My new year begins and I am ever so grateful that I have ended a preoccupation with the bottle and infatuation. Vowel Town is a new project that is keeping me focused on moving forward. I have always wanted to master the science of teaching first graders how to decode our complicated system of letters and word making. Imagine learning a new language with 26 symbols of sound, but not always do the letters make the same sound. Sometimes a letter will combine with another letter to make a new sound. Also, a letter will change its sound because another letter is next to it. Consider the word cycle. Why does the c make the k sound and the s sound? It's all because of the y. There are so many rules to the English language and exceptions to the rule. Therefore, I have set out to see if I can possibly devise an App (Application) to help our little ones master the mystery of our language. Let's see if I can start a new beginning.

Not blogging (one coming today--grin!)...but lurking, I see you are still "with us", and I am glad. For me also today, no bottle, but that other troubles me a lot.
I believe it a fear of not being loved (by everybody--HA!) and that fear springs from Pride. Pride that I have not the faith that God will love me No Matter What.
With your "new" attitude, you can give SO MUCH back, just let god guide you through the wilderness of life, and TRUST God.
Bless you, Wave-Rider.....
