Symphony,
I believe it is the Island Reflections and that's perhaps because I deleted it and started over recently. The address is http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/islandreflections/
I'm glad you enjoy this blog. It's an attempt to keep me focused and writing. Here's hoping it helps you too Symph!

Joe,
I believe I sold it for $10.00 and it was approx. 650 words. 'Course I haven't been paid for it yet.
The funny thing is about a month ago, I emailed the editor and asked how it was that I had sent them the contract and the article and hadn't been paid. She apologized, promised to send me the check and said she hadn't received the contract, but they had printed the article because she then gave me the link as well.

Yes, I tend to think and observe a lot more than I used to.
Now I reflect on almost everything with a view to writing it down.

My experience was very different.
I never missed it in anyway. I think I remembered fleetingly from time to time that I used to write as a kid.

Mmm-w,
I wondered how I did without writing anything - except business correspondence - for so long.
