| April 21, 2019 Goodmorning, Praise Him...He has risen. The resurrection is a wonderful blessing our Lord has given us. He went to the cross so that we could have ever lasting life. I pray your day to day is filled with Him, knowing you can have His blessings day in and day out and that you are a part of His blessed family who will be resurrected to His kingdom. |
| April 17, 2019 I just wanted to use this format, today, to thank everyone at Writing.com for their support in responding to my questions when I have had difficulty trying to figure out something, i.e. ,codes especially. Everyone has been to nice and helpful. It is always a pleasure working with like minded people; folks who have similar interests as in writing as there is a professionalism that stands out and the sharing of talents that each and everyone has. It so refreshing to be able to share ideas, here, and feel that it is okay to have a different opinion and not be attached concerning the opinion. This is not always true with many platforms, such as one big one I will not name. Anyways, THANKS TO ALL OF YOU for your support. Seabreeze |
| April 16, 2019 This week brought back a memory I had not given thought to in years. It is the book Ramona by Helen Hunt Jackson. To be truthful, I never read the book until after I actually saw the outdoors pageant. Living in Riverside, California most of my young life, everyone in town know about the annual performance of Ramona, performed in Hemet, California. The play is usually done this time of the year in April. In fact, the first performance was April 13, 1923. No, I am not that old. I saw my first play of Ramona back in the early seventies. But, it was so fascinating, that it stuck with me to this day. The play is performed outside, up in the hills and usually in warm weather. It is held over three consecutive weekends in April and May. There were, I remember, wild flowers and the excitement of the actors/actresses, horses, all the commotion going on, it is just so much fun to be there. For those who do not know about the story of Ramona, it is a love story between Ramona, an orphaned half-Native American and half-Scottish, who was adopted by Senora Moreno, a Mexican-American woman; and Alessandro, son of Pablo Assis, the chief of the Temecula Indian tribe. This story has so much history native to not only California, but the area of Riverside and Temecula. Helen Hunt Jackson was an author and reformer. Born in 1830, Helen (born Helen Maria Fiske) was an American poet and writer who became an activist on behalf of improved treatment of Native Americans by the United States government. Helen was friends with Emily Dickinson. Helen married Major, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers / Inventor of an early submarine, who was the first U.S. military submarine fatality at the early age of 41. I hope you will consider reading Ramona or maybe some of Helen's poetry shared at the following site: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/helen-hunt-jackson Thanks for stopping by! Seabreeze |
| April 13, 2019 I wanted to talk to you folks, today, about stuff. Do you suffer from stuff? I mean, I am not a pack rat or anything like that. But, I do have too much stuff. I like to read, paint with acrylics and watercolors (that explains a lot right there), crochet, and occasionally when the grand kids come, we make things, so of course one has to have a few empty containers around for projects, right?? That's me! But, lately, at age 73, it is starting to get to me. I am not as organized as I use to be and I hate putting things back after I have had my fun! So, I have decided I need to scale down a bit. I even have books that need to go and magazines I must pass on. So, stuff......well, George Carlin can explain it better than me: Sorry for the minor cursing..but, get past that, it is well listening to: https://youtu.be/MvgN5gCuLac Now, if you can help me with all of my STUFF, I appreciate with your contributions: Seabreeze |
| April 10, 2019 In live in Utah where anything goes with the weather. Today it is snowing. Monday I was working out in my yard. So, my point is that I am trying to keep spring in front of me and I do so by painting (my iris below). Along with my iris and want to share my poem of My Color Blue: My Color Blue Bright, brilliant, royal and majestic Paints, diamonds, jeans and the ocean Skies, flowers, eggs in a robin's nest Velvet sewed into a blue vest. Bearded irises of blue dancing in the wind Breath taking blue eyes passes you by Paul Bunyan and his Babe the Blue Ox Sapphires, one of many dazzling rocks. Berries so blue they stain your teeth Soft blue pastels for the wall in your den Nude girl tattoo on a sailor's body Some might consider it quite naughty. Various hues, solids and translucent Mood makers, mood breakers and those wonderful blues songwriters Even those poetic, aerobatic, Blue Angels jet fighters. Seabreeze 5.9.15 I hope spring is happening for you wherever you are! Seabreeze |

| Good morning everyone. Well, I am a day late in posting but I will not let that get in my way. I plan to blog every day but that does not always happen, especially on the weekends! Today, April 7, I would like to share a book with you, Jim Berg's Changed Into His Image - God's Plan For Transforming Your Life. This book has so much meat that I figure it will take me a good year or more to really take it all in. The book can be used as a teaching tool for pastors, teachers at church or just any believer who wants to better understand his purpose in life. Truly, even a non-believer could not go wrong with the principles laid out in this book. To give you a taste, here are a few mentioned chapters and sub-chapters: Restraining Your Flesh Identifying your own way Recognizing the evil within Renewing Your Mind Getting in touch with reality Searching for wisdom Reflecting Your Lord Being a God loving example more, and more great stuff... I hope you will check it out, See ya around, Seabreeze |
| April 5, 2019 I love Ventura, California and I miss it! I lived there from about 1993 to 2010 and moved only due to circumstances. My husband, Bruce was diagnosed with lung cancer and with only a few months to live. My only child, a son, lived in Utah with my two grandchildren and Bruce wanted us to go their and stay. So, we moved all of our belongings to a small community called Eagle Mountain, Utah. So, as I mentioned, I miss my old haunts and would like to share them here. I hope you will give this video a look. Toward the end, my son Michael, my husband Bruce and my first grandchild, Marissa appear in the video...at the boardwalk down by the pier. https://youtu.be/gois4ICv7D4 Enjoy, Seabreeze |
| April 3, 2019 Today I am going to share a old book off my shelf. I love to go to used book stores and browse what my be! And several years ago, I ran across a book by Grace Denio Litchfield. Gracce who was born on November 19, 1849 and passed on December 4, 1944. Grace was an American poet and novelist. Grace wrote from childhood, was rejected in early days of trying to get published but did not give up. I had never heard of her before seeing the book. I bought it for two reasons. One, it was signed by the author and appears to be first addition, and Two, printed in 1913, I could not resist. Grace wrote stories and poetry; I was attracted to the poetry. Here, I would like to share one with you. It is called My Other Me from a book by Grace called Collected Poems, published by G. P. Putman's Sons, New York, 1913. Children, do you ever In walks by land or sea, Meet a little maiden Long time lost to me? She is gay and gladsome, Has a laughing face, And a heart as sunny; And her name is Grace. Naught she knows of sorrow, Naught of doubt or blight, Heaven is just above her, All her thoughts are white. Long time since I lost her, That other Me of mine. She crossed into Time's shadow, Out of Youth's sunshine. Now the darkness keeps her, And call her as I will, The years that lie between us, Hide her from me still. I am dull and pain-worn, And lonely as can be. O children, if you meet her, Send back my other Me! Credits: Wikipedia and Collected Poems by Grace Denio Litchfield Thanks for letting me share, Seabreeze |
| April 2, 2019 Today was a good day to paint. I did a picture of a cove in acrylics. I am still working on it but so far I like it. Filling in all the detail for the rocks is my challenge. So, I have it set as if I am in the cove looking out. A little bit of sandy shore below and I will probably have the water splashing on the rocks below the cove. So much fun! Do you paint? Watercolors, oils or acrylics? Stop by and share. Seabreeze ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
