| breathing deeply again |
| 10.31.04 (7:08 pm) [edit] |
An update on my friend...I recieved word early this morning that hissurgury went better than anticipated. The damage to his heart was able to be repaired with a laser making the surgury much quicker and less invasive. It was such a relief to get that news. It was like I could finally breath again.
The past 24 hours really put a lot of things into perspective for me. Things in our lives can change in the blink of an eye...we never know when or how. I am making it my mission now to never leave any "loose ends" with the people I care about. I want to make sure that I always say what I mean...and mean what I say. I want those people I love and care about to always know just how much they mean to me.
So for all you that I consider my tblog family, (and you know who you are) know that I love you all and appreciate so much what you each bring to my life. Some of you I speak to off of here..some not. But each of you brings your own unique perspective to my day and always offer me support when I need a shoulder. Thanks for all you do for me. Love you much... ~miss kendy

| Pacing the floor |
| 10.30.04 (12:29 pm) [edit] |
It's been such a long week for me full of anxious moments. It's so hard to be away from people that we love and care for. One of my dearest friends was told last month that he was to have an open heart surgury within a month. Since that time he has been in and out of the hospital several times for episodes with his heart. Wednesday evening he and I were chatting on web cam...the first time in many weeks..I could see how ill he really was. It was so difficult to see this young man of 25 looking so frail. He looked at times during our chat as if he were in great discomfort. I kept asking him if perhaps he should leave..get some rest. He kept [i]insisting[/i] that he stay there in the cyber cafe and talk with me. He said being there with me made him feel better. We continued our chat until he suddenly just slumped from his chair. I could tell he had gone to the floor. I recieved no word until the following day when his friend called me to say they had rushed him to the hospital and that the drs decided they must do the surgury within days rather than when they had scheduled it.
Today was the surgury. I have paced the floor all day..waiting..jumping every time the phone rings. I keep remembering what we were saying to each other when he fell from his chair. He was saying he loved me so much..I was about to say I loved him too. But he was already gone. Now I am left wondering have I told my friend enough times how I care for him? So many [i]WHAT IFS[/i] go through my mind today as I wait. I look at all of these goofy pics of us together and I pray we will have time to take more. I feel helpless right now..and I keep pacing..waiting..watching that damned clock knowing that with the time difference he certainly must be out of surgury now.
[i]He has to be ok...there are too many things I want to say to him.[/i]

| How do I love thee? |
| 10.29.04 (5:17 pm) [edit] |
Sonnets from the Portuguese
XLIII
How do I love thee ? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life !--and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.
~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning

| we dance |
| 10.28.04 (4:56 pm) [edit] |
We dance round and round this flame that seems to grow more intense with the passing of each day A well choreographed ballet of desire that pulls at our souls Pierces our hearts and makes our minds turn only to thoughts of each other We dance round and round this flame Fueled by distance and circumstance Far apart yet always feeling each others presence We dance We dance We love

| Living Big |
| 10.28.04 (4:04 pm) [edit] |
[i]Borrowed from Katheryn Loubley..The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business[/i]
[b]So What Does Living Big Mean Anyway?[/b] "Living Big isn't about making lots of money or having a Texas-sized house. It's about having an intoxicating vision, about daring to look at the miracle of life without shrinking back. Living Big means having the nerve to find your own drum beat, sing your own song.
Unfortunately, many of us still march to the same high school fight song we learned decades ago. Or we sing the same old jingle that Madison Avenue invented to keep us buying their products. In case you hadn't noticed, there are an awful lot of forces out there striving to keep us in line.
Living Big means getting out of line. It means dancing the jig when others are waltzing. It means saying you care when you're not sure how the other person feels. It means leaping out of the limited, soul-numbing boxes we've all been squeezed into.
Living Big is being brave enough to claim your own truth, being bold enough to read the poem that's stamped across your heart. Out loud so everybody can hear.
All of us have the responsibility to find that passion that makes us want to get up on the table and dance (Grout, 2001, p. 4). "
Reference: Grout, P. (2001). Living big: embrace your passion and leap into an extraordinary life. New York: MJF Books.

