THE DISMAL WEEK BEGINS

Happy Monday everyone... I thought about writing yesterday, but didn't have the energy to turn on the laptop! The weather outside is utterly miserable! Dark and raining and very windy. Still, the rain is much needed so I'm glad we're finally getting some. Mum says that by the time the rain... Sign in to see full entry.

THE PERFECT BACK UP PLAN!

Sometimes I'm so brilliant yet daft as a brush that it scares me! Shortly after writing my previous post and glousing about probably not being able to go and see CHIMPANZEE, I had a fantastic idea! We could still go and see the film, even if not this coming week. And...I can STILL make a donation to... Sign in to see full entry.

MISERY AHEAD...BUT STILL HOPING

What a dismal looking Saturday! The skies are dark and moody, and we are expecting rainfall from this evening straight through into Wednesday. Ugh! Still, it isn't cold outside and the birds are singing! The new Disney Nature film CHIMPANZEE opened in our local cinema yesterday. For the last three... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT MORE CAN I DO?

I've been sitting here all day thinking of Andrew. I pray that God will bless his life and protect him from harm until he can return home safely to all his loved ones. I hope that he will write me back, but even if he doesn't I will always pray for him...and for the countless others who make... Sign in to see full entry.

ROLLER COASTER RIDE

If there's one thing I hate, it's when a doctor doesn't listen to me. I realise that not all doctors are intentionally arrogant or rude, but I think more of them need to be on the other side of the spectrum. I now have a slight infection in the wound. It isn't as bad as before-at least, I don't... Sign in to see full entry.

ITS BEEN A WHILE...SO...

DEAR HUMANITY Dear citizens of the world, I’m writing this letter to you because countless times people have asked me, “What is the meaning of life? What can I do to make the world a better place?” First of all, let me just state here that I AM NOT the one you should be asking these questions. You... Sign in to see full entry.

TO BRIGHTEN THE DAYS

I've finished Andrew's letter and will post it later on this afternoon. I'm hoping I'll get a reply, but even if I don't, I want him to know that even people who don't know him are praying for him and waiting for him to come home again. I hope the letter will brighten his days. Even if only a... Sign in to see full entry.

THANK YOU WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH

I did finally manage to write a very brief letter to Andrew late yesterday afternoon. I filled only both sides of one sheet of paper because I wanted my first letter to be just that, brief. If he decides to write me back, I'll write a longer letter of course. I am hoping to hear from him, but if I... Sign in to see full entry.

A DAY TOO LONG

Hi everyone... I did try to come back and write more earlier today, but once more my hands decided not to work. I'll come back tomorrow and try again, though I have no idea when that will be. Good night dear ones... Sign in to see full entry.

BACK AT LAST

Hi everyone... Yes, I'm still here. I tried to write yesterday, but once again I spazzed and hit the wrong key and deleted the whole post!... It's a beautiful warm and sunny day here. I only wish I felt well enough to go outside again. I'm afraid I got some not-so-encouraging news from Patsy... Sign in to see full entry.

ANYTHING FOR A FRIEND

I'm rather excited! Yesterday, I rang Miss Julie just to chat and she asked me if I'd be willing to help her out with something. Of course, I said, without evening asking what she might need. Julie works for The College Guild, an organisation that provides free educational materials and various... Sign in to see full entry.

A GOOD CALL

I rang Diane this morning and she rang me back fairly quickly. I told her what happened with the seaweed silver cloth and she said she'd talk to Doctor Herman. She rang me back about an hour later and as I suspected, he also belives I may have had a reaction to the silver. Especially since the... Sign in to see full entry.

UNCERTAINTY

I've done something I probably shouldn't have done, and I know Patsy isn't going to be any too pleased with me when I see her on Monday, but I'll deal with the consequences then. For the moment, I don't care to a certain point. I've stopped using the seaweed silver cloth as of late yesterday... Sign in to see full entry.

I'VE FINALLY CRACKED IT! I THINK???!

Sometimes I seriously amuse myself! All this time I've been mumbling and grumbling about the fact that no matter how hard I've tried, my hands just don't seem to want to learn to crochet. The right hand, especially. I even bought two special tools that are specifically designed to allow the... Sign in to see full entry.

OVER THE EDGE

My thoughts and prayers and much love go out to our friend Rumor and his family during this trying time for them all. A huge thank you to our dear friend Amanda for reminding us to pray for them and to pray for each other. Pain wise, this has not been a good day for me. The ulcer wound seem to be...

UNTIL MONDAY

Good evening everyone... I will not be here tomorrow as it's Easter Sunday. The girls and I are going to spend a lazy day eating Chinese food and watching television! I will, however, be back on Monday. Until then, I wish you all a blessed and peaceful Easter surrounded by friends and loved ones and... Sign in to see full entry.

HE IS RISEN

Happy Good Friday, dear ones... Remember, on Friday, He was crucified. On Sunday, He arose and ascended to the Father. Sign in to see full entry.

YOUR GOOD NIGHT KISS

He sat there in his quiet corner of the bunker reading her first letter by torch light. It was about one o’clock in the morning, and he was reading it for the third time. Most of the other chaps were sound asleep. He was still wide awake. Just a few months older than Kay herself, Andrew Kerr is the... Sign in to see full entry.

THE PROMISE OF EASTER

I can hardly believe that tomorrow is Good Friday. I'm not a Catholic, but I do believe in the promise Jesus made to us. It must have been so hard for him to know that he would return to our Father in such a way...but what a wonderful gift he gave to us all. Last night, I read a post by our...
