Thanks Calleigh! Love your pic!!!

yes

Have you ever given a cat a bath?

Hannibal Lector

My heart is not empty
The shelves are all stocked
But the brain is not working
My ideas are blocked

Someone please help me
Make all of this flow
I have so many feelings
I want to show

I sit here and type
For an endless time
Just hoping and praying
For this simple rhyme

If you know me you see
What I'm talking about
This writer's block
Is giving me doubt

Someone please help
Just strike a cord
For this lack of release
I cannot afford

Another year lost
To the fights of this world
But with the new year
My hopes are unfurled

The lies and hate
The last did spread
Are now but figments
Spinning through my head

Some saddness and pain
Will not be missed
My goodbyes to it
Have already been kissed

The new brings hope
For peace and love
So be it below
As it is above

Let it ring loud
So all can hear
I'm going to be happy
In this new year

This is amazing Bob!!



Merry Christmas

Not enough time to send them all out this year but here is one for everyone here... My love to you all!!

Thanks to all of you for your POV and for taking the time to stop in.

A big thanks to you Katzenschnauzer for being willing to be my family. Being the sister of a Marine I have family around the world and that gives me great peace. (((HUGS)))

Screw that! He is going to be sending you a plane ticket so you and I can enjoy that bottle together

What a dreary day it is today...

Normally around here there is a lot of movement, the dogs would be barking, my cat would be wanting to play with everything that moves, there would be people out and about, and something would be happening on the grounds, but today that just isn't how things are. It is quiet and that is a bit unsettling.

Since I'm sitting here noticing how different things are today it is a good time to notice just how different things are in my life. This is the first time in 15 years that I haven't lived close enough to my family to be with them for the holidays and it is really bothering me. We aren't exactly the closest family in the world and we do have our fair share of problems but I still love them very much and miss being near them.

My life has changed for the better since I have moved and that is something to be thankful for but I wonder how much better it would be if they could all be here for this season when we put our differences aside and all came together to celebrate. Would it be the same old occasion or would it somehow be better since everything in my life is better? I'm honestly not sure...

Since my family isn't and can't be here I truly feel blessed to have a wonderful network of friends and people around that care about me and are willing to be there for me when I need them. This time of year is a wonderful time when you have people around that care about you and I can truly appreciate that having lived the life I have.

This also makes me appreciate all that our troops and thier families are giving so the rest of us can be safe here at home during this holiday season. As much as I miss my family I can't fathom the idea of being overseas or having someone I love overseas during this time of year. My thanks goes out to all of you that are there and the families that are still here. I know these words are just that but please know that they are from my heart and they are filled with love, admiration and gratitude for all you do.
