Get An Education

As a child I was told "Get a good education, it's the only thing that can never be taken away from you"

Of course, I realized it to be the truth, and I've always strived to keep learning all my life...
But the lesson was really hammered home for me after hurricane Katrina's destruction. The people with an education had the resources to flee to safer ground and start over from nothing, if need be. Even if they had to walk away with only the clothes on their backs, they could carry away with them their education.
But it's the uneducated and poor people who didn't have the resources to get away... and became victims, either thru death, or thru total losses... and without the education and job skills to help them start over somewhere else...
Loss is a fact of life, the hardest lesson we have to learn, the only thing that stays constant is change...
No matter WHO comes into our life, no matter WHAT comes into our life, the day will come when we WILL lose that person or thing... and we have to love them enough to let them go...
But the one thing we'll never lose is our education, (unless dementia sets in).

CHILDREN, Gotta Love 'em




















Children, Younguns, Rug-Rats, Curtain-Climbers...
whatever we call them ... we gotta love 'em.


We spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk ...
and the next sixteen years telling them to sit down and hush up!

Children seldom misquote us ...
in fact, they usually repeat word for word what we shouldn't have said.

We 'childproof' our homes ...
but they still keep getting in.

If you get a tension headache, follow the directions on the aspirin bottle ...
"Take 2 aspirin" and "Keep away from children"!

Younguns ... gotta love 'em : )

In Chinese Astrology...


In chinese astrology, I am a wabbit...
which is funny because when I was a kid in school, at lunchtime everyone would make fun of me
because while chewing my food they said my nose would twitch like a wabbit...

Nights of Full Moon

This evening, there was a massive colourful breathtaking sunset. I was afraid to blink while looking at it for fear it would disappear.
Tonite, there is the full moon bathing the world in its awesome, serene magic...
I stand alone at my window and gaze with an aching longing...
longing to dance out there ...
to dance like a wild and happy mystical fairy...
But I stand alone at my window...
I stand ... alone...
