Toes in the sand

Restless minds begin to calm

Another lazy day

Diving into the ocean

Imagination abounds

Toasted marshmallows

Intoxicating moonlight

Open fire to dance around

Nourishment for the soul

Have a fantastic weekend my friends

Not much to report today. I just made myself a cup of coffee, sat down to check  my emails and then made myself another coffee without even realising I already had one waiting to be sipped. I think it's gonna be one of those days, hehe. Feeling a little nervous actually, going out with Whitesnake tonight to meet some of his work buddies. I love meeting new people but there's always that thought in the back of my mind...what happens if I have a panic attack and have to leave? What will they think? I know these thoughts can bring on anxiety and I'm working on retraining those thoughts. It's a hard habit to get out of after years of panic attacks but I'm getting better all the time.

Have a great day/night and I'll let you know how I get on  tomorrow.

Last Chance

Here's my contribution to One Shot.

Early years, caring for others,

casting her needs aside.

Mind and body in their prime,

ticking clock far from her mind.

His relief, as each month passes,

her desperation hidden inside.

Brimming with wisdom, bursting with love,

she welcomes her second chance.

But her body grows weak, time marches on,

Mother Nature will finally decide.

Whitesnake's One Shot is here

Have a great day/night all.

One Shot Wednesday - Celebrate Spring

It's the first day of Spring...YAY!




Springs beauty arrives
Like a breath of fresh air
Winter blues exit
On a cloud of despair



Young lambs are playing
New lives just begun
My aches and pains fade
In the warmth of the sun



Kids invent games
As daffodils bloom
Summer is imminent
For me, not a moment too soon


Coming up... Coco's World...pics of our wee dog..

Have a wonderful day.

COCO'S WORLD

The house we live in has a fully fenced back yard but that hasn't stopped Coco escaping on several occasions. Luckily, she has either found her own way home or to our neighbours house. We couldn't figure out how she was getting out at first, until we saw her trying to squeeze through a tiny space under the fence. I couldn't believe she could get through there until I saw it with my own eyes. Dad gave us some logs to block the holes and this seems to have fixed the problem.

However, now there is a new fascination with the neighbour's fence. Coco has always been interested in what's going on over the fence. She's a real outdoors girl and amuses herself out there for hours...until recently. The past few days she has been keeping a vigil at the fence. She only leaves to eat and to come and find us for the occasional cuddle. It can't be another animal attracting her attention, if it was a cat or dog, she would bark and growl. She just sits there, with her head under the fence, wagging her tail. I'm thinking that maybe my neighbour has been feeding her scraps from the fence. Any other ideas?




All else is well here. Steve is working hard but I'm not (post to follow).I have a follow up Doc's appointment on Friday. Post to follow re that as well. A continuation from my wee rant on face book a few weeks back. Don't worry, all is well (as far as I know) but I'm mighty pissed off about it.

Yikes, I think I need a secretary to keep up with all my posts. LOL!

I think that's all folks. Oh, Steve and I watched Bucket List, last night. I LOVE that movie.

I THINK WE'RE ALONE NOW

A lone at last

L anguishing in solitude

O blivious to life outside

N obody to disturb me

E verybody come back!




Has been a strange week for me. Hubby has been away on his travels, my parents are enjoying a well deserved break overseas, my sis is overseas, the kids are away from home and my closest friends have either been working or out of town.

When I have people all around me, I reach a point where I crave time alone. There are only a few people who understand how deep a need this is in me. Some think it's because they have upset me or done something wrong. This isn't the case at all. If I don't have time to myself I become moody and withdrawn. I know for a fact, a few of my blog buddies have been on the receiving end of some of my mood swings. The best thing to do is just leave me be and I'll be back to my bouncy self in no time.

*bounces around*

I'm sooooooooooooo tired

S ensuous slumber
L ost to the world
E nveloped in blankets
E motionally quiet
P eace at last
