: About Me

When I took a course in writing short stories for children I found that I enjoyed working with words. None of the stories were published and I do not have access to them due to a major computer melt-down (a very old computer). Since taking the course I have submitted several poems to 'poetry.com' and have had them accepted.
While I was going to Devry Institute of Technology in Alberta I was a faculty assistant for several subjects, but liked the English class the most. I found it very interesting that there is no "one way is the right way". There are as many ways of making a sentence grammatically correct as there are people.
I spent the last 38 years in several different fields of employment. These include: nursing, waitressing, cooking, and laborer. Due to medical problems and injuries due to an accident I am unable to do the above mentioned jobs.
I have posted at http://kayceejay.blogspot.com/. I have left a few comments at http://www.mylot.com/JMCarebear. I decided to set up my own webpage with GeoCities. You will probably learn more about me than you want to athttp://www.geocities.com/rjscreations/ great_outdoors.html. I look forward to hearing from you.

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Can you be mentally healthy and overweight

4 of 4

I have often wondered why there was an epidemic of obesity in North America. I can not help but think it's because of the need for a two parent income. One day I was on a bus across from a mother and her three children. The little girl was about 6 or 7 years of age and had the rolls on her legs and arms of a small chubby baby. It is hard for me to determine the weight of people and children are harder still. I do know one thing - this girl was badly overweight. The boy was about 4 years old and although he was overweight he wasn't obese. Then I looked at the fussing baby in the stroller. T...
