Oh, boy... Today is not such a good day. It was when I got out of bed, but it went down hill about an hour later. Hopefully, the trouble doesn't last long. For now, all I can do is pray and keep my fingers crossed. The Gestapo has returned. Big time. It feels like the entire length of my spine has... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I hope you all had a blessed Easter Sunday. We should remember not only on Easter Sunday that He is risen, but all year long. I hope you all had a beautiful day. It was sunny here yesterday, but still chilly. At least there was no snow! We had a nice dinner yesterday afternoon. It was... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Easter my friends! I may be here for a very short time tomorrow after all, but nothing is definite. If I am here tomorrow, I will not be here on Saturday or Sunday. Mum and my Uncle are coming for dinner on Sunday! You're all invited as well, of course. I wish you all a blessed and very Happy... Sign in to see full entry.

His movements were reported to the doctor on call an hour later. To Kiwi’s fury, his response was the same as Carly’s. She didn’t say anything about it to Lindy or the other boys on the ward, though. And especially not to Tim. His spirits seem dampened enough already. The next morning, Kiwi and... Sign in to see full entry.

Kiwi grabs Carly by her arm hard and yanks her out the door. Once more, Carly tries to apologise. “I’m really sorry, Kiwi. I didn’t mean to upset Tim that way. I just don’t see the point of trying to pretend that man is going to be all right.” “And just what’s that supposed to mean?” “Oh, come on,... Sign in to see full entry.

Tim was a pilot. Was. He’ll never fly a plane of any kind ever again. It happened on hot July morning. He’d had the weekend off and was getting ready to return to work in a village about two and a half hours away from where he was. Tim was actually a dispatch carrier for his unit. But he also picked... Sign in to see full entry.

I can't believe it! I just can't believe it! I'm so excited! I've only managed to do this once before in the whole time I've had my new "bike." I managed to ride for an ENTIRE hour! No getting worn out after only half an hour, no pain....WOW! I'm gonna lose weight for sure! Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Wednesday my friends... Just three more days until Easter! Wow! I'm looking forward to it, though. Which reminds me, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I won't be here. I'm giving my laptop the weekend off in honour of the Easter holiday. As we don't celebrate Easter Monday I'll be back then.... Sign in to see full entry.

Kiwi politely parts company with Tim momentarily, promising to come back as soon as she can. She has to have a word with Carly first. Then, it’s time for his bunk mate’s bandages to be changed again. “Where the hell have you been, Carly? You’re nearly an hour late!” Kiwi doesn’t respond kindly to... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm sitting here trying to think of where to take the story next and listening to the wind howling outside my windows. It sounds utterly mournful and wretched today. I wonder if the wind ever gets lonely? Sign in to see full entry.

“I have something for you Tim. Melinda brought it to me when she was here a few minutes ago.” “Lindy?” His voice brightens. “Is she still here?” “No. She’s stepping out on you again, I’m afraid!” He laughs hysterically at this. For months now, he and Lindy have been flirting with one another. At... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I hope you all had a blessed Sunday. It rained here all day yesterday. Today, it's HOT! I love the sunshine. And the rain, too. Without rain and sunshine, there could be no rainbows. I love rainbows. They are God's way of smiling at His children, I think. On a sad note, please join me... Sign in to see full entry.

If I may, I have an unspoken prayer request. Thank you all and God bless. Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Saturday my friends... The weather here is glorious once more. The windows are open again and there is a gentle breeze and loads of sunshine. Another fantastic Saturday. I think today will begin an online shopping spree. All my bills for the month have been taken care of, so as long as we have... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone and a happy Friday to you all. I'd like to take a moment to wish our dear Kabu a very happy belated birthday and a very happy one today to our dear wil ey one. Margaret and I had a horrible expirience at Walmart yesterday, but I don't feel like writing about that. It's a gorgeous day... Sign in to see full entry.

I am so angry right now. I just dLon't understand how one person or group of people can harbour such hatred for another. Such burning hatred, that, they would deliberately cause people to lose everything they have...very nearly their lives. Last year at exactly this time, there was a string of arson...

My heart is just broken in half for those twenty Pennsylvania high school students affected by the stabbing earlier today. I can't imagine the terror they felt. My prayers go out to them all, and to their familes and friends. But my prayers are even stronger for the child who committed this horrible... Sign in to see full entry.

Please pray for Margaret's Dad, Earl. He has been re-admitted to hospital with some serious medical problems and will have to undergo a colonoscopy and other tests over the next several days. I'll update you all when I can. Also, please pray for our friend Rob. He is going through some personal... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I hope you're all having a blessed Wednesday. It was such a lovely day here! Notice I said it was lovely. We woke up to pleasant temperatures and a bright sunny blue sky this morning! But suddenly... I just got out of the shower and had to turn the heat up again. The windows had to be... Sign in to see full entry.

I wanted to follow up on something I posted about here about a week or so ago. Partly, because I hope it will inspire others to give if they can. Before I continue however, I want to make it very clear to you all that I am NOT soliciting or asking any of you for monetary donations of any kind...I... Sign in to see full entry.
