Hi everyone!
I'm trying to get prepared for a
New Year...
How about all of you?
are you ready? I'm pretty organized.
I like to have some sort of idea, then
execute it most proficiently.
Needless to say, I'm going to need
every hour that's left to this year
to prepare. I have many changes to make
for this new year approaching.
I need to see and feel a lot more progress.
The clouds aren't dissipating fast enough
in front of me to see clearly my path.

How about you?
are you on track? Do you have any plans in motion
yet? I'm not going to concentrate on what
to "give up" for the new year.
I am trying to concentrate on what I
need to do to acquire what I want to feel.
The old approaches are not working anymore.
So see you all in the New Year!
New beginnings abound!
May you all have a wonderful New Year!

My wishes for you

Happy Holidays!
Wishing everyone a wonderful Holiday Season!
I hope that all will find comfort in the "Little"
things, that do bring us so much joy...

I find myself thinking about those who may have no
one to share the Holiday with.
For those who can not afford a gift or two.
You will be in my thoughts, for I have been
there too...

Remeber what it's really all about in your hearts.
And the magic which is unknown in our logical heads,
will be shown in ways you didn't see before.
It may be through a phone call, unexpected...
It may be in a stranger who lends a hand.
It may be that you wake up to a feeling of warmth,
because someone placed a blanket over you
during the night...whether you live on the street
or in a gorgeous home.

It's usually found in the things we normally
take for granted because we're too busy.
Yes, your all in my thoughts on this Holiday Season.
I pray for those who are in need,
and wish you all the comfort of joy!
Happy Holidays!

Snow

We have upon us,
not a dream, but for such a distance,
cloud like in texture,
and whiter than cream.

It has fallen all about us,
Quite magical I believe.
It glistens and sparkles,
and leaves traces, not otherwise seen.

It comes but once a year,
in silence it appears,
it's presence is clear,
St. Nick is coming here!

So gather all your sleighs,
leaving shovels in dismay...
it's time to revel...
in this display!

Everything around me

You seldom speak to me,
I listen for a sound...
I feel your presence always near me?
as if your standing around...

You effect my thoughts,
the things that I choose to do...
Why are you so powerful?
even though I can't see you...

I've been with you all along,
even when your not beside me.
I feel I never had a choice,
my life unfolds before me...

Until the end, when we formally meet,
have mercy on my soul tonight,
It was the mistakes that taught me right,
not that they took me from your sight.

Not that I'm complaining or anything...
but this weather is crazy!
I understand that we are getting fifty degrees
in upper NY tomorrow. Cool!
This has been a weird season so far.
But I'll take it.
Hope that everyone had a great weekend.
Will share with you tomorrow.
Until then, stay warm if your cold,
and cool if your warm...

My Friend

My thoughts of you,
are seldom new,
enriched by shades of blue.

You've travelled along this
path of mine,
sharing a laugh or two.

As comfort names my many moods,
I'm usually thinking of you.
Along my side, you've never
questioned why...
just glanced a cognitive smile.

And like an old shoe,
I'll never lose,
this patient friendship of mine.

Okay, I know I've been screwing up
with entering a post everyday.
I was doing so well there for awhile.
Please have a little patience with me.
I want to keep my readers up to date
with a new posting everyday.
Lately, my life has been turned upside
down with all kinds of situations.
They have taken my usual schedule
off track.
There's a lot of demands of my time
at the moment. But I haven't forgotten
any of you. Your important as well.
Please keep the faith!
I am aware that some of my
visitors are also waiting with patience
for "my response" to their needs.
I have not forgotten any of you. Let's
just say, there's a delay, but I will respond
I promise. My wish is to treat any and all
with the respect you require of "your time".
I appreciate your patronage, and look forward
to helping all in return as well.

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to share with you
a couple of wonderful blogs.
You may already know of them, but
if not I recommend them.
First off, if you enjoy poetry, since you do
visit my site of course...first...

There is Poetry From The Orchard.
Artist is Ivan Donn Carswell.
http://igorevich.blogspot.com
wonderful artist. You'll enjoy his style of writing
and insight to many of thoughts.
Very casual, the kind of artist that captures
your attention and keeps it.
He is very "real" not looking to score points,
if you know what I mean. He's not all about "His"
blog only. Check him out when you get a chance.

The year in pictures.
Artist James Danziger.
http://pictureyear.blogspot.com
What a wonderful site to view such beautiful
photography! He displays his own work as well
as other artists. Again, an artist who is "real"
no hype. Just sharing with us all the beauty
that does exist out there. Without going to a
gallery. Check him out when you can.

Keep up the good work guys!

Hello everyone!
Hope that all of you had a great Thanksgiving!
I heard of a lot of accidents during Black Friday.
Shopping ones that is..
Can you imagine being stomped to death?
Not even a glance back, because you had
to be the first one to get the BEST deal...
See what the Human Life has come to mean...
WOW!
Or the glass door that was on top of an employee,
who was only trying to OPEN the door for everyone.
I am not sure of the exact facts on either of these cases.
However, it was written up in the paper, Times Union
I believe.
This world is truly becoming a scary place!
The Holiday season is just beginning folks.
Let's all try to remember there's enough for everybody.
Make your plans as early as possible, take your time,
and above all, be safe!
