AND NOW A BIT MORE

That night, I could not sleep. Luna decided she did not want to be alone in the kitchen, so I moved her basket into the bedroom with me. In time I drifted off. I woke a short time later to find her curled up at the foot of the bed. I lay in silence, so many thoughts turning in my brain. I have only... Sign in to see full entry.

SARAJEVO'S RETURN

Sasha seems to have caught the expression on my face. His tone is sad when he asks, “Forgive me, Christy, but why did you come to Sarajevo? I know you have told us all that you are not sure why, but I think you do know. Was it to escape someone?” I answer his question by asking one of my own.... Sign in to see full entry.

A SMALL BIT FOR NOW

“Luna?” Sasha gives me a gentle look. “Where did you come up with such a beautiful name?” “In many cultures, Luna is the goddess of the moon. It was the only name I could think of that seems to suit her.” In the corner of the kitchen stands a large hand made wicker basket. Sasha was kind enough to... Sign in to see full entry.

THE STANDSTILL

I can feel it coming on again. I hate this feeling, but at the moment, there's not much I can do about it except to ride it out and hope that it leaves soon. I want to write, and I will, but I feel like all my creative juices have run dry. I'll go have a leaf through some of the things I've started... Sign in to see full entry.

ONE OF THOSE DAYS

Hi everyone... I hope you all had a very happy first day of spring yesterday. We still have tons of snow on the ground here, but spring is definitely in the air, so I say yay! It shouldn't be much longer before I'm finally able to leave the house and go to the cinema or out for a meal again.... Sign in to see full entry.

MORE PRAYERS NEEDED

Hi everyone... If I could, I need to ask for urgent prayers for the little boy of a friend of Tricia's. He's very ill and had to have a feeding tube inserted a couple of days ago because he's unable to eat. Doctors are unsure what's wrong with him. Please ask Jesus to heal this little boy...

A BOND IS FORGED

I stood up as slowly and carefully as I could, with Sasha’s help. Bless him. We’re complete strangers to one another, but he knew exactly when and how to help! Only when he felt I was steady enough did he release his grip on me. I moved cautiously, so I wouldn’t scare her off. I could hear her... Sign in to see full entry.

A BIT MORE

Ah, but my little girl is a clever one! She’s positioned herself so that I’m free to rub anywhere I wish-accept her leg. I won’t force her to allow it. I’m amazed she is even letting me touch her at all. The leg is tucked safely underneath her. Sasha has come down on the grass beside me and is... Sign in to see full entry.

RETURN TO SARAJEVO

Her name is Anna. She told me after we’d talked a while longer. She’s lived in Sarajevo her entire life, even during the war. When her bakery was forced to close, she fed people with bread baked in her own kitchen. I couldn’t find any wine for Ani and Sara, so instead I bought a dozen pink roses...

THE LION ROARS QUIETLY

I'm not sure about the rest of the country, but March has come in like a bit of a quietly roaring lion here. Unusual, but true! I wonder how long it will last? I have the house to myself for a bit. Mum very kindly took Margaret to Walmart to return a couple of things and to pick a few necessities... Sign in to see full entry.
