I'm just going to ramble right now because I don't know where else to turn at this point. My mom has been an alcoholic for over 20 years, and has been living w/ her boyfriend for about 10 years in Florida and now in Georgia. I myself live in Pennsylvania. Recently I thought she was doing better and went to visit her over the 4th of July weekend. Boy was I wrong!!!&...

I feel so good today. Free from pain and hunger. Today, that is. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. But, today is today. I will take one day at a time and hope for the best. I am still on my third phase of diet and it does get a little easier. In my next phase I will get a little more solid foods and boy, am I looking forward to that. So much...1 Recommendation3 Comments

My Morning Walk Through The Local Children's Garden
Monday, August 17, 2009
On my way to the Children's Garden, I crossed a little bridge besides a wooded pond.
It was very peaceful there.
As I walked through the garden I spotted some pretty little butterflie's and I started trying to get some pictures of them. I managed to catch this one atop a flower.
This garden had many lovley flowers, but I found this one especially interesting so I took it's pi...3 Recommendations8 Comments -

One of the most enjoyable day trips I love to take is to grab my digital camera
and go to the zoo. These pictures I took over this past weekend at the
Point Defiance Zoo.
Imagine my surprise when I looked at the photo and saw what I
snapped. I just love this picture.
Another great picture that happened by accident. I love the expression
of the girl looking at this moon jelly fish.

The Well
I came to you
For sustenance
Gazed into your depths
Dark waters reflected me.
I poured my pain
Desires, despairs
Into the heart
Waiting for you
To overflow, to reject
what I gave.
But the well
So deep, endless
Held its will
Shared its bounty
Filled me

This past week my art therapy group worked on making dream catchers. We used instructions from a website called nativetech.org. The project though it looks intricate was actually not too dificult to pick up. We added beads in the web to symbolize the things we wanted to catch in the web. Either the bad things we wanted to stay out of our dreams or the good things we wanted to focus our drea...1 Recommendation4 Comments -

Each day I pray for you, my friends
Your joy and happiness never ends
A lasting friendship so true
A gift of love when you feel blue
I pray a rainbow will color your day
After rain clouds drift away
And stars to wish upon at night
Filling your heart with delight.
A cool breeze to caress your face
As angels hold you in their embrace
Listening to sweet music in the air
Reminding you that...1 Recommendation4 Comments -

Chapter 3 Shootin’ Fish in a Barrel
The fall of 1989 the Berlin Wall came down, and I picked up a fishing rod again for the first time in 9 years – what I hoped would mark two remarkable events in my lifetime. That September morning I woke up with a craving to get out of Northern Virginia. I grabbed my boyfriend,...1 Recommendation4 Comments -

Time passes..
Life happens.
Distance separates.

Jobs come and go. Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.. Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors. Careers end.
BUT........ Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how
many miles are between you. A girl friend is never fart...1 Recommendation3 Comments -

Things to Remember:
Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Some of their houses will be bigger.
Some will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school.
And their husband will fix more things around the house.
So let it go, and love you and your circumstances
Think about it!
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.

Friends Without Faces
We sit and we type and we stare at our screens,
We can't help but wonder what all of this means.
With mouse in hand ...we roam through this maze,
On an infinite search...lost in a daze.
We chat with each other, we type all our woes
At times we'll band together to gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name
We want recognitio...1 Recommendation3 Comments -
