The rain fell relentlessly, it poured so hard that the leaves and smaller branches outside the shelter were bowed in acceptance of the storm that raged. The winds had picked up, and taller trees were being buffeted by the fierce, determination of the gales that blew over and through them.

Thunder flashed across the sky, down below the water would be churning, the waves demonic, What was happening, she felt nothing. While all around her the world expressed her mood, her pain, the turmoil in her brain… she was a quiet witness, unfeeling to the searing pain within.

Some how, God was protecting her from the wrenching emptiness in her heart, from the cold reality of the moment.

To survive this moment, God had crystalized her heart. Under different skies they had promised never to part, to always, till forever be man, wife,mother,father. she gasped, clutched at her heart, the children, what would she tell the children.

At the thought of the children, there was a sudden change in the air, in the mood, the wind/rain seem to abate, she felt the tear slide gently down her cheek. In the distance she saw a golden glow.

The children would be on their way home now, the skies were clearing, she could make her way back to the house, and no he wouldn’t be there, but she would be…. and the joy of making a home filled with love and laughter, void of the frustrations and disappointments of a “dream” gone bad, would be the making of another chapter, in a world full of promise.

Storms happen…………but they don’t last…………….. Sometimes we have to leave the past behind…….. and move on into the sunshine of another………moment in time.

on the road again

November 4, 2015

Ar this time of year,

the fall colour beckons

the call is mysterious and haunting

the sky no matter,what time of day

can’t hide the magnificent display

of Mother Nature’s awesome art

she uses every ruse at her command

to tantalize and entice us

by hooking up to all our senses

Like a spider she spins her web

we don’t even see, or notice… till it is done’

the intricate pattern, the ability to create such beauty

with such methodical precision yet delicate and balanced

we really are, part of a master plan
our reality and observations

change from day to da

so no matter where we are,

where we go

nature is all around us

ok, taking off to enjoy the day

you coming?

and NO.. this is not a selfie

a quiet walk

November 3, 2015

learning to walk with God

to be aware that every step you take

every movement you make

any direction you decide to follow

will bring you closer to your goal

what goal? maybe you are not aware

that you even have one

but somewhere, buried deep

in the recesses of your inner Being

there is a solid reason

why, even in the crowded streets

or busy by ways

you feel a longing, even a need

at times, for a quiet moment,

a time where you say, please..

give me one moment to myself

we must sincerely apply our hearts to understanding

that God is the air we breathe, the life the flows within our veins

no matter you disbelieve, you are alive,

therefore you ARE..

Accepting and nurturing the person you ARE

that is a challenge we face

Till from this earth we part, with just a trace

of a memory by those who walked along

beside or with us on our journey

the day will come

when our days and nights become one

we will ride the mighty dragon

far into the Universe

our quiet walk

will have begun

Namaste – Oyashikiri

celebrate life

embrace love

Happiness is

you/me

we are

ONE

remember there are always two sides

November 2, 2015

Did you have to look twice. Photographer Seth Casteel is the photographer that captured these wonderful pctures of dogs underwater. In combination with the under water currents, mixed with his skills using his high speed camera, he was able to transform our darling little love cuddles, into aquatic fur hounds.

There is something mesmerizing about the pictures.. I look at them and see the happy smiles.. of the dogs in action, their anticipation of the catch. Dogs do love having fun, and many of them love the fetch and catch played with their owners. What we don’t see is the owners, their human getting them revved up and then tossing the ball into the water so they’ll dive in to retrieve it. Our first Porti was like that.. she loved the water and she loved to fetch.. she would egg you on all day, there was no tiring her out if there was water nearby, or a ball.

The photographer, Seth Casteel is on Facebook .. the article I found on his work was back in 2012.. so I can’t be sure if it is still up, nor was I able to get a web addy. But my hat is off to this artist… his creativity and patience to go underwater and get these pictures.. well… I say… bravo and thank you.

