It's coming...!

i think Spring will really be here this year.  i've been awakened this morning to the sound of birds, not the sparrows which seem to be permanently outside of my window but morning doves and robins, i heard a cardinal -well two of them - calling back and forth...and i live in the city! 

Spring is such a strange and wonderful beast.  Summer is all glorious and hot and muggy. Autumn, my favorite time of year, is crisp and cool and sweet - fallen leaves have a crunch and aroma to them that are pure pleasure.  Winter brings cold and snow, ice too.  But then there is that time when it's not really winter and it's not really Spring and you think that life and the world are very dismal and gray.  And then...

 

TA DAAAAAAAAA!

Here comes Spring.  With all of it's vibrant colours and scents.  Baby birds and rabbits and other creatures (just please, no mice!)  And with the dawning and rebirth of the earth, the feelings of new life can reach deep into your heart and soul, breathing in freshness and giving you the feeling that you CAN and will survive....and do it well.

i have the feeling, that Spring is coming.

 

WOOO HOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Odd things

On Sunday, as i  was cooking, i burnt my hand on the burner.  Right hand  - ring finger - on the back - bad burn....it hurt for quite some time but true to nature, i kept it under or close to cool water until the sting stopped and then let it alone so that nature could take it's course and heal.  All was going well until i recently reburnt it(don't ask) and now it is quite red and sore.

So i thought, in all my medical wisdom, that a little neosporin might help heal and would certainly relieve the discomfort (it's applied now - and yes, it feels better already!).

i went to the place where i keep all my first aid type things - and yes, i have a place for it - only to find that my neosporin wasn't there.  i rummaged through tubes of this and that until i found it - or so i thought.  In my haste to apply the ointment, i failed to see that the tube i had in my hand was....::blush::...vaginal itching cream.

One might wonder A) why on earth i have such cream (i dont know!) and 2) how such cream could possibly help a burn.

It doesn't.

Don't ask, just trust me on this.

Neosporin feels much, much better.

 

Time to Travel

i'm a bolter.  Yup sure am - when stress or conflict get too high or too much to bear - i bolt.  Guess what?  i'm about to do it.  i have this incredibly strong urge to just walk away from everything.  my job, my family, my friends, my house - all...just bolt.  Go somewhere new. Start fresh. 

Problem is - i could very well be bolting from myself.  Hmm..well then, moving somewhere else wouldn't help much, would it?  lol

So, maybe i'd better just face my demons, my fears and shortcomings and make the most of right? Right.

On another note:
Car was stolen and found.
Fridge quit and was replaced.
Choir issue - OH MY WORD!  enough said
Job: If i don't find something else soon, i'm going to start drinking and driving
Relationships: don't ask
Cats:  FUNNY as heck
Me:  gonna make it.

Where have i been?

Good grief!  Where have i been?  This stress thing is a killer  - sheesh...i've neglected my poor lil blog.

i will post multiple words here tomorrow. 

 

God, don't leave me ....

These words, sung by MaryMary, have been going through my head.  Sometimes life looms ahead, dark and dreary, or something happens (stolen car) that tries to break my spirit (almost succeeded) but...

"Can't Give Up Now"

There will be mountains that I will have to climb
And there will be battles that I will have to fight
But victory or defeat, it's up to me to decide
But how can I expect to win If I never try.

I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
and I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me

Never said there wouldn't be trials
Never said I would't fall
Never said that everything would go the way I want it to go
But when my back is against the wall
And i feel all hope is gone,
I'll just lift my head up to the sky
And say help me to be strong

I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
and I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me

[Hook:]
No you didn't bring me out here to leave me lonely
Even when I can't see clearly
I know that you are with me(so I can't)

I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
and I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me
