Today was a good day. I actually knocked stuff off the TO DO list. Made progress, walked the dog, ate a good dinner. Best thing is I have a plan of attack and … alls ….well….all is better. I even went into our room today; and yes the tears came, but I just kept at it. Atleast today I got enough done that I feel … Continue reading Mine, His, Theirs
THE DAILY PROMPT – Your home is on fire. Grab five items (assume all people and animals are safe). What did you grab? Oh, to have a strong back, bigger hands, maybe resemble the hulk … than the first would be the Hoosier Cabinet. It was my Great Grandmothers, and it’s priceless to me. So, failing that; § my Camera § my lil’Mac Mini § … Continue reading Those Precious Things
Which incidentally was exactly what I was just doing. Standing in the bathroom, having a smoke with the window open. It’s so mild out today. Last night it was all wet and foggy, this morning almost 1/2 the snow is gone. I Am the noises out my window the distant bark of dogs the snowmobiles hum You are a distant scar Wrote … Continue reading From out my window
That’s all it took that first night I saw him. Standing with his friend watching the band. My heart did this little somersault and I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Oh my sweet Adonis. There he was standing, in the flesh, right before my eyes. You know that to this day I can’t remember who talked to who first. All I remember is him … Continue reading 1000th of a second
What though the radiance which was once so bright Be now for ever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind; In the primal sympathy Which having been must ever be; In the soothing thoughts that spring Out of human suffering; … Continue reading Merry Maudlin Monday w/Wordsworth
May the lilt of Irish laughter Lighten every load, May the mist of Irish magic Shorten every road, May you taste the sweetest pleasures That fortune e’re bestowed, And may all your friends remember All the favors you are owed. Continue reading Blessing for Sunday
It comes on the radio at just the right time, or that old school friend played it for you just after that boyfriend dumped you. Maybe it was the song your parents always danced to after you went to bed. Music is the soundtrack. It’s the dramatic pause, or the cliff hanger highs. Music often is forever wrapped up with moments and memories that go … Continue reading Sweet soul soothing sounds
Love is so many things, at different times. Love of a child, a mate, an idea. In my collection of photos, in the old of my grandparents and my own shots, there are a few that stand out. This one-shot for me though says it all. This shot is of my Grandparents, it was taken around the mid-late 1930’s. From this one picture, you can … Continue reading It’s in the Look
I had to, I couldn’t resist it any longer. This writing challenge finally gives me the excuse I’ve needed to use my photos from my trip to Montreal in 2005. I LOVE MONTREAL. Montreal, in three paragraphs? Only? Lets see. Located in Canada, in the province of Quebec, a visit to Montreal is like being transported to some exotic European city. It is vibrant, historic, … Continue reading Montreal Is…
Everyday it is my habit to rise before dawn, make my coffee and then head to the computer to read the morning paper. On some mornings it seems as though it is just one dismal story after another. Thankfully, occasionally I’m surprised and reminded that this world of ours has something new to teach us everyday. Today’s Toronto Star is the case in point – … Continue reading A World of Wonder

When I came up with this idea last week my thinking was this will be easy…choose a blogger or re-blog a post you like – simple. HA. Right. Simple. NOT so simple I found out this week. The whole idea actually this week seemed rather arrogant. Who am I to feature a blogger, when some of the bloggers I might want to feature will no … Continue reading Tickle My Fancy – I hear Voices