| My cousin Keith |
| 10.24.04 (11:51 am) [edit] |
I am such a baseball fan. Always have been. I am as you all know a loyal Redsox fan (which ain't easy folks!)...so imagine my joy when my cousin Keith signed to play in bean town. It was like 10 holidays in one! *grin* Keith Foulke is one of the most dynamic relief pitchers in baseball. He is amazing to watch..has a killer change up. Great heater too 8)
Watching the World Series is always good fun but when your cousin takes the mound it puts a whole new spin on things! You hold your breath for every pitch...you notice that when he makes a certain face he looks just your dad..LOL.
Keith was the winning pitcher last night for the Sox...it made the win just so much more sweeter!! [i]Luv ya cuz!![/i]

| 10.19.04 (5:22 pm) [edit] |
Am I living? Am I [i]really[/i] living??? Or am I just going throught the motions of life while time is slipping by one day at a time until one morning I wake up and its *ding* [i]sorry game over[/i]. Why am I doing it this way? What is keeping me from doing what I know I want to do...why am I not on that plane right now on my way to Dhahra? It's the one place in the world I want to be right this minute. My heart is there..my mind is there..so what holds me here where I am so unhappy. Perhaps I am using "parental responsibility" as an excuse to hide my fears about chasing my dreams and desires. I am so torn between the two...I love my cildren. They are my joy..but my soul screams to be with the one I love. I ache. I hurt... and still I cannot move.

| Sea blog |
| 10.12.04 (5:00 pm) [edit] |
A number of Primary Schools were doing a project on "The Sea". Kids were asked to draw pictures, or write about their experiences.
Teachers got together to compare the results, and put together some of the comments that were funny, and some that were sad. Here are some of them. The kids were all aged between 5 and 8 years.
* This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly age 6)
* Oysters balls are called pearls. (James age 6)
* I don't like the sea. It makes me sick on the ferry. (Peter age 6)
* My goldfish died. Why? (Katie age 5)
* If you are surrounded by sea you are an Island. If you don't have sea all round you, you are in continent. (Wayne age 7)
* I think sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend no more. (Kylie age 6)
* A dolphin breaths through an arsehole on the top of it's head.(Billy age8)
* My uncle goes out in his boat with pots, and comes back with crabs.(Millie Aged 6)
* When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes, when the wind didn't blow, the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would be better off eating beans. (William age 7)
* I like mermaids. They are beautiful, and I like their shiny tails.How do mermaids get pregnant? (Helen age 6)
* I'm not going to write about the sea. My baby brother is always screaming and being sick, my Dad keeps shouting at my Mum, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy age 6)
* Some fish are dangerous. Jelly fish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves into chargers. (Christopher age 7)
* My mom has fish nets, but doesn't catch any fish. (Laura age 5)
* When you go swimming in the sea, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small. (Kevin age 6)
* When me and Sarah went to the sea side in the summer holidays, we hid in the sand dunes and watched my big sister doing it with her boy friend. It was fun. (Lauren age 7)
* A submarine goes under the water like a fish, but it has lots of seamen inside. (Emma age 5)
* When I grow up, I want to be captain of a big ship, and have lots of sailors (Valerie age 6)
* Divers have to be safe when they go under the water. Two divers can't go down alone, so they have to go down on each other. (Becky age 8)
* On holiday my Mum went water ski-ing. She fell off when she was going very fast. She says she won't do it again because water shot up her fanny. (Julie age 7)
:wink: Gotta luv 'em!

As I sit here writing my baby is on her [i]first real [/i][i]date[/i]. :shock: How did this happen??? I woke up one morning and suddenly she is in high school and making the cheer squad. Last week she came home squealing in delight that not only had she been nominated for freshman homecoming attendant but [i]ANDY[/i] (her long time crush) had asked her to the dance. Oh what could I say but ok?? :roll: So here I sit...growing grey hairs...lol.
She won attendant .. Hope she is having fun. :wink:
[i]FOOTNOTE: She returned home right on time...when asked how the dance was she replied with a big sigh "Perfect."[/i]
