Trip, much?

What is the funniest thing that has happened to you?

Gosh, there are so many things which have happened to me that I laugh about now. I walk into many walls, trip on nothing, and overall wonder at times why I bother moving. Most days I am great and fine, but I have my moments.

The first one that comes to mind is perhaps when I tripped on my own feet in a Blockbuster. I was wearing these shoes that had a really thick sole to them. I was walking tall and proud all by myself. I was feeling pretty good about myself that day, in fact.

I went to return a movie and check a new one out. You'd think that a fairly easy thing to accomplish, but not for me. Oh no, no, no. One must always trip on her own feet. Though I didn't. Not entirely.

I walked into the Blockbuster store and didn't pay attention to where I was walking. I didn't notice that the rug was turned up enough at the corner to stick my boot in. I was paying attention to the area in front of me, not under me.

My foot caught and I stumbled a few steps.

Lady grace, I am ... er ... not so much.

The cashier glanced over at me and was quick to apologize, but I waved him off. I mean come on, I know they are to take blame, but I took it completely. They were my feet, attached to my body.

I worked so hard not to crack up the entire time in the store after that. I did smirk to myself quite a bit, however. Most entertaining was when I went to check out and we both acted like NOTHING had happened. I did smile to myself at that while I stood there, though. I later thought, why didn't you just say it?

"That was pretty funny though, right?"

Ladies and Gentlemen….

Normally, right about now, I would feel inclined to continue with “and children of all ages” (guess I’ve been to the circus just one time too many) but this time instead of introducing some dancing bears or the Flying Wallendas, I’m simply here to introduce myself. My name is Tracie Dee . I’ve been writing for about 4 years now and got my start blogging on MySpace. I love writing but these days, I’m also finding enjoyment with vlogging. I have found that videos are a nice way to share what words alone might not give justice to and also for people to really get to know the person behind the words and the keyboard. Overall, I consider myself to be a pretty down to earth and upbeat person, whose sense of humor can be a bit wacky at times. Hey, life can be rough and sometimes laughter and levity can be our only saving grace to help us get through it all. I consider it to be our very own little light at the end of the tunnel that serves to remind us that even during the very worst

Bucket Lists

"Its never too late to be what you might have been" – George Eliot I’ve been a late bloomer in pretty much every aspect of my life. Some of it was out of my control (I mean I really couldn’t help if Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor and exercised it heavily on me during my teens and twenties) but I can’t put all of the blame for it on her, either. Some of it was also by my personal choice. And by that, I mean I used to be very shy and afraid of “what was out there” in the big, scary world so I would rarely try anything new or took any chances of any kind. I chose instead to do my best to hide away from life, tucking myself away from it safely like a tight little rosebud that had not yet bloomed. But there is a quote that says “And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This was the case for me. As time went on, my rosebud shell grew more and more uncomfortable for me. So one day I just took a c
