About bloody time I say! As that travel bug has had me itching for months now, and I thought I just might go mad with cabin fever if I didn’t get away! ....(More mad than “normally” that is).
“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.”.....it could not be more true.
I just received a phone call out of the blue that a family member has passed away.
Heart attack they reckon, not even enough time for loved ones to make it for their goodbyes, when minutes was literally all he was given.
I am stunned, shocked, and I feel a deep sense of sadness hanging heavy in my heart right now….. I also feel extremely selfish.
I spent another day wasted, not living it as though it were my last.
And clearly, as this phone call has proven, one just never knows when that day will be.
Shame on me for not remembering that .
To my oldest and dearest friend, it has been a pleasure traveling through life with you, (both figuratively and literally.)
As time steals yet another year from us, I wish you all the happiness in the up coming New Year.
One filled with joys and adventures where perhaps you hadn’t thought there was.
Good health to share with good friends, and that when your head hits the pillow at night, that it is not weighted with worries, but light with laughter.
It was good to hear your voice today, as always, (and even the bellows from your babies, as I miss them so).
Happy Birthday MomW, may #36 be the best!
Love DG.
As I have given up my beloved {{{Caffeine}}}}, (and Lord Knows how much I loved it), being that it was my one and only vice, I see very dark days ahead of me, and neighbourhood children should be afraid.very afraid
It hurts, it hurts real bad.

Now who knew the government had a funny bone?!
(I mean I always thought the government was “Comical” at best, but not in a funny “Ha Ha” kinda way!)
Love it!

“Thirty-five is when you finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart.” -Caryn Leschen
Well I hope only part of this turns out to be true,(the head bit in-case you were wondering), because as of tomorrow morning I will hit the big {{35}} mark! Placing my feet firmly between 30 and 40, and I am hoping it’s not all down hill from here!
(please tell me it’s not all down hill)
somebody….. anybody!!
Perhaps I should keep this quote in mind instead….

I just got a phone call, and I am now on my way at the crack of dawn to catch a flight into the BC wilderness to go visit some {{{Grizzly Bears}}} for the weekend!!!
Holy cats!! I have never seen one of them puppies before! Let alone up close!!
(And I don’t even have a working camera right now!! Arhghgh!!)
Wish me luck!!
...now where did I put that journal anyway?....
really hot. Summer is hanging onto the closing of yet another season, like a lovers long embrace before being shipped far away, and Fall quietly slips in to take it’s place.
The bird bath you see has long been taken over by my Lab as her watering dish, and the four cats further ensure no birds will visit.
The Nicotiana continues to bloom, and brighten several corners that are beginning to show minute signs of being tired and worn out from the sun’s damaging rays.
And down by the pond the Trout and Bass are making circular ripples on the waters surface as they jostle each other for a bite to eat, while keeping an eye out for the many predators that hunt them daily, ( including several boys I know who are just dying to get them onto a fishing line, and into a net.) , meanwhile they share their space with a pair of visiting Wood ducks quite comfortably, who look like some exotic imports from the far Orient.
The crickets have changed the evenings air with their sinewy song , replacing the exuberant solicitation of the frogs courting calls, who are now getting prepared for their winters nap.
There’s a feel of change crouching around the corner, and the garden path is becoming littered with it’s yellow tinted leaves.
other times the Polar Bear, and running is the easiest part, standing your ground is when things can get a little tougher.
My nails are dug in, and I am going climb my way back up, if only for a deep breath of air before being submerged once again.
27. A magic Genie to grant me three wishes.
or at least some variation of some guy stuck in a bottle who can make magic happen
I would just be happy if the house I am working on had doors, any doors, let alone trap doors or secret tunnels! And If things don’t start falling into place soon ,( instead of falling apart), I just might dig me a tunnel, or barricade myself in some secret room til the reno is over and done with!! But until then, I am putting this one on the shelf for another day, and another pay check. Though I am not giving it up! ( Just pressing the pause button for the time being.)
So many ups and downs. There are so many things I want in life… and yet what I want the most , is to want less…if that makes any sense at all.
I want things to be less complicated, and more clear.
I want people to stay true to their word, and live as honestly as possible.
I want to know there is a cushion of friends and family to fall on when I can no longer stand on my own.
I want hate, racism, and violence to crawl back under the rock from which it came.
I want to change into the person I know I can be.
I want to only blame myself for any unhappiness felt.
I want to know every thing’s going to be alright.
I want the courage to move froward without looking back.
I want to stop wanting.
If I could achieve the last on this list, then perhaps I could save myself from much disappointment and heart ache in the long run. (Though I know I will aways want some of the other things on my list as well , no matter what stage of life I am at)
Give more, want less. Fill myself with the positives in my life, not the negatives that weight so heavily on my heart at times. Be clear with my intents , and stay strong and true to myself.
And eat lots of ice cream.
definitely eat lots of ice cream

but I’ll ask anyway, where do you go on here to ask a question you want answered? (other than your own page that is ?) as I have somewhere in the past seen it, but now can’t find the link…anybody? Help… please.
hearing my friend is making progress and doing better after his accident last week on his Harley, and that he is NOT in a coma ( though we are still not allowed in for a visit, nor has he spoken to anyone since), surviving a near evacuation of my house, after a building caught on fire near my home , and then preceded to spread to the forest surrounding it, good samaritans that stopped to help my son this morning after he had a skate board accident on the side of the road, and promptly drove him back home to me to bandage him up, a cold shower on the hottest day of summer so far, followed by a cold beer in front of the fan, and a Thai Noodle salad.
Life is unpredictable…. this week has reminded me of just that.
My dogs did their best to knock me off balance wherever possible, in order for them to let me know they wanted to play, and they’d had enough of this thing called “Yoga”. As 95% of the shots included dogs, and just outside of the picture frame, are four cats looking on curiously.
Quite obviously my middle name is NOT “Grace”.
the middle one is where my sciatica nerve that has been giving me trouble, was screaming at me, and I was thinking to myself “Take the damned picture before I fall over!! Cause I think I am getting vertigo from the pain!!” ...Normally I can do much better….then again, maybe not.
(Thanks again to BeeQueen for teaching me this Photo technology, and for Kitty for gently reminding me how long it’s really been since I had last done this.”
