AND SAY AMEN

I've just found an English and a Hebrew translation of the Kaddish. There are three variations of the same prayer, which is said at different stages of life. The first is recited at the blessing of a newborn child, the second at weddings, and the third during the time of mourning. For the time... Sign in to see full entry.

SADNESS

I know this was bound to happen sooner or later, but my heart just can't reconcile it. According to what I read online this morning, 30 protesters have been killed in Tibet. Worse than hatred (or is this equal to?) the fear of what we don't understand not only leads us to hatred of others...but more... Sign in to see full entry.

PAIN...FRUSTRATION...AND EASTER DINNER

I'm so sad and angry. I was supposed to go with Mum and my oldest sister on Saturday to spend the night with my grandmother, but guess what? I can't because... It's going to snow again tomorrow night! To be honet though, it's probably for the best if I stay home. The Nazis have come back yet again,... Sign in to see full entry.

A START

So yesterday, after my ranting about the current situation in Tibet, I sat here at my computer and started writing a letter to my son. I'm sure it will be quite a while before I hear from him again, but I've put it off far too long as it is. The more I think about things, the more I realise just how... Sign in to see full entry.

WHERE IS THE RESPECT AND TOLERENCE?

I've been reading bits and pieces online about the current situation in Tibet, and to say the least, it's tearing my heart out. As it is, I've been thinking about my son a lot the last couple of days...Which only breaks my heart all the more. As I've written many, many times before my son spent... Sign in to see full entry.

TREES OF LIFE, TREES OF HOPE

Has anyone here visited annefrankhouse.org? I happened upon the site a couple of days ago and I learned that the foundation is trying to preserve the chestnut tree that shades the office building where Anne and her family and four others hid. It's a beautiful tree. Then, all trees are beautiful... Sign in to see full entry.

HELLO AGAIN

Wasn't that an old 80's song by The Cars or something? Anyway, I thought out of respect for my somewhat loyal followers, I'd best pop in and say hello...So, hello! I'm still missing you all like crazy, but writing is so hard right now I can't even begin to describe it. Not only because of the... Sign in to see full entry.

NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS...AND SOME VERY SAD NEWS, TOO

Good morning my friends... I know its been almost a full week since I posted that poem. I just haven't been up to doing a whole lot of writing lately, and while I wish I could say I know the reason, I don't. Ah, well...you know that old saying about no news being good news!... I would like to ask... Sign in to see full entry.

WRECKED

Here's another poem... DROWNING Why do you rip me apart? Cut out my heart? Why do you haunt me? Why do I let you? I love you No matter what they say I won’t hate you No matter what you say I won’t hate you The tears are drowning me I try to keep my head above the water That rushes in But I can’t I...

WHAT'S WRONG WITH BOOK WORMS?

Roommie's at Wal-Mart, but should be home soon. I have to confess that leaving me alone for any length of time can be a very dangerous thing! These are the times when I'm most likely to splurge on myself. I thought I wanted to order a couple more crochet pattern books, but quickly changed my mind.... Sign in to see full entry.

HELLO

Just popping in for a quick hello gang... Hope everyone is well. It's raining here. The ice is finally melting, but the weather isn't boding well for my poor back. Yes, mein Nazis are reigning supreme once more. Still, life is good. I'm able to get out of bed. Last night I read a bit more of Michael... Sign in to see full entry.

EMPTY SPACE

I'm doing okay tonight and I want to write something. Problem is, I can't think of anything to write. I've tried going over some of the stories I've started...Tried looking over Nikolai's novel...Lena and Viktor's story. Nothing. I've started another story, but can't finish it. At least, not yet. I... Sign in to see full entry.

TORTURED

Hi gang, What I will tell you is this...one of the reasons (though at the moment, not the biggest one) that I haven't written a whole lot lately is that I just can't. Physically, I mean. It's driving me nuts not to be able frankly, but at this point all I can say is better safe than sorry. My little... Sign in to see full entry.

ONE YEAR LATER

The following is a poem I've just written in memory of a sweet little friend who stole my heart and shared my home for almost twelve years. I love you, Meeko.

HI EVERYONE

Hi everyone, I'm not sure how often I'll be writing here for a while, but I'll do it when I can. I've been really lazy lately and I owe everyone here an apology. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your kind comments regarding my last post. I love you all very much and I hope you... Sign in to see full entry.

ANOTHER GOODBYE

Hi gang... I don't want anyone here to freak out with worry, so I'm giving y'all a head's up. I'm saying goodbye to blogit. At least for now. I don't know how long I'll have to be away this time...or even if I'll be back. I can't talk about it right now, and I can't write anything. So, for now I'll... Sign in to see full entry.

A GIFT LOST

Goodbye Nathan Aaron... I'm so sorry I can't be your auntie anymore. Daddy took that away without meaning to...but I can't do the things I should be able to for you, so I think it's better for all of us if I give this up now. I'm sorry we never met. Just remember that you are loved. Sign in to see full entry.

STITCHING (CHAIN) OF FOOLS

SLOW SUNDAY

Thank God! I was able to sleep in until 9:00 this morning! My bladder woke me up this time, not my back. It was so nice to be able to sleep in, but now I'm getting a slow start. I hate that. My ankle has gone again. I can still bear weight on it and walk, but the stairs are tricky. It keeps snapping... Sign in to see full entry.
