Just shooting the poop with Lori |
|
He travels the world on the backs of others Insignificant in his stature and size His journey carries no mission Randomly roaming at the will of his host Sated enough to never question his trek Life is an open adventure without worry If the excitement of his dusty trail dulls Another bus awaits to grant passage With a furry friend to carry him home Ah the wonderful life of a flea |
| He put his hand on my arm and it was the most comforting gesture of love. It was gentle but insistent. He pulled me towards him wanting nothing but love and affection. He stared into my eyes pleading for a connection of our hearts. The beseeching look of agony displayed by the moisture was visible in his eyes. He wanted all that I had to offer and would be sated by whatever I could give. His imploring tug at my arm grew stronger as the whining sound of his cries grew louder He wanted my love so badly. Poor Dimitri, he hadn't seen me in all of ten minutes while he had been outside. I love this dog's way of letting me know that he missed me. |
| Being satisfied with life is often frowned upon, as if there is nothing more to accomplish. It seems as if you have thrown in the towel if you admit to being satisfied with life. To most people, satisfied represents a dull and tarnished ring as a prize and they are taught to believe only the shiny brass ring has value. They seem to miss the worth that comes of being sated. It doesn't mean that there are no more dreams to dream. Satisfied, means only that you have worked a lifetime to surround yourself with the things and the people that sate you. It means that a thousand pennies can bring as much wealth as a million when shared with loved ones. It means that dreams shared are often more important than ones attained. From the outside looking in, to some people our window may be streaked or unadorned, and to others our window may portray grandeur of the hearts greatest desire.Satisfaction is as consequential and individualized as the journey itself. But with the wisdom of age, the fulfillment list is narrowed. The things that we believed would sustain us in our twenties have become leaves that blow away in the wind.And part of the joy of achieving satisfaction is taking the time to revel in its joy. |
| Long time no blog peeps. It has been a rough week with work and no sleep. Pulling the every other night schedule is intense. People who do not work nights will never understand the strain on the body and soul of the nurse trying to flip from days to nights at the drop of the hat. i am zombie-like most of my hours. Hoodies and sweat pants are my friends. Prepare to be blasted with a foghorn if you ring my doorbell before noon. My dogs have a very specific elimination schedule based on my sleep cycles.I have never managed to train my family members about calling while I sleep I have received calls at ten in the morning asking why I am still asleep. At that point I have been snoozing for only one hour and it is always a toss up on whether my reply will be printable material. Night-shifters are a different breed. We may seem like cranky crustaceans but if you befriend us we are tried and true loyal pals til the end. I have yet to meet one of us who carried a stick in the nether regions while we walk! |
| Heading to a wedding for one of my son's friend. There is nothing that marks the passage of time like events such as these. The children, they once were, no longer exist. They are all people with lives of their own. There is sadness in the reality of this, but pride in knowing that you had a hand in this outcome. I will certainly shed some tears today, but I will surely hug my son,(one of the groomsmen) a little tighter. His day will come sooner than I want but he will be ready for the gifts life has to offer. |
| Winter is back and I'm not having it! So, I sit on my deck in my two piece swimsuit catching the rays of cloud cover. I am content with my island induced dreams and illusions.I will not shiver or shake from the nippy winds that blast me. In my make-believe paradise, they are the balmy winds of beach life.The sleet falling from the sky are truly the faint spraying of mist-filled drops from the sea. The snowy ground cover in my yard is the sandy surroundings of my beach I catch the peering eyes of my neighbors from behind the curtains as they question my sanity. The squirrels still hiding their winter nuts are the ones that are nuts! I do plan on wringing the neck of a certain groundhog. |
| Is anybody else sick of the impeachment hoopla? Doesn't matter what side of the road that you stand on, each one looks like a child throwing temper tantrums. The political name calling and snubbing is disrespectful and embarrassing for our country and most importantly to our youth.When one thinks of setting an example, this isn't what comes to mind. Working together will be quite difficult for the future with the lines so indelibly drawn . So many problems to deal with while leaders argue about the size of their organs and monkeys. We will move swiftly to the political fall out of this drama to the election arena, where the hate will be publicized minute by minute. We will be inundated by commercials, print ads, and phone calls to vote for the better candidate. but I have yet to witness any of them behaving like true representatives of the people. They are all looking for their 5 minutes of fame on the dime they've been given. Shame on them for the display we've been forced to attend! We must all remember the friends that we've know and loved through the years are still our friends. The vote they cast is not what brought you together. Put aside the political views and live the best life that you can. Teach your kids moral responsibility and compassion. Parents should be the role models by stepping above the clowns in Washington and working to solve the problems in our community. . |
| Yes, the human body is a beautiful thing. It is an amazing and graceful element of nature. There are millions of tasks the body performs without awareness. Neurons pulsate and signals are sent. A charismatic response of sinewy nerve endings rush to stimulate the fibers in their network. Cells open and close allowing nutrients in and pushing them forward. Blood flows in a sensual and rhythmic fashion The human suitcase is the ultimate in machinery. With all of that being said, J-Lo cover it up! The billed as, family oriented halftime show, was not to my liking. The singing and music were good. The choreography was remarkable. The scantily clad women were unneeded. The show could have been just as effective and awe inspiring with the ladies wearing more clothing. The crotch shots were uncalled for. And to involve the kids in the show was tasteless. My daughter is a dancer, so i know what it takes to put on a show of this magnitude. It is hard work but the costumes can easily be selected to reflect some modesty and decorum, without loosing the concept of the dance. There is beauty in the art of dance, but there is romance in the classical portrayal of its grace. |
| Ah, Super Bowl Sunday,you have arrived! Hut 2, Hike one, throw it to the other one and toss it your crew. Not exactly a football fan here but a celebratory fan of chips and dips. I like the food, every last crumb.With the television muted, i will be cramming the party food into my face. Yeah team, Go team. Team Food, you are my favorite. Please pass the Super-sized Bowl this way! |
