactly what I want to say. It not only helps me sort out what I think, believe, and feel, but it brings the pure pleasure of writing, whether on paper or my laptop. I love typing along at the speed of light, but there is also something in the clean crispness of a blank sheet of paper and writing with a wonderful pen.

So here are different thoughts and ramblings I've had over time, and you can browse at your leisure. Some thoughts are light and fun, others are deeper and more thought-provoking. Some have led me to rethink myself and what I believe, others make me laugh out loud just rereading them. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I've enjoyed writing them.

The Bracelet Dream

The following two journal entries were written during a period of time when Terry had been laid off and we were living with our two teens over a business on Main Street, Georgetown, Kentucky. Main Street has been fixed up beautifully with old-fashioned lamp posts and antique shops, and our two rooms had the Victorian romance of having high ceilings and tall windows overlooking the street, but two rooms full of four people and a dog can get pretty cramped. Time alone was a treasure to be savored.  Knowing this will give you context for why I couldn't escape the dog. :)
