I think the snake handlers are the most unusual. Faith in action.

Letting it Hang Out

I got absorbed in this conversation and forgot to go to work!

Actually I was there yesterday and it doesn't really matter as long as i get there by noon, one of the perks of being management! (That plus the fourteen hour day)

Anyway ladies, I trust your day will go, continue or progress well.

I'll be back later.

Ciao!

Letting it Hang Out

Not really sad anymore, I have some stupendous memories of when I danced and did not limp!

Letting it Hang Out

Shoes gone!?! Tragedy! Love shoes, wear flip flops .

We have had the occasional little yellow crocuslike flower popping out. Lots of nice fresh green also.

For me 'pinky land' (I like that) does not deny reality.

It just refuses to get stuck in the feeling that reality is the same forever or that it is intrinsically bad.

There are things I do not like, that I am not going to be happy about, but I will not be miserable about them forever either,

An example: I used to dance ballet and it was generally agreed by my teachers etc. that I had potential to follow that life. I broke my ankle badly and could not do point work.

I switched to modern dance, overcame a back injury and then five years later damaged a knee so badly professional dancing was out of the question. So now I am the best darned dancer at parties.

Of course I limp for three days afterwards but that is a price I am willing to pay. I love to dance.

Certainly there were tears and heartache along the way but I chose 'pinky land', look to what I can do rather than what I cannot do.

It is the way I prefer to live.

Thanks Trish! How are you this morning?

Morimg gangel!

Morning Lady K! I always choose the pink glasses because I prefer to live in at least neutral state if I cannot be joyous about something.

Change what you can and do not stress about the rest.

Not easy but simple. And it can be done.

"Morning Claayer!

Just reminding my grumpy self how unappealing it is to wallow in one's misery!

Feel it, then go help someone else.

Letting it Hang Out

Choose the bitter or the sweet,
you control the tastes you eat;
you can frown or you can smile,
try them both out for a while;
pain is real, it always passes
if you wear rose coloured glasses,
what you look for, you will find
we create well with the mind;
be careful what you choose to say,
you don't know who you'll hurt today
casual words can have sharp edges
or push people on to ledges,
if you drown me in your pain
do you feel better? Do you gain?
If today I bear your sorrow,
will you join my joy tomorrow?
If not, what's the point in this?
Time to say bye bye; kiss kiss!




Perhaps I should call it the song of the heartless woman.

RE: ~~ I am so puzzled here ~~

Very valid point!

RE: Fate?

I think we get put in the same place at the same time every now and then, but it up to us to do something about it.

Sometimes we choose well, sometimes we choose unwisely. Either way we are offered a lesson.

RE: Party to the Party, Party to the Crimes

I have never seen a crocodile tear. Is it an Everglade myth?

Good to see you GB.

Under the Morning

Thanks for the prayers, Life is certainly never dull. I agree with you about grease!I relaxed (somewhat) yesterday so I have a full schedule today.

Everone else is playing so I get twice the work done, and get to leave early tomorrow.

Have a day full of joy yourself.

!
Glad the new job is rolling along well at least.

Hi to Jackson and the fourlegged crew!

Under the Morning

'Morning Don. How's the garden progressing?

Under the Morning

I walked under the morning,
heading east into the fire
turning shadow to its other side,
a glow that dappled gold
across my shoulder
warming night cooled flesh,
bringing forth the scents of sleep
and yesterday.
I walked alone under the morning
except for rushing birds
all striving to be early,
not seeing me as predator
just busy with their business
with the worms
while tiny flowers stretched
their equivalent of arms
wide open to the benison
of light sliding down
the contours of the valley
turning the hint of morning
into day. I walked because my spirit
is all restless, tied to flesh
and all its failures, the hint
of stagger in its stride
reminding me of my
mortality, the grave truth
that waits somewhere
in my future. Spirit surges
forward seeking fire,
phoenix hungry
for completion,
ashes sweet surrender
to the wonder of rebirth,
flesh does not fail,
just limps a little
under the morning
as I walk.

RE: Favorite time of the year??

I tend to like them all, probably because they are less well defined in the caribbean so when I get them I love them.

RE: If the Mayans were right about 2012...would you be prepared to survive?? You've only got 4 years.

One of the side effects of being dabbler and reading a lot is that you pick up odd, and sometimes useful, skills.

While I sincerely hope I never have to trap animals for food and dress their hides for clothing, I know how to do it. I can build a shelter, start a fire, and condense water as long as I have some plastic and can dig a hole.

My hurricane kit has an extensive first aid kit and other neat stuff, so I could probably get by. Doesn't mean I want to.
