Betrayal

I end the year of 2007 with betrayal.

Not a good feeling.

You see the knives coming for you.

You wrap your arms over your face to protect yourself.

Your thoughts and your feelings are distorted as the flesh of your brain is torn apart.

All kind thoughts are gone.

Dreams and hopes are gone.

And memories torture you.

Pity turns your stomach green.

Tomorrow you go to work, you put a smile on your face, and nobody ever knows.

Talent

"Wheel in the Sky keeps on turning, don't know where I'll be tomorrow!" Yeah, like you all wanted to hear me sing.

Here we are on the last Friday of the year. Thought I'd throw a question at you. If you were to stand before God and he asked you "Have you used all the talents that I gave you?" What would be your answer?

My answer would be NO! I don't think I could even come up with a great story to explain myself. I am going to give myself credit and state that at 43 years of age I'm still a work in progress. I've figure out a few things but still have a long list to work on. The question still rocks my world and makes me think about goals I should set for myself. I hate the word "goals". Most people set unreachable goals or just over simple ones. Let's face it using all the talents you've been given is a pretty wide goal.

Word to the wise, always use your talents for good.

Last word today: They shouldn't have shot the woman!

Hi all. No I didn't forget about you. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Trinity sure did. Me, well remember I'm working retail, so don't ask. Oh but a secret I learned this year, Women hide how much they spend from their husbands by paying cash. LOL Ladies, Ladies, Ladies!

So some of you think the Holidays with out a foot of snow sounds wonderful. Trust me there is a balance to everything. You all are praying for no more snow while I'm praying not to get Cedar Fever. Balance!

Last words today: They shouldn't have killed the Tiger.

Snow

How do you explain to a little girl that it doesn't snow in Texas? There are a few blogger's out there bitching about to much snow this morning.

Snow is perfect.

I makes us slow down and take a breathe. It dazzles us with it's sparkling shimmer and makes us show respect because of it's dangerous resolve.

This time of year my heart aches to walk at night in the snow. To feel the peace and tranquility.

Lights

Whole lot of Christmas shoved in a tiny little space kind of sums up the season at times. Maybe that's why the story of the Christmas star inspires me. Following the guiding light of our lives and not letting the trivial crap bog us down is very hard at times.

So here's to finding that light and may it bring all of us Goodness and Joy!


Oh...By the way....my stats show people have been looking up my crazy story from last year. LOL

So here's a link to Stories from the Ice Castle

Thankful

Does God ever talk to you? Well Monday he smacked me in the back of the head.

After reading Walkers anti-American bullshit and dealing with my own life I wrote my crazy Monday thoughts. Ok, so I was feeling sorry for myself. I'm tired. Then I met this woman who was in a car accident about 3 years ago and was just now able to get around. Being tired ain't shit compared to that. I laughed as tears ran down my face and said "I hear you Lord, I hear you!"

Have a Great Thanksgiving!

To RJ, Lauren and Tony!
I love you while your gone! Peace Out!

Mondays Thoughts

How's the phrase go " If you can't be part of the solution then shut the hell up!" Yeah, I think that's how that goes.

Yes, I've got a case of the Monday's!

Somedays life is so bloody hard that I really don't know how anyone could live to be 90 years old. Now I might have these crazy thought because I worked over 12 hours yesterday and sent over 6 hours at a hospital on Saturday. Today I get to deal with a plumber.

I keep telling myself that Thursday will come. Then I can eat turkey, drink a glass of wine and say what I'm Thankful for. Today my thankful level is a little low and my being shit on level is too high. Hell I guess it all works out in the end.

Be safe...

I feel bad but I feel better.....

I'm sick!
Tell ya something that you didn't already know, right?
I hope I feel better by next week.
Can you believe next week is Thanksgiving?

I saw Mr. Sad yesterday and he's doing better. He thanked me for caring enough about him, a stranger, to worry. Being kind to strangers is the only way we will survive. Being kind is not scary it's smart.

Do you Tell?

Do you tell people in your day to day life about your Blog? Ok, so I feel stupid when I share that fun fact about myself. The best part is that some have no clue what I'm talking about. LOL

Yes, the Colts lost tonight! That's ok! When it really counts they are going to win, you know just like last year!

This time change thing is messing with me. That and I remembered that I'm 3 pay checks from Christmas.

.....Drugs someone please give me be happy drugs...... or send beer...

The Witch at the Bridge.

As Racheal Finn hung dry herbs in the rafters of her little cottage she heard horse hoves pounding across a near bridge. She walked over to the window to see who was coming down the lane. Four men from town on horse back were approaching her cottage. She quickly walked to her fire place to put the kettle on so she could offer them some herbal tea. The herbs simple flowers and leaves would be Racheals undoing. For the men guided by Max McFarlin had come to acuse Miss Finn of witchcraft. Poor Racheal had given McFarlin's wife a herbal tea for some stomach pain which caused her to have a miscarriage. Mrs. McFarlin didn't want to have any more children so she didn't bother telling Racheal Finn that she was pregnant.

One of the other men held the hangman's noose while McFarlin knocked on the door. Racheal brushed her hands on her apron, placed a smile on her face and answered the door. Her smile brought the rage bubbling over in McFarlin. He grabbed her by the hair pulling her through the yard and down to the bridge. She begged him to let her go and she begged the other men to help her but they didn't. The rope went around her neck as tears ran down her face. McFarlin and his men cheered that there was one less witch in the world as Racheal Finn's lifeless body swang by the neck underneath the bridge.

Years later McFarlin took his wife on a carriage ride across that same bridge. Right as they past the bridge Mrs. McFarlin started screaming uncontrolable. They say what mind she had was lost after crossing that bridge. Some say Racheal the Witch made her see her lying heart.

So on this Halloween Night be careful while crossing bridges if you have a lying heart.

Happy Halloween
