A Long Year Without You

"If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever." -- Alfred Lord Tennyson Son of my heart, as was your Brother David gone before you, and your living brothers still with me in missing you. Three hundred and sixty five days I have thought about you, talked to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sun Is Finally Shining

Days of gray clouds and rain and cold and arthritis pains jabbing and not accomplishing much and seeing no one except those getting in and out of their cars in the parking lot and hurrying in out of the cold, or taking a bag of trash out to the dumpster. Finally last evening just before 5:00 p.m.... Sign in to see full entry.

Especially For Goldiec

I wrote this for my Sister that I was telling you about, the one who loved fairies and collected them. You might be the only one who has never seen it. She was very special to me. Faery Dust And Memories A little woodland faery, she fluttered in on gossamer wings drawn to white coral bells and tiny... Sign in to see full entry.

Shadows Of The Past Spanish moss blowing in the wind as it hangs from spectral limbs, reaching out in evenings failing light, all encompassing ambience of the night's arrival, calls to mind how the shadows of my past and the future of my grandchildren are entertwined. Somewhere in the middle am I,... Sign in to see full entry.

Between Time and Time

In The Light Of The Full Moon ~ It was a full moon last night, my love. It was here with me, so palpable I could reach out my trembling fingers and feel the cool warmth of its beams. It shined upon my head and turned my gray hair into burnished silver just the way you loved. ~ The full moon was here... Sign in to see full entry.

What A Time For A Shock From The Past

By the past, I'm talking twenty-four years ago. Twenty-four years with no personal contact, few photos, many miles between (Oregon, NYC, Seattle. Chicago), and bad feelings, and today the shock arrives by email. Phil doesn't really even know he has brothers. He hasn't seen them since he was ten... Sign in to see full entry.

'Tis The Season

My favorite Christmas music. I love to sing along. I never get tired of it. With it here on one of my blogs, I can drop in anytime easily and take up where I left off before. Also it can play in the background while I read and comment on your posts. I love the Christmas Season. Sign in to see full entry.

I Never Get Tired Of It

The Time Is Always Right To Do What Is Right

Before this day is over, ere the sun drops below the horizon and the stars begin popping into view, I want to add my tribute to an extraordinary man, who lived an extraordinary life, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His words are worth hearing, his messages worth reading, his actions are worth...
