Losing Myself



i’m losing myself

i hate when that happens


…swallowed by a vast teaming ocean

of which my innocent-looking desktop computer

is the portal

once i enter this sea

i am jostled about

in a little boat

(disguised as a mouse)

this ocean has many waves

which carry me to many shores

some of which are so inviting



but the waves can be powerful

and it’s easy to get lost

and forget where i am

sometimes i get seasick

and long to be on dry land again.

do you ever feel this way??

  1. Hi Patty! Every time I see some of your beautiful ocean photos..my heart turns over! Gorgeous!

    And thanks for popping over earlier. I was so happy to hear your good news about hospice. I just knew you would enrich the lives of those you touch there! And it's only the beginning of your journey. Please continue to update me regarding your newest experiences there. I have a true interest.

    When I arrived here today, I took a stroll through some of your previous postings. Your site has quickly become one of my favorites. BTW..I'd sure like to take a dip in some of that crystal clear water in these photos..Middle Georgia has had temps in the high-90's for the past three days. Enough already.

    those photos are beautiful- i just returned from the oregon coast and if it weren't so sunny, your pics would remind me of that!

  4. Oh I know just how you are feeling Miss Patty! Do not dispair - sometimes when we feel lost, 'stuff' is just bubbling up in side us ... and then suddenly 'voila' --- a new idea, or a creative moment - or an aha minuto! Your photos are mucho bueno!

    i have to sometimes go "unplugged" so i can get comfortable with "myself" again...i get WAAAAAY lost in all the enormity of talent that surrounds me and makes me feel small.
