How “My Juxtaposition” was born
Hello—Glad you stopped in, now pull up a chair, get comfortable, have a look around. Oh you want a cup of coffee, how would you like it? cream and sugar—no black—oh you must have worked a few midnight night shifts like I did. No coffee, how about tea? Oh you want some tequila—I’m sorry you need to visit my friend Walker, I heard a very nice friend who recently visited him brought him the best. He is a good guy and is known to share, by the way if you visit with him would you check and ask what happened to the the Red Clay Series he was writing and the Sex Talk Posts? Oh and since the weather is changing, the lemonade will return during the spring for those who might already be missing it. Are you comfortable yet? I hope so, the weather is nice, fall is in the air.
I think I have a little point to make here and I will get to it at some time—-oh I know it is about My Juxtaposition. I imagine a few of you might like to know just where this name came from and I thought before I got carried away I would share it with you.
My husband has a nack for “names” he has never shared his talent with me in the past—always with others. When it became obvious I would make some changes to things I said to him I thought it would be nice if he would share his little talent with me for a domain name.
One morning while we were having coffee he said something to me about the name Juxtaposition. I thought he said Justaposition—-we had a few laughs over things.
Not about to let Sweet Hubby know he really had me there, I said why Juxtaposition—-well he knew he had me. He reads me well. one look and he reads me. He was pretty quick to say go look it up. It is perfect for you—-you are always doing it with your life. Quickly I was off to check it out—Now don’t tell him, never mind, he is reading this, seldom is he wrong. Bingo! Right, again!

He was so right I am always comparing my life to before the Multiple Sclerosis and after the Multiple Sclerosis. Some days I think I have accepted it and deal with it and other days I know I have not and am full of anger. Yes it was a great name—-
It was not to be the domain Juxtaposition was taken but My Juxtaposition was not. It is more appropriate because this is my place, it is about my life, this is where I I strive to be true to myself and come to terms with the “before ” and the “after”begin to live in the present.
Now before I close there is one more little tid bit of information—Cara is an Irish Female name for friend and my ancestors are from Ireland.
Today, I’ll end with a quote from Dwight Moody “I have had more trouble with myself than with any other person I’ve met
On the other hand I need to think on that one because there have been a few people that have caused me trouble.
Thanks for spending time and sharing with me as we continue to experience life.
Later.
