Hello from New Brunswick, Canada Options

[Guest_Ellen_*]

Hi! I'm Ellen from the east coast of Canada. Well at least that is where I have lived most of my adult life, but I was born and raised in Ontario. Writing has always been my passion and therapy for as long as I can remember. Even as a small child I tended to think in rhyme, so I lean toward rhyming poetry, but also write an occasional short stories. At one time I wished I had more time to write. Now, since an impaired driver put me in a wheelchair, I have lots of time to write, but not always the ability to sit or type much since my hands were badly broken and a more aggressive arthritis has set in. I hope you will get a chance to check out my poem "LUCKY???" Perhaps writing it is one of the reasons I am still alive against all odds. I wrote for therapy and hope it will make some people stop to think before they go out to drink.

Reading is great but I can't always type a comment at the time I first read something. Hopefully I will remember to go back to comment when my hands are more tolerable. So, please be patient with me if I seem slow at doing things around here. I look forward to getting to know the folks here.

Hello Wally,

Nice to meet you. You must be the Wally Steve mentioned in his comments on my poem, "Lucky???", re most, but not all,of my injuries etc. Thanks for the lovely welcome. It is nice to know I am among friends who can understand both my pain and my need to write. I am very glad Annie led me here. Looking forward to getting to know you all.
