FEELING SAD....

This is the time of year I have always looked forward to...the quiet gray days of rest.  This year for the first time I am deeply sad inside and out and do not know if I can make it through this season.   Maybe because I am going to be 60 years old this Friday...I just feel so alone...friendless...deeply sad and melancholy is building to the overflow point.  Daily chores are becoming a burden and hard to complete...the drudgery of it all is unbearable...I must raise my eyes upward and have faith in the light in the darkness...I will light a candle and remember those who came before me to shape my character and pray for their strength to uphold me...even tired old things still have some hidden beauty.

LOVE THE EARTH...

SPIRIT OF THE GLENN

Silver bird flying high

are you safe in heavens sky?

unaware what hides below

the wolves, the hunt, the hate, the woe...

suddenly your journey ends

with broken wings in foreign lands.

silently your feathers lay

in golden wheat and fields of hay...

sunflowers stand guard

and poppies cry

as soft winds blow the solemn lullaby.

though you went without a fight,

you will not fade into the night.

your spirit soars up in a cloud of

unfinished dreams~

will we ever know what it all means?

only the pain of invisible scars 

forever embedded in our hearts?

We Will Serve the LORD...

We Will Remember....

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them."

FALL HAS FALLEN....

WHAT I WOULD RATHER DO.....

WILL THE BIRDS HEDGE THEIR BETS ON THIS ONE?

SPASIBO...

17 days of magic!  we thank you Russia...may we learn to love one another and live in PEACE!
