A CHILD'S WORDS OF LOVE AND PEACE

For me, Christmas isn't about what I'll find under my tree. In fact, I never ask for specific gifts. I did as a small child of course, but what child doesn't? It's a mere act of childhood joy and innocence to discover the one thing you've longed most for all year left by Santa Claus just for you!... Sign in to see full entry.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Happy birthday to me!!! I've made it through yet another year, my thirty seventh, to be exact. Funny thing is, I don't feel the least bit older! If anything I feel younger, so that's most definetly a very good thing! I've had a ton of phone calls from well wishers already today and I'm sure I'll... Sign in to see full entry.

A PRAYER REQUEST FOR MY FRIEND

Hi gang... I meant to write earlier today, but I'm exhausted! I just wanted to come by and ask for prayers for my friend in Ireland. He's unwell again tonight and if it lasts much longer, he's promised to go to the doc. Many thanks in advance. I'll keep y'all posted... Sign in to see full entry.

BRRRRR!

DANG, IT IS COLD OUTSIDE!!!! And people wonder why I HATE WINTER!!!! As I'm sure most of you are aware by now, quite a few areas here in Maine were affected by an ice storm. Thankfully, Roommie and I were fortunate enough to have lost neither electricity nor heat. I need to get rich quick and move... Sign in to see full entry.

ALL IS WELL...BUT WHAT'S GOING ON?

My friend in Ireland is slowly recovering from the cough he's had. I'm so relieved, especiallly since we haven't been able to chat for two days! Poor chap, he just wasn't well enough. I just praise God for giving him some much needed relief at last! He has to go in to work tonight, which worries me... Sign in to see full entry.

THE SYMPATHY PAINS ARE BACK

My hands have just started hurting again. They were fine when I got up this morning, but now they're stiff again and the burning pains are back. Not good for me, since I can't make it to my doctor's surgery today. It's too slippery outside from all the freezing rain and snow we're having at the... Sign in to see full entry.

NORMANDY IS ON FIRE...AGAIN

The weather here is miserable. The snow has melted because it's now raining and blowing to beat the band. We're expecting another storm beginning tomorrow that's supposed to last us well into this coming weekend. Needless to say, I'm stiff as a surfing board and then some! My poor friend in Ireland...

CRAWLING ALONG

Ah, Tuesday! We slept in today, even though I'd set the alarm for 8:30. Ended up being awake on and off again all last night because I'm still so uncomfortable. Its snowing again as well, which I'm sure doesn't help. I don't think Roommie will be going anywhere today. It's so cold! Ah well, another... Sign in to see full entry.

THE FIRST SNOWFALL

Well, its finally happened. All day yesterday, it snowed here...the one thing I dread above all else during the year. You'd think that living in Maine I'd be used to it by now. Well, I'm not and I never will be. Needless to say, I'm a bit depressed today. It's not the only reason, though. Actually,... Sign in to see full entry.

SHARING A GIFT

Gift giving seems to be my theme today. I just went to amazon to order a gift for my friend in Ireland, and I'm so excited! Here's why.... The night before last when we were chatting online, I told him that I'd finally managed to start my drawing lessons. Yes, I've finally gotten round to indulging... Sign in to see full entry.

A SIMPLE GIFT

I have to say that not being able to sing lately is driving me absolutely bonkers! I abhore singing in front of people-even though I spent the last two years of my high school career in the chorus-but I don't mind singing here at home. The one thing I've always wanted, more than anything else, is to... Sign in to see full entry.

SEASON'S INSANITY!

Good morning gang... First off, I'd like to apologise for not stopping by to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. That evening, I came down with what I thought was a cold. Turns out it's a virual infection. From the looks of things, I'll have this thing for about a month! This is the first illness... Sign in to see full entry.

A BITTER SWEET CHRISTMAS

Hi gang... I don't really know where to start this post, so I'm just going to get straight to the point. As some of you may or may not know, I have a friend in Ireland. He's been through a lot over the past few months, but out of respect for the privacy of himself and his children, I won't talk... Sign in to see full entry.

SYMPATHY PAINS

For the past few days my hands have really been hurting. They've been quite stiff on and off, but I have no idea why. CP, especially the form I have, causes stiffness on a daily basis. But, in my almost thirty seven years on this planet, my hands have never been stiff. Never. I often say that I have... Sign in to see full entry.

AND THEY THINK I'VE GOT BRAIN DAMAGE!

Okay, so here's the thing, people... We had to buy a new coffee pot at the end of October because ours died due to the fact that one of the outlets in the kitchen was bad and destroyed the cord. Now, I absolutely love the new coffee pot except for one tiny detail... IT'S MADE OF GLASS!!!!! I... Sign in to see full entry.

A VERY SLOW COME BACK

Hi gang... Yes, it's me again! First off I'd like to say I hope you all had a fantastic Halloween. Can y'all believe it's 1 Novemeber already?? I know my reading and writing here of late has been very poor, but the reasons for this are many, and some of them I won't go into here. Just please know... Sign in to see full entry.

REST IN PEACE, UNCLE PAUL

Hi gang, I can't write much at the moment, but I wanted to come by and ask for prayers for my Grammy and her siblings. Their brother, my uncle Paul, passed away on Sunday after a year-long battle with a very painful form of cancer. No one knew Paul was sick...he chose to keep his illness hidden from...
