An Old Irish Blessing ... May the road rise up to meet you.May the wind always be at your back.May the sun shine warm upon your face,and rains fall soft upon your fields.And until we meet again,May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

"It is said some lives are linked across time. There are certain people connected by an ancient calling that echoes through the ages....destiny."

Life is a fleeting moment. Why live life in moderation and control when it lasts so short a time. Love until you drown in the happiness, laugh until the air you breath escapes you, cry until your tears are dry and live like the next second death will take your soul. Life is yours to live, and live it you must, not in the fear of what is to come next. That Next Place is waiting for you. It waits, in the hope that you will come fulfilled and ready, not in longing and regret.

Wishing you a wonderful new week..Like little birds, we only fly when we get shaken out of our nests; and develop the strongest wings only when we try them against the wind. The dove in a fable, was perturbed because the wind ruffled its feathers, but without that air it could neither soar nor live. In struggle, it is prudent to not wish away every opposition. It is better to meet and master our difficulties that faith can be made stronger through conflict.~Leroy Brownlow~With much love allways

Do you believe in dreams ...

Have you dreamt then the next morning you remember everything and wonder what it all meant. I have had a few "very real" dreams lately, but this one had me a little worried. Background ... Father inlaw died of cancer more than 20 years ago, brother inlaw suffered from depression and committed the unthinkable a few years ago, and other uncle died a long time ago.

The phone finally woke me up after a few very short little rings, silence and then a another ring, dazed I answer, and it's the father inlaw saying I must go look amongst the uncle and brother inlaws clothes. But his voice is so faint and then the phone went dead. It starts ringing again just like before. I answer it again only this time it my motherinlaw, and she mumbles something to me, also in the same faint voice, then the phone dies. The phone starts bieping again but thank goodness I wake up for real and find the portable phone is still next to my dear husbands bed where he left it the night before, warning me the battery needs to be recharged.

Now my mom was born with the ability to see things and many times she was able to tell you stuff that could make your hair stand on end. So I called her (had to wait because of the time difference) and told her my dream. She says she still dreams every night but can't remember anymore which is a good thing. Anyways she going to call me after she calls Mother inlaw, and the funny thing is Trudi ,my sister inlaw said she also dreamt of the mother inlaw, very strange!!!

We do have an engagement announcement the same day, has it got anything to do with that?
Until nexttime

It's late but I just had to say Hi to everyone



It's been a long day and week and a few weeks, and I have missed ya all. Blogging has really become a great tool to express myself and like you would all know, a lot of my friends are all scattered over the world, not just my blogging friends. There is my dear friend Rosie who I plan to visit next time I head to SAfrica soon. Then Dalene in Irvine in the USA, we served on the Parents/Teacher committees together and we help as volenteers at a halfway home for women and family. My sister inlaw Trudi, who was my bridesmaid so many years ago, she's still in SA, she has a whole heap of medical problems. Just too mention a few ...

Cause of blogging, I have found a whole heap of new friends and maybe just maybe someday we could really meet and have a cup of coffee and cake together. Just like when Pippa from Down to Earth come from England to visit her daughters now living in Sydney. That was heaps of fun, I picked her up and we headed for the NewPort Arms Hotel right on the waterfront, with yaghts moored at the marina and the odd person walking their dog down by the river. We had lunch and had a great chat. And we will meet again next time Pippa comes visiting later this year. PS she's going to be a grandmother again soon.

Have you also found your have lots of acquantances but only a handfull of real friends.
A TRUE FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO SEES THE PAIN IN YOUR EYES WHILE EVERYONE ELSE BELIEVES THE FAKE SMILE .
