Well worth reading, just wanted to share, PLEASE BE SURE TO READ "THE PUPPET"

"If for a moment God would forget that I am a rag doll and give me a scrap of life, possibly I would not say everything that I think, but I would definitely think everything that I say............"

Remembering Daddy

Playing with daddy was a treasure,
He wasn’t around much,
Daddy was in the army, but
When he was home, he would
Play horsie with my sis and I,

We’d load up our motorcycles
And spend the day in the woods.
He would take us places and do
Things with us, be in charge of
An over nite party for sis,
he was not only my daddy,
but my very best friend.

Now I have a son of my own,
About 2 now, full of energy
And always on the move
The world is his anew, to
Explore, wonder and sigh
Looking, touching in awe
Of the wonders and mysterious
Things to see and learn

Daddy loves us, doesn’t
Have to say a word, you can
Feel it, just in his presence.
He is always so kind and gentle
Loving in all things.

Truly a guardian angel for
All of our family

We love you daddy forever and always!

(Dedicated to my husband and son)

Memories of you

Memories of you

In the misty moon light
Fireflies so busy buzzing,
Lights in the distances
Shine ever so brightly

Cool temps now upon us
Now to snuggle by the open fires
Sipping coffee or cider with those we love
Enjoying the memories of years past and
Good friends who will always last.

In our hearts forever more
To cherish and treasure always,
Am so happy you are in my life.

When flowers blossom again
And fragrances all anew
Will keep reminding me again,

of you.

Betrayals, another "form" of abuse

Being lead to believe you have a friend, only to discover, it was never, in the first place, betrayals of friendship can be so devastating and painful, one tends to crawl back into their own cocoon(so to speak), the feeling of being ignored, ostracized, for reasons NOT explained, told in so few words, "get out of my life, never want to hear from you again", and NOT knowing why??? is so cold and cruel, so why bother or even make an effort to reach out to anyone, for the fear of yet, another rejection, another betrayal by another, yet, "so called" "friend".With this happening over and over again, bringing on terrible bouts of depression, to the point at times, one feels they just do not care anymore, about anything or anyone, slipping into chronic depression to the point, going days without sleep, baths, personal hygiene, wandering aimlessly, but yet still wanting so desperately to be accepted, for who they are and what they have become, wondering what did they do or say, to bring about such coldness and cruelty?? How could one possibly ever trust again? No one will ever understand, until/unless they have "walked in those shoes".

~~On This Day~~

On this day, Mend a quarrel, Search out a forgotten friend.
Dismiss suspicion, and replace it with trust. Write a love letter.
Share some treasure. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth!!
Manifest your loyalty in a "word or deed".

Keep a "promise". Find the time. Forego a grudge. Forgive an enemy.
Listen. Apologize if you were wrong. Try to understand. Flout envy.
Examine your demands on "others". Think first of someone else.
Appreciate, be kind, be gentle, Laugh a little MORE.

Deserve confidence. Take up arms against malice. Decry complacency.
Express your graditude. Worship your God. Gladden the heart of a child.
Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth.

Speak your love. Speak it again. Speak it still again. Speak it still once again.
