“We can never turn back the pages of time, though we may wish to relive a happy moment, or say goodbye just one last time, we never can, because the sands of time continue to fall, and we can’t turn the hourglass over.”
“Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.”
~Herman Hesse
You Are Stronger Than You Think
"You are stronger than you think, remember to stand tall.
Every challenge in your life helps you to grow.
Every problem you encounter strengthens your mind and your soul.
Every trouble you overcome increases your understanding of life.
When all your troubles weigh heavily on your shoulders, remember that beneath the burden you can stand tall, because you are never given more than you can handle... and you are stronger than you think."
Since I am going techie with my new phone I think I will be blogging again. My only problem is TIME... But I do miss blogging. I miss experimenting with poetry. I miss expressing or exploiting the creative side of my brain. Hmmmm... Soon I hope... Especially that tomorrow will mark another anniversary for my blog. ♥☆♡
Yesssss, I'm back... for good, I hope. I must admit I got distracted by Facebook. I missed blogging though so I decided it's time for me to start writing again.
I will have to check out all those poetry memes I used to join. I missed them a lot.
My blog celebrated its fourth year anniversary last October 8. *Woot* This is the best time for me to resume blogging... and probably start spreading sunshine again. Maybe not as often as I used to but you'll definitely be seeing more of me now...
When I started this blog, I had no expectations at all. What I needed was an outlet... a place of my own where I could freely vent my emotions. Back then, this blog was dark- black, gray and white. Now it's splashed with colors. Exactly two years in existence and the sun continues to shine. To all my blog friends who supported and encouraged me in more ways than one, thank you so much!
Today also marks another anniversary... the day when sunshine walked into my life. A gift of second chance. I am forever grateful! :)
"How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home..."
On January 25, 2005, I lost my husband. Welcome to my random thoughts about losing James and finding myself again. For in this journey called Life, "there is no such thing as a negative experience... only opportunities to grow."

And so, once again
I speak to you of the rat--
the bachelor rat--
who visits my garage.
He is a good rat,
even a fine one as rats go.
Never once has he l...

WW is a simple blog post featuring a photo which conveys a message that
speaks for itself without using words. For all the rule breakers, of which
I am one...
Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you decide to see beyond the imperfections.
"Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward to the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage and confidence." ~ Og Mandino
If I could wish for my life to be perfect, it would be tempting, but I would have to decline, for life would no longer teach me anything.
"For I know the
plans I have for
you," declares
the Lord, "plans
to prosper you
and not to harm
you, plans to give
you hope and a
future."
Jeremiah 29:11-14
