  • My RED letter day!!!!!

    Monday, November 16, 2009 | A Happy story

     
    The postman didn't even knock once and yet his arrival this afternoon has totally changed my life for the rest of it.....................however long that may be. 
    Twenty years ago last month I was hit broadside by a car much larger than mine, and the rest as the saying goes, is history.  Medically it's been a downward spiral ever since. And it denied me the ten years...

    Wednesday, July 8, 2009 | A Positive story


    The true measure of an individual

    who can do her no good.

  • Goal update - Before I can dance...

    Thursday, October 2, 2008

    My goal is to dance again....but I think after contemplating and brain processing Addison's information this evening....perhaps the first step towards the goal to dance again, is that I should first concentrate on learning how to walk.... :)  So tomorrow, I start walking....every day!

  • This is in recognition of our Canadian Thanksgiving

    Monday, October 12, 2009 | An Inspiring story

    Woman and a Fork
    There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things "in order," she contacted her Pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects off her final wishes.
    She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit s...

  • We Made It!

    Wednesday, July 8, 2009 | An Inspiring story

     
    Neither of us would have imagined that a year ago we would be able to stay smoke free....but we did!  Not even one little slip!  It wasn't always easy, but it was so worth it.  I am beyond proud of myself and of Don.   If we can do this, especially with all of the trials and side effects, then ANYONE can!
    We love being FREE!
    Here's to the next year...
    By the w...

    What a day of contrasts; started out sicker than a dog with some kind of bug I'd had since Fri. and ended this evening with the most amazing invention I've ever experienced !!!
    I do owe someone here a huge thankyou, if you recognize yourself here, do let me know so I can thank you properly!  They had been asking themselves if maybe you could get the comfort from the 2 & 3 thousand...

  • Well I slept through the whole weekend!!

    Monday, October 6, 2008 | A Funny story

    I slept through the whole weekend and missed that OJ Simpson was found guilty on all counts.  From what I heard he will spend the rest of his days in prison.  Weird that this will put him away when the murder trial didn't.   I guess that Nicole's friend's family won't get their millions from him now.  He also won't be able to sneak around and do signin...
