Snow, Snow Come Back Again...

Longing for the Snow again. LI has been hotter
than you know what this Summer!!!

HEALTH MESSAGE ALERT!

If walking is good for your health, the Postman
would be immortal.

A Whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks
lots of water and is fat!

A Rabbit runs and hops, but only lives 15 years!

A Tortoise DOESN'T RUN, BARELY WALKS
AND DOES NOTHING, yet lives for 450 years.

And then, my doctor wants ME TO EXERCISE???

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

With Faith My Answer Is...

The evening is grim
with shadows whispering
quietly amongst themselves,
secrets of the darkened night
hidden in the outline of a willow

Quiet is the moment as
currents stir with movement,
buzzing along the curvatures of
the foliage lined path that longs
to live beyond their dark haven

Can’t light come to thee?
Can’t streams of bright beckoned
suddenly appear for the moment?
Can’t in an instant there be a promise?
A light for tomorrow?

I shan’t be bewildered for it is
with faith my answer is - yes

God ~ Shows Us His Love

"May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

May you use the gifts that you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us."

Multitude of Feelings

Happy,
head
spinning
round and round
dizzy from
excitement,
joy,
laughter.

Crying,
overwhelmed
tears of joy,
anticipating
happiness
coming,
wishing it
to never go
away.

Loving,
full heart
sharing
with others
hugging,
kissing,
spreading all
good things
to…

the world.

Update on Gracie...

Gracie
has been
in for
1 week.
She had
1 minor
Asthma
attack
last Wed.


I guess the culprit to her attacks was her going outside with the grass and the plants!!! She is handling being inside very well. I did carry her out to say hello to the neighbors, just for a moment tonight. She seems to be a happy girl again...

UPDATE: 07-12-11
Gracie has had no attacks and is on meds every other day.
What a relief to have her under control. She has been inside
and seems Ok with it. She even is a little bit more frisky than
her usual self. She can't go outside anymore! rg

A Childhood Carousel

Round and round I go
swirling and twirling
as the stationery horses
enjoy their perfect ride

Carousel of dreams
consume my mind as
I remember the days
of long ago childhood

Wild romping
on my horse of black
nostrils houses his hot breath
as he runs steadily round
and round in circles

Joyous sounds came
from my throat as I heard
the whinny from my steed
‘faster, go faster’ I cried -

as a Childhood Carousel
filled my heart with glee
Author's Note:

As a child I don't remember ever riding on a Carousel.
I was too busy riding 'real horses' on our cattle ranch.
Strange how simple this poetry was for me to write...rg
