Post something good!!

So our power was out overnight. We had a fireplace that kept us pretty warm.

My husband has a rechargable battery at work strong enough to run a few appliances for a short while. Not a generator, but we could have run a hotplate if needed.

His place of work was designated as a Red Cross shelter for homeless or those without heat. When he went to his office he was asked how we were doing, what our situation was, etc. They loaded him down with hot food for us, even though he told him we were ok. They were especially concerned about our son (2 1/2) and wanted to make sure he had milk.

It was just a little thing, but it touched me all the same. I couldn't help feeling a little guilty taking food when others were in much worse shape then we were.

So that's my good thought for the day.:)

It is so nice when others reach out to help others expecting nothing in return but to know they have perhaps made someone's life a little less trying. :) Hope everything is doing OK for you.

LOL, last summer I moved about 5 miles down the road and that was enough for several years to come.

But I am excited for you Sierra.:)
 
I get to see some friends today!!:)

"Beautiful Day"

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day
 
Thank you Catalina and red... i'm moved in, kinda... most of my stuff is here, but it's kind of strewn all over the place. i'm hoping to have everything together by tomorrow evening.

Today is play day.. not doing anything but watching movies all day with friends!! :)
 
It's always good to have lunch with friends and spend some quality time with the one I love.
 
Spring has sprung, and with it has come a lifting of the massive depression which clouded my world for so long, renewed positive energy and inspiration, my art displayed on a BDSM site, and it seems much encouragement from many others for me to apply myself to my writing and working towards getting something published in the real world. Add to that a certain Master making some big decisions which promise positive outcomes, and it seems our world has changed drastically in a short space of time. I hope others have also experienced positive vibes with the changing season.

Edited to add, I need to give thanks for a mother who thinks of the simplist things to bring the biggest smile to my dial. I collected the mail to find a parcel with some classic Australian magazines she had sent...one I never would have bought while living there, but now made me overjoyed at the anticipation of sitting for hours pouring over all the Australianisms, the icons that just happened to be in these particular issues in abundance, the pages and pages of recipes and gossip, and best of all, crosswords in English....my first in over a year!!! I am happy, happy, happy.:D

It's forgeting the rest of the world...
It's wanting what you already have...
It's envying the woman in the mirror...
It's your signature...
(that's from an add but it's printed in pink on the center of a page and has pink flowers lightly scattered on the page... if you vut off hte bottom where the advertizer's name is it's quite pretty... i have it next to my door so when i walk out i see it.)
 
Yay!! A certain Master has come home with a copy of 2 more recently published pieces of his writing to surprise me with...and here I thought he just wanted me to wait on him (though that is expected) when he asked for his bag!! Shame on me. :D I am so proud of him.

Maternity leave is good.:)



Ty Catalina for resurrecting the thread. I like the positive energy.:rose:
 
A beautiful Chinese (I think) proverb I heard this week....hope I get the wording right:

'Though we may all take a different path to the top of the mountain, once there the view of the moon will be the same'.

Something that made me smile..

mari rose and the Wonder Munchkin (her neice) and me dancing in the living room in swimsuits while we sing "Supernateral" by Santana.. It was a fun fun day...
 
Brought home from the local shelter a beautiful cat that's about two years old. She's such a sweetie too.
