About me - T.L. Winters

I've changed my "About Me" because I think I am a different person now. I'm still disgustinly deep but I am so much more relaxed. I am 53 now, just having had a birthday, and I find that I am looking forward to getting older. I like what I see in the mirror

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Where is your happiest place on earth: 1 of 29

Where is my happiest place on earth? That actually takes some thinking. My first thought was to picture a place where I am the most happy. But then I wasn't sure if that really is a place...or if it is a state of mind. There are times when I am so happy to be in a particular place but the pressures of daily responsibility st...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Kids say the darndest things!: 3 of 29

When I was dating my boyfriend (now husband)he had a little sister that was about 13 years old. She was the cutest kid and very naive. When her grandmother died I was concerned about how Susie would take the passing, and how she would handle the funeral. This was to be her first. She didn't speak of the funeral but I could s...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Life after death: 11 of 60

It was a cold winter morning as I drove up the mountain on my daily trek to work. The local ski area was just getting started as I maneuvered around the traffic. The cars were all fighting for a place to park and the buses were trying to fit into designated space. Going slower than I usually do because of the pedestrian cros...
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: You're having a bad day when: 16 of 82

You know you're going to have a bad day when it starts out while you are still dreaming. Just before the alarm clock goes off and startles you into the waking nightmare that will be today. I shared a very small bedroom with my two sisters. Some of you may recall my fear of one sister and her desired ability to spin her head ...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: If you could have a one-hour interview with any human being past or present, who would it be?: 40 of 188

If I could have one hour, uninterrupted, I would want to talk to my real father. I heard that he died in July of 1978 but I've found no proof of that. I hope its true, then I would never have to worry about him showing up again. But I would like some questions answered. My father started his sexual abuse when I was 5 years o...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Looking in the mirror: 40 of 188

My vision starts to focus as I notice what I see. The face staring back looks remarkably like me. The hair is just the same and the nose is crooked too. They eyes, set wide apart are the same color blue. The skin is slightly tanned from days out in the sun. And the lips made for kissing make a smile when kissings done. I hea...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: The top 10 things you want to do in your life: 38 of 152

Hmmm...the top ten things that I want to do in my life. I think I would like to do the things I dream about. I would like to fix broken things, buy new things, and change people's minds. I would like to experience whatever I wanted without worrying about other people's opinions. I would like to serve up "some of your own med...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: What I would do if I had no responsibilities for a year: 9 of 33

If I had no responsibilities for a year...I would go out of my mind! Responsibilities are things that you are RESPONSIBLE for. So if I wasn't responsible for ANYTHING...lets see... The idea or possibility of NOT being responsible for anything leads one to believe that you could also chose the impossible things that you were ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dreams: 164 of 591

Just before I fall asleep I dream of being held by arms I've never felt. For a split second in time I am lifted to the chest of strong, calm safety. I grasp the feeling, holding tight to make it last forever, but sadly, the peace escapes. Each day I get a moment that reminds me of the absence of the ease I've never had. I wa...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: What to say to the world in your 15 minutes of fame: 29 of 104

I can't hardly imagine myself in front of the world, but for my final 15 minutes, and if anyone cared, I would like to keep a promise. I would like to pass a message. Unsure about myself because I've always been, but determined once and for all, I would like to tell EVERYONE...there is a GOD. I know this to be true and if I ...