In life, we have to grab the moment, seize the day so to speak…. we only go around once, we only get to live the day once… and no two days are ever alike.. the endless possibilities.. are beyond categorizing. A friend I met up with, was very upset and angry at himself.. he had let someone else ruin his “day” As humans we think too much, we want to dissect and rethink everything. Eventually he got past it.. it wasn’t a mistake, because he learned from his experience.

I learned something too. I learned that guys hurt just as much as we do when they are wronged, It is not that I didn’t know that.. but.. it wasn’t top of mind. it is not only guys who can be the person doing wrong, so can the woman Being a woman, I hear all about how so and so, was this and that…. or how the marriage ended because…. and usually for me it was always the man’s fault.

There is no such thing as someone else’s fault. WE make our choices, and we are responsible for our own actions and decisions. No matter what the story is.. there is always another version. Somewhere in between lies the truth.. and even then.. it depends on the telling.

When our dog pals, are with us.. they are happy just sharing time with us.. when we want to play they are over joyed.. “come on, Fetch” and the sight of a ball whizzing past them is irresistable, they are off and running. they don’t cogitate on what does he want me to do.. they see the ball, hear the words and they are gone.. propelled by the moment, and the thrill of sharing that moment with their “human/partner”

Sharing time with another person,can be so rewarding, it all begins with respecting the other person’s unique individuality, and sincerely wanting to be with them. If honesty of intention is not at the core of the friendship, then it is doomed from the start.

Love is life.

Let love touch your heart today.

Pumpkins

October 30, 2015

This is a wonderful time of year

get to wear the autumn gear

like vests and boots

high boots, calf boots, low boots
one thing about October 31st is that always

in so, so many ways

what people come up can be such a hoot

It is incredible how much creativity comes out when it comes to food

even I was spooked at this next treat I’m offering up

Halloween, the holiday that has overtaken many others

and leaves the untethered imagination of all who craft

a way to express their creative flair with ideas that blast

out and crash with ooohss and ahs that

wake the ghosts of years past

parties, get togethers, gatherings

oh the fun, people shopping for costumes, makeup

and all that is weird, wonderful and spoooooky

from Atilla the hun to Casper the ghost
anything is possible on Hallows Eve**

I hope the night is dark

that your car is parked

safe and sound

and that you are ever ready

for the adventures of the coming party

the trick will be, to stay away

from all the visitors, the ghosts and goblins

that will appear out of the night on you this day

you can’t even run away

the spirit of Halloween is everywhere

the only place you’ll be safe

is in your bed….

LOL guess it depends on who slides into bed with you..

maybe….

Halloween is All-Hallows‘-Eve which is the night-before-All-Saints’- Day.

bom dia…bon jour…. hello!

October 29, 2015

life itself is simple

it really is

it is the human mind

that complicates

what IS

I am sometimes at a loss

not necessarily for words

but for the “music” or visual if you like

to accompany the words

in life, there is always a positive and a negative

you cannot have one

without the other

one person speaks, the other listens

the start of a conversation

one sees something, and captures it on film/photo

they have already seen it,

what they are doing is capturing the moment

to share, to show, to express

one picture, a thousand stories

not one person wil have the same reaction

however, we will each have a unique response

if we stop long enough

to allow the moment to speak to us

Model T Ford truck

October 28, 2015

Be still my heart

what is it about the past that makes my heart do double flips

I see an old vintage car or truck on the road

and I’m totally smitten and want to get a better look

someone has toiled and laboured… beyond a doubt that machine is loved

the vehicle is totally refurbished, and proudly driven

what is it .. that not only I, but many others

find so fascinating and worth hours and hours of

dedicated time and often cost without a second thought

to satsifying our passion for a vehicle long past its prime

I’ve driven by old forgotten garages, on out-of-the-way

and long forgotten highways… we see the closed and boarded up shops

where once people from all around, drove miles to patronize

and now… these shops, and services, on streets in small towns

that are no longer on a busy thoroughfare

sit bare, empty, and often forlorn, with not hope of being reclaimed

The merchants, the florists, the cafe owners, all their hopes and dreams have faded

and finally died… forcing them to close up.. and move on…

yet the cars and trucks of yesteryear .. left to rust and be reclaimed by nature.

or sent to their rest in rows upon rows of burnt out metal and chrome

are sought out and given new life… by men and women who want to recapture what was.

