Important Matters
There are only a few things that matter, Love, Laughter, Compassion, Honesty, Faith, Love and Laughter, in that order, or in any order; the rest are just paths to them.

"Why the long face?"
Oh my dark heart that STILL wrecks me!!!

So
I am floored, I just heard that a man I used to date is seeing a girl who is literally young enough to be his daughter. I am floored because I completely misjudged him. My first impression of him was "player, child, don't trust" but then I bought into his "humble artist soul" after many conversations. I'm not so upset at him as at my own misjudgment. This world is so full of wolves in sheep's clothing it's a wonder anyone honest finds anyone else the same.
English Magic
"I think a true gardener is a lover of his flowers, not a critic of them. I think the true gardener is a reverent servant of Nature, not her truculent. I think the true gardener, the older he grows, should more and more develop a humble, grateful, and uncertain spirit."

Horses, Horses,Horses,Horses,
It was a cozy couch night, we have a real working TeeVee here that my Uncle Bill was gracious enough to bring, with a built in VCR. Mom and I had tea and popcorn, and Herr's Corn Curls (the GOOD kind...) and so I finally watched the notorious movie "Sleepless In Seattle". It really IS a touching flick, I don't ever expect filmmakers to get things like that. It was a pleasant surprise. I'm still not sure why Ron Wulff calls me Annie though.
Warm
I have enjoyed very much all of the visitors who have come to call. There are not many things better than breaking bread with wonderful, special people. I look forward to hearing the stories and adventures, and sharing the memories. I can't wait till the next time!

Kayakage
Couldn't bring mine, but they have rentals. But you're not allowed to take them where I want to go (always the way...which is why I need mine here...) hmm. Rowboats don't like rocks and branches. So I guess my only real option is to come back here with it. Next question: Will it fit on a Fatboy? (;
The End
T S Eliot
What we call a beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.
NewsFlash: In the future! When a girlfriend says "I don't think this guy is good for me, I don't like the way he is treating me," ... Believe her ! Don't talk her out of dumping the guy because you "understand" him! SHE is the one going out with him, if she feels like something's off, she is probably spot on. Support don't oppose. Now after holding on when she knew to let go, she's in much more pain than she would've been.
Oh, and~ if he is not messaging you, it means you are not on his mind... Why don't you just call the other one back? He is totally real, and not stuck up, very accomplished, funny, fun, witty, talented, and d d gorgeous~ oh right because you want the guy who ignores you and thinks he is better than you... The one who doesn't call or invite you anywhere, and who is obviously seeing at least one other woman, if not three- the attention whore who disses you, yes that's the one you should wait for! Wait until he's all healed from his pain and then he'll call you, hehehe... Remember when you did the very same thing to that sweet guy with the Cliffwalk house? This might be your payback, ouch.Maybe you should call HIM, see if you can make amends... ;) Wealthy men aren't all bad, you know. Some of them are very sweet.

Prayer For Companionship
Prayer For Companionship
Please God,
Guide me to new companions who are beneficial to my life,
Who treat me with kindness, humor, tolerance and respect;
Who see my inner self more clearly than my outer appearance;
Who see me as I really am;
Who are supportive of my endeavors;
Who respect me as an individual with unique experiences, talents and trials;
Who appreciate me as a human being who is as valid and real as any other who has ever lived on this earth;
Who find joy in companionship;
Who find joy in sharing common activities and adventures, discovery
and conversation;
Who listen to me when I share my thoughts and experiences;
Who acknowledge my past, appreciate my present, and believe in my future;
Who take account for their own actions;
Who treat my other companions and family with courtesy and respect;
Who miss my absence;
Who have my back;
Who stand beside me against injustice.
Who treasure my company.
Guide me to be this kind of companion to them as well.
Please guide me away from replacing old, unhealthy people with newer models of the same, and protect me from those:
Who extol a price for their presence;
Who use me as a toy when there is no one else around, and then shelve me when another comes to call;
Who do not apologize and can not accept that they have hurt me or that they have done something wrong;
Who find no error in causing me pain;
Who see themselves and certain others as superior;
Who punish me for not staying within their control or their expectations;
Who try to control whom I speak to or who I am friends with, or where I go;
Who try to poison my name to turn others against me in order to gain attention and diminish me in other people's eyes;
Who take inventory of my "flaws" and hold them against me;
Who bestow unsolicited advice and criticism;
Who practice tit for tat;
Who take my material possessions;
Who do not stand up for me against injustice;
Who ignore my boundaries and minimize my opinions, talents, capability and experiences.
Please guide me to avoid doing any of these things to anyone, no matter what they have done to me.
Please guide me to simply let go of and remove from me those who are not beneficial, without drama and pain, and guide me to embrace those who are healthy, friendly, trustworthy companions.
Thank you God,
Amen
