Guest Editor Picks 5/2/2008

Wow, to be
a Guest Editor! How cool is that?

 

My Name is
Angie Peyton, my journal is called: Peytons
Water
 

 

 


 

I'm a 34
year old small business & mother of 3 wild little
boys.  I have been married nearly 12 years in October and live
in Dayton Ohio.

 

I find
life interesting, like a twist of life, like a leaf blowing in the
wind.  My birth mother (Yes, I am adopted)
once referred to me like this; A single Red
Rose growing in the middle of field of wildflowers, unbeknownst to how
it got there, yet thriving and flourishing all the
same.

 

I live my
life with the full knowledge that tomorrow is a gift, not a
guarantee.  I don't wait for happiness to find me, I go get
it.  I teach my boys the same.  I enjoy spending
times outdoors and taking my boys to new places in the Ohio
area.  We are not home much because there is so much to see
and do and I enjoy sharing our adventures and triumphs with those in
Jland I call
friends.

 

As a Guest
Editor I have been asked to highlight 5 journals.  
For me this was a challenge to find journals that are new to me, and
hopefullyare not well known and bombed with a zillion
comments.  What a search it was! I have never been awarded a
gold star for my attention span, so in order for me to find these was a
bigger task then I thought! So without further ado, here we
go:

 


Chuck is a
retired school teacher and wounded WWII Vet. He lives in a retirement
and defies age.  I should call him a robot man because he has
a wooden leg, glass eye, stints and crowns and artificial hip!  What
you will find in his journal is funny to the point postings, what you
don't find is whining. He is an
inspiration to me and I really enjoy male
writers.

 

When
Life gives you lemons
~
....make limeade:). She has
a 14 year old son and her husband is from
Vietnam.  She baby sits at home.  I like
that through her entries she is a tell it like it is and someone you
probably don't want to be on a bad side, she may just leave you a
Duran!

 


I have
told Michelle over and over that I think she and I are cut from the
same cloth.  She is a single mom of 3 boys and has the humor
to make it through days that would have people jumping off cliffs. She
is honest, fun to read and tells it like it is. I have read stories of
her happening that have had me fall off my chair
laughing!

 

It is what it
is
~ 

Phil is better
known as Thrill Phil or Phil Thrill! Either way I think having a male
blogger is a breath of fresh air and
I find his entries lighthearted and funny most the time.  If
your any Nascar type of
fan, this blog is for
YOU!

 

Struggling
with my Life
~

Christine is someone that is new to
me in the world of Journals. However I have enjoyed reading her
blog because she seems to really
open up in her blog
She lives in the country and is going through many things in her life
right now and could really use some uplifting friends to stop by and
say hello, I do hope you will visit!