Something holds us to the past, not only the vehicles

but the empty barns, farmhouses, abandoned buldings

already,I alone, have collected over 3000 pins (Pinterest) from other

pinners who have a strong penchant for what was….. and i am a mere novice

I believe that what holds us to the past, and has us besotted is a four letter word

L O V E

Love is a high, it is delicious, it is wonderful

but, it can also hurt and leave one scarred

when we feed our passion that needs expression,

focusing on an inanimate object

it can be so much more satisfying

and we can see the results of our hard work and devotion

hunks of metal, shiny chrome, yeah, they can make me thrill

but a good friend, a trusted friend,

a monent shared with another human being
now that is a truly special gift, whether miles apart or right beside you

love that is sincere, love that is pure. love that is given without condition

that is a connecting energy of past,present and future

it is everlasting and eternal.

You are loved, loved, loved.

locked inside, looking out (this read is not for everyone)

October 26, 2015

Again this could be upsetting.. if you are sensitive to the plight of others.. read no further.

Depression is something that comes out of nowhere, and often it can go undiagnosed. It isn’t till something unpleasant” happens that we are forced to face something we have not wanted to address.

Did you know.. that at one time if a woman was considered to not be taking care of her husband properly he could have her shipped out to a psych ward for an “attitude adjustment”

What the picture above is showing is a woman wearing a face mask that was part of the conditioning. It was believed that if a woman saw herself smiling it would become natural… this was often accompanied by shock treatment. I’ll let that sink it.. archaic ? I’m sure some of us could really get into this subject alone.

I don’t think a day goes by where I don’t read or hear about some very negative incidents that happen in the world due to “”mental health” issues. It is all around us, and it begins at an early age. As a health care professional, we work with many many different forms of “health issues” .. the unease of the mind & body are constantly surfacing around us. How do we cope, how do we adjust to the unhappiness, dis-ease- and negativity that plague society today.

Life is what we make it.. right? Not always, when someone is depressed, anxious, and totally bummed out… they are not thinking with a clear health mind.. they are dealing with an illness, something beyond their control. They are not in this state by choice, they are dealing the cards dealt them. Whether young, or old, when they are placed in or on a ward that requires safety steps be put in place. Double sets of doors. Visitors can come in, and only allowed visitors at times, not just anyone.. Visitors can leave, but they are left behind the locked doors.

The pressures of life are never easy to juggle if you are bombarded continuously with one problem after another. What can we do, how can we help others to cope.. Before we can really benefit someone else. WE really have to begin with ourselves. No one, not one person , has ever been without a negative thought, a compelling lure of self-doubt.. or unease about something or someone. Imagine if those moments had intensified, gotten out of control, IF we had not had someone to speak with, be with, or connect with.

A hospital is a hospital, no matter how nice you dress it up, paint the walls, or clean the floors. It is a cold clinical environment. If you have occasion to visit someone in hospital.. the best gift you can bring, is a genuine love and sincere wish for their recovery. This is a precious gift, unique to you and the person receiving it. Wrap it with a warm loving hug and a big heartfelt smile.

Love and laughter will fill a bleak room with sunshine, and thought you may think it is not noticed.. believe me, the receiver will feel it, and it will stay with them, long after you’ve left.

God,Nature,TAo, Divine HIgher Power, whatever you call the life-giving force within, is without measure, and without definition. Love, pure unconditional love is force like no other. a smile that begins from within and radiates out to the world……………………is awesome. Share a smile today. Please... today I missed my chance, I was in an elevator full of people, and i didn’t smile. it is not easy, I will try harder tomorrow.
