All I have to get through now is this biopsy & I am keeping a positive prayerful mind on that!!
Have a Peaceful Weekend!

We are in dire need of such men to help our country right now.

Marilyn...Most of us are blessed with good lives that we need to take the time to be thankful for.
I am keeping you in my prayers until you hear the good news on the biopsy ~ then you can have an extra-wonderful, happy Christmas!

Anne...Life IS good and there are many good people out there doing good for others. Many times it is behind the scenes. You probably don't even realize that there are days when you are helping others just by the uplifting comments you leave on their blogs.; November 20, 2009 at 2:12 PM
Marlene said...: Great post about a great man/men Thank you, perhaps someone of their character is just waiting to step in and put our country back on the right path.

It is time to give thanks and I am very grateful to have my husband of 36 years, my four children and 9 grandchildren, all of my online friends and family.; November 22, 2009 at 1:00 AM

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

~ James Kavanaugh

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
