I live a simple life. Some would say even pathetic, or no life at all. As any of you who read me on a regular basis hear repeatedly, the most mundane things will amuse me. More often than not, for hours on end. Literally. I'm actually a huge cartoon fan. I like most of the cartoons that aired in the... Sign in to see full entry.
WHO WILL CRY FOR THE CHILDREN?
I've just watched the most disgusting, sickening thing. My friends, if you can, please go to youtube and type in chocolate slave. We need to be aware of what's happening in the world outside our own. If we all stand together as one, we can change the world for the better. Some of what you'll see and... Sign in to see full entry.

YAY BECKY!
I've just had a phone call from Becky, and she's given me the most wonderful news! She is doing much, much, much better. The physical and occupational therapy sessions are grueling for her, but she is getting stronger by the day. I am rooting for her, as I know so many others are. If all goes well,...

FLOATING MOMENTS
Hello everyone... Thank you all very much to those of you who read CLOUDS. I'm so happy I was able to write something which made you all feel peaceful and tranquil and perhaps a bit serene. The poem came to me just last night. I love it when things like this pop into my mind. I love to look out and... Sign in to see full entry.

A PEACEFUL POEM
CLOUDS Clouds are the keepers of Heaven Holders of Angels tears Soft pillows For cherubs to kneel They part to let in the sunlight Streamer of joy Of light, Of life Clouds are the mystics of Heaven Guardians of stars And moon Close your eyes And drift away Sleep without fear You will not fall For...

AVINGNON CONTINUES
AVINGNON Note: We have left Paris, and are now in Avingnon. I have never actually been here, but I have in fact seen this place. Perhaps one day, God will allow me to see it in the flesh. It’s a quarter to eight when Max finally steers us down the long, narrow dirt road, following my directions to... Sign in to see full entry.
FELIZ CINCO DE MAYO, MI AMIGOS!
Si, feliz cinco de Mayo, mi amigos! This day always makes me want to run out to our nearest Mexican restaurant and eat until I have to rolled out the door! I don't care for all Mexican food in general, and I have to be extremely careful of the spicy stuff, but there are some dishes that make my... Sign in to see full entry.

FREE TO WANDER
It's another warm, beautiful day here. Dandelions have popped up from practically every direction. It's in the seventies again today, so yay! We may go out on Thursday rather than Friday. Mum offered to take me to pick up the wii console, so if she's still willing I'll take her up on it. Well, now... Sign in to see full entry.

DREAMS OF ANOTHER KIND
A HOUSE MOST EMPTY I arrived late in the morning. Eleven thirty, to be exact. It was raining when my plane landed, it rained all the way here. Hasn’t let up yet. If the angels are crying as hard as I am, it probably never will. The house is just as I imagined it would be. He kept it up well,... Sign in to see full entry.
BIDDING FAREWELL TO PARIS
PARIS Note: I never got to see Paris when I was in France, but at least I got to see it here. Another gorgeous morning in Paris. Warm enough for me to have my coffee on the balcony. So, here I sit in my pajamas, coffee in hand, laptop and drawing supplies on my little outdoor table. I’ll go and have... Sign in to see full entry.
INTERLUDES
A strange title for this post, but I can't think of a different one at the moment. I'm feeling a bit odd today. I did manage to ring Dad for his birthday yesterday, but he was lying down. I asked Gloria to have him ring me back today, but I think he tried last night while the race was on, and... Sign in to see full entry.

UNPRODUCTIVE SUNDAY
I've been up since 8:30 this morning. Apart from a shower, I haven't done a thing all day! Dad's birthday is today, so I'll ring him a bit later. He never stays long on the phone, which always makes me sad. Still, it's his day, and I don't want him to feel forgotten about. Roommie still isn't... Sign in to see full entry.

SUNNY PEACEFUL SATURDAY
Happy May Day my friends... We slept in this morning, and I'm now enjoying the rest of my coconut iced coffee that our friend brought me yesterday morning. It's only a medium, but I couldn't finish it off yesterday for a couple of reasons. Will head for the shower in a few minutes. I want to be lazy... Sign in to see full entry.

A POWERFUL THING TO CONSIDER
We've all heard this before, but I'm going to say it again. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Our minds were the most power gifts bestowed upon us by God. When we use them for good, they allow us to imagine the supposedly impossible. Sign in to see full entry.

PRAYERS FOR CHINA'S CHILDREN
My dear friends... Please join me in praying for the children of China this morning. It seems that early this morning a man weilding a knife attacked kindergarten class in southern China, stabbing twenty eight children. Five people are in critical condition, including a teacher and a security gaurd... Sign in to see full entry.

IN AND OUT
Hi everyone... Thank you for your kind words over the last couple of posts. I'm feeling better physically, but there are some clouds which need further dealing with before the dust settles. I wish I had more to write about, but for the moment the well has run a bit dry. I'm sure the flame of... Sign in to see full entry.

GETTING UP AND GOING...SLOWLY
Good morning, my friends... It's a beautiful, chilly but sunny day here. We've been up since 7:30. My bladder woke me, and I suddenly realised that we'd had a power surge because the alarm clock was blinking. Anyway, my back and hips are hurting, so I just can't sleep as long. It's all for the best,... Sign in to see full entry.

A BIT UNDER THE WEATHER...BUT MORE GREAT NEWS!
Becky is sitting up and eating and drinking! I got the report this morning when I popped onto facebook. She talked to me briefly earlier this afternoon and told me that she may have to enter a rehabilitation centre for a couple of weeks, only to gain her strength back. Again, thank you all from the...
