I am prepping through out the day creating paper snowflakes to hang around the ship. There I feel like the world is filled with wonder and friends that do understand. A beautiful boat created by us here at DS . At first we started the cruises with DarkGypsy's glitter sub. It swung the oceans and the universe. Equipped well by Scotty with warp drive....and of course the magic...

Then Lily found a boat and of was instilled with magic that can create that peaceful place that we are told to find to promote relaxation and just to breath. If you want for anything or special comforts , you need only blink blink and Calypso provides it.

We play relax and share what makes us feel better...together.
There is also a van for on the road excursions The Violet Vanguard, parking is never a problem! And it is there with just a blink at our disposal, shopping the Magnificent mile or just a shoreline shell collecting day trip...use it as you wish.

...as many here know I have to do art.
I am surprised at the body of work that has come out of my time on Calypso, shared with you here, my friends.

hugs, read, play and enjoy our own place that we know.

oh boy did it rain hard last night. i cuddled up in my bed full of, yes, pillows and the rain hit my window so hard for hours and it put me to sleep.

LillyPotter 02/12/2016

I love that kind of rain, the sort that there is no doubt that anyone is out and about and you can safely release all thoughts, let go and sleep take you away.

I love how everything smells so clean outside after too. the trees get a good washing up and everything is fresh.

this is making me want to check out Loo's strawberry plants in the secret garden - they were full of baby berries last we looked. the way that garden grows I bet they are huge now.

LillyPotter 02/12/2016

oh my goodness - look! here is the first basket that I know of, unless Loo has picked any : )

strawberries: http://www.dailystrength.org/people/3273061/photos-videos/0 they are so beautiful too

I will grab the pic of the arbor

LillyPotter 02/12/2016

this is not the pic I meant to grab, but does show a way of growing them off the ground - a much better way. I might try some in hanging pots...

Yay I can now watch the videos posted here. Turns out my provider was ripping me off and I have gone from 2.5gb to 10. They promised 12 but I'll save that battle till later. Still feel flat as an ironing board and uninspired so won't be posting yet but I will read.
Hmm rain and strawberries, its turning into a better day already. :))

jewells1 02/13/2016

Good morning Loo. I shared this on the old thread because i speaks of how many time we go to the thoughts that we just don't deserve. Deserve is a very judgmental thought process. If you say I am the best I can be in this moment, then know that you are . That really helps fight the words in the head or from what is seemingly am attack of the feelings of others invading our grace.

If I choose to be the best that I am in all situations then I have a foundation to to stand on that helps me stand against the rest of the what ever the rest have to send at me.

So with that belief it ,off to crack the books again, doing the best I can with grace.

LillyPotter 02/13/2016

Loo!! :O)

You're here, you're here!!! will you just look at the strawberries that grew out of your Secret Garden - my eyebrows just went all the way up !!

I am thinking better ask Calypso to help pick them with us and give them as gifts, breakfasts - oh my goodness!!! we can dip them in dark chocolate : D Want to? we have to try to keep some to give away - LOL

jewells1 02/13/2016

eating chocolate strawberries...waiting on that proff to let me know if the paper is right enough for him.
Ugh... Maybe a cool dip with the dolphins will help?
Or better yet sit here and be still...my nerves.

Still - Hillsong United - with Lyrics

dragging me and my head in for a nap or something like it in the quiet of the planted area, my little spot with the fountain, I think.

sending up a prayer for that professor to zap you an answer pretty darn quick, so you can know you are finished w/that one, Jewells, hugs.

quiet, aha. almost forgot aroma therapy : ) I will get that, and then, go for the cupboard bed. ya, nodding my head a little bitty nod, good choice. the comfort of it and the hide away feeling sound just right. thank you, God for the cupboard bed, thank you so much for it. and for chocolate cashew milk : ) thanks for that.

ok, now it hurts to type one letter, so that's it for me now

mujicaptsd 02/13/2016

Loved that "Still" video's images, jewells.

And THANKS so much for the Montevideo Carnaval videos. I watched them all with a full heart, beaming with smiles.

LillyPotter 02/13/2016

God please bless our Jewells with peace that passeth understanding. thank you so much for this precious, precious one, who, even she is working so hard, to the point it is plain difficult to think straight when taking a break - she does think straight, she does. Our Jewells manages to keep us in mind somehow and do special things that hit those spots for us and comfort us. Thank you so much for our Jewells, and thank you for whatever you can do to help her have that knowing that her work is good and she is at a place to put it down and take a rest until tomorrow. Amen

DoooOver 02/13/2016

so many hugs to you Jewell. you are working so hard and hoping you can rest and have some peace :)

xoxo

Listening to jewells lovely song eating the strawberries lily has picked while lying on a gossamer cloud feeling safe and warm. Its night for you and i wish you sweet dreams while I float up here my cloud seeing all the glittering lights below and twinkling stars above. Calypso rocks gently on the swells soothing you all to sleep. All is well in the universe.

mujicaptsd 02/14/2016

Hey, it doesn't go with our boat theme on Calypso, but it's so freakin' cold I thought it might be fun to offer this Youtube of a warm fireplace with relaxing music.

Endured that brutal final 6 day in a row streak somehow and made it to my 2 days off. Doctors appt tomorrow morning to discuss my sleep issues and a few other things and then I decided as much as it absolutely hurts me, but I have 2 set days off now, if fir some reason I work one of those days I am turning in my badge. I dont want to, but my health always comes first. Employers should know...

I have out of work for 5 years taking care of my dad. Now he is stable. He was helping me out with money but that is coming to an end. I am RN and want to do direct patient care. So far my applications have gone no where at the hospitals I applied to. Now I am applying at nursing homes online. I am really getting down with the rejections. But at the same time I just sit in my bed not going out...
