JOURNEY to America

Amazingly Mother managed to glide through every task with the ease of a ballerina as she hides her sweat, graciously dancing her way through the entire performance. Traveling with 5 kids under the age of twelve did not deter Mother for a second, she did not hesitate nor did she ask for help. As always it was handled with ease and strength almost unheard of in the entire state of Israel. Without incident Mother managed to keep us all under control, happy and well provided. I of course demanded... Sign in to see full entry.

CRUISING THE CARIBBEAN

My First cruise is declared a total success. I have been contemplating a cruise and wondering who and what kind of cruise I would like to take. Somehow, the right one was presented to me when I received an invitation to join a Writers Cruise. How can I say no to that? Not only did I get to experience my first cruise, but also meet with a group of writers, and publishers. I took the bait, and I am glad to report that it was the most amazing vacation I ever took. We stopped in Jamaica, where the... Sign in to see full entry.

Journey; The departure

In the journey called life we travel blindly into one pothole than a mountain and beyond. If we knew what lay behind each hill we may make our decisions accordingly or we may ignore the information…. Both ways, the journey is inevitable, and my journey to a far away land was at hand….. The stranger that was Mother’s husband was suddenly the center of her life. He stood in in the way of everything I wanted to do, sat at our table, spoke a bunch of nonsense, and spoke non stop blab bla bla…. To my... Sign in to see full entry.

THE END OF THE JOURNEY

Is Today!!!............. This is the final page in the book of a journey that brought me here, back into the world of the sane, because I am finally free to be serene. I have completed the full cycle, that was once home. I am ready to begin and grow my new family that will be filled with the quest for the new journey that fills my soul. I am not sure I can do it, but I know I must try. Up until today, I have been torn between two worlds, and belonging to none. Thus, I am left all alone. The... Sign in to see full entry.

FORGIVE

And forget? I don’t think so…….. Forgiveness is the secret to happiness in life. Without forgiveness life is a misery. But, forget? Why forget the evil that people do, if it causes a lifetime of agony. I have learned that once I defined to myself what forgiveness means I was able to forgive, but never forget. The key to a fulfilled life lies in the way we handle injustice. If we are graceful and forgiving we never get weighed down by the hate inflicted upon those who can’t forgive. How I view...

Why He Married Mother

How The Step Came into Our life. In a far away land of the ugly, lived a cruel man Shmuel Zevel was his name. He grew up alone in the wilds of the snow, and somehow landed married not alone in the New Land of Hope. He had, but one wish of his young bride in the land of the hope, and the wish she could not fulfill. Her stomach swelled with child, 10 or 12 times a stillborn or very sick infant was all she can bring forth. And in the end of the decade she had only a painful history of dead and...

Before The Journey

A deep restless wind overcame my soul and sleep eluded me completely. I was disturbed and upset, but couldn’t explain my fear. It was a rare occasion that I was going to bed and mother was not sitting on the sewing machine right next to me. Instead, grandma was there and she was pacing what little space was left when all the beds were pulled out and everyone went to sleep. “Your mother has been a strong woman to be able to care so well for her children by herself and under such stressful...

INTERMISSION ll

Nautikos asked me an extremely profound question on my last blog, and I answered it to the best of my ability, but I was NOT satisfied with my answer, and was troubled by it all day. I had a very adventurous dream that night, that was like the movie Raiders of the Los Ark, I went to the train, I missed the train, I had to climb a long latter to get the next train etc etc,… one of those troubled dreams that you fight to get somewhere all night, but you never even get out the door. I woke up at... Sign in to see full entry.

INTERMISSION

Courage series completed, and Journey series about to begin. But before I continue I would like to take a small break. I feel so strongly about these very important issues. I hope that people understand soon that the situation is not only a local Israeli dilemma because it affects us in the United States and the entire world today. I certainly did not post it for pity, nor did I ever feel that I deserved pity. I never felt that my life was any worse than anyone else, just because I lived in a... Sign in to see full entry.

JERUSALEM

Tzippy There are no explanations for the situations you write of, or it seems, no solutions to the problems because the world is incapable of doing what is necessary. I don't think the president of the U.S.A. is part of the problem. My people were from Ireland but that doesn't mean I believe in the IRA or even Catholicism as my father did. I am me and Mr. Obama is him. We are not our father's. posted by WileyJohn on May 12, 2010 at 11:35 AM | link to this | reply | WileyJohn: I totally disagree... Sign in to see full entry.
