This is my first attempt to be a blogger. I hope to type a few items that you will enjoy.
I do not know where to begin with this description. The time period is from 0 to now. Please don't ask how long that is. I am sure with certain clues, you will be able to figure that out.
I am writing this on my favorite old computer at home. I have a computer room that doubles as a retreat for a few of my pets when they want to be alone.
I will cover mostly current thoughts. I hope to add some pictures as I have seen in a blog. I think that to do this sharing will take a lot of work, but the pictures I have seen are well worth it.
Occasionally, I might review a flashback in mylife. I have times when I just roll that special even around in my mind until it has every possible facet examined. Usually this time is to try to figure out a "what if" scenario.
If some of my items have no zest to it feel free to say so. I think that after I have some a few trial runs, then the real me will be out for all of the world to see. Luck you! As the saying goes, "Come with me and the best is yet to be."

From January 3rd about bridges


There are so many bridges one could talk about. Old, new, high, long, historical and famous. But there is one bridge that is in my heart. I have not used it but some friends of mine hasve used it.
I am thinking of he Rainbow Bridge that my dear fur baby friends have crossed after they have passed away. Mikie, my cat had seizures. Diamond, a dog, had a inoperable tumor behind his eye. Stubby, my dearest car, had an internal problem and had a stroke that gave him no hope. And then there are a few more that melted my heart.
It is hard to loose someone you rescued from the street or a high kill shelter. But the one thing I said was that as they went to sleep, to look for a light. Walk towards it and you will see a beautiful bridge. Cross it . You will see someone to greet you and show you around. It will be okay. This was the famous Rainbow Bridge that all animals can cross and be spiritually alive and without pain. And as I have read further, they can meet friends that they knew on the ‘other ‘ side. I told them that they would feel no pain. They could run and play. And if I could, I would visit them one day. I hope this is true and I will try to keep my promise.
Whether this is a myth or something seen in the subconscious, I hope that it is true. All animals should go to heaven. I hope they do.

A wonder of nature from the sky doth fall
The cold, beautiful snowflake
Can keep young and old in awe.

We see It’s beauty
Such white on the ground
It falls from the sky without a sound

How cold it is when we pick it up
The snow then melts
And can fit in a cup

No wonder a child will smile and make
HIs own special snowman
With its face that is great.

Jan.2 words. sixth. sprit. frozen. termination. January. elegance. sense. maneuvers


Gloria was the sweetest child in the family. She waited patiently to reach the sixth grade to be allowed to enter a sport of her choice. She had seen sisters do gymnastics and brothers do basketball. Her little eyes would sparkle at the amazing activities that each had participated in and won trophies and medals. She never complained or lost the spirit of support for her siblings. I was amazed at her patience.
This was her year. Her sisters begged her to do gymnastics. And her brothers suggested that she would make an excellent cheerleader. But I had the sense that she had made a decision that would make us all be proud of her.
Fortunately, we had aunts and uncles who volunteered to take driver’s duty for the clan. Aunt Charlene was single and just loved the opportunity to take a child to a class. Uncle Griffin was a high school basketball standout who could coach the boys in shooting skills.
But when Gloria was ready, she took us all by surprise by announcing that she wanted to do figure skating. She mentioned that classes would start in January so she asked for us to give her skates for Christmas and lessons for making good grades. Ray and I agreed .
We started slowly by letting Gloria take lessons in an indoor rink. My hands and feet were frozen but Gloria loved every minute of skating. She developed movements that showed elegance and beauty. After beginners classes she reached the maneuvers of jumps and spinning. I thought that this might be the termination point since spinning made her dizzy. But she endured.
The night came for the performances. The family made it a point to show Gloria the same support as she had earlier. She checked her skates. She put on her costume that was specially made for her. She was taken to the rink by her father, Ray. He looked as proud of her as he did for every child.
Gloria put on a skating performance that had the family and most of the crowd on their feet at the end of her time. The smile on her face was as much joy and success as we had ever seen. Gloria was a star that night. And added to that, she was asked to go to the next level for competition.
Our little skater had shown that she had the strong work ethic and talent to be one of the best athlete in the family.
