Good News !!

"Happiness isn't the great big pleasures that count the most;

it's making a great deal of the little ones."

Jean Wester



I'm baaaaack! It feels like I've been gone forever!


I thought my moodiness was because my computer was broken. Sweetie suggested I was missing my blog! He may be right.


There is no explanation as to what exactly happened to my computer. When the geek from the Geek Squad told me there was nothing - NOTHING - left on my hard drive, I felt physically ill.


What to do? Pay to have it fixed? Throw the thing in the garbage can and turn myself into a rehab hospital for computer detox? Buy a new one and start over again? Cry? Throw myself in front of a Mack truck? Bite someone's head off? Pray? All of the above?


Saner minds prevailed. Sweetie called Son of Sweetie, and within 48 hours I was back in business. There are still a few personal programs I have to re-install but that will happen in the next few days. For now, I'm just rejoicing in the warmth and beauty of my silver friend.


Smiling,

Merry ME

I need to be able to get back in touch with you somehow. We can exchange email addy's later. But please at least leave your name. If you still comment as Anonymous, just say your name in the comment.  You can use first name and last initial. Or last name alone. Or an Alias. Just so I can get your name in the hat. And really, thank you. Thank you again and again. Merry ME _____ I always breathe a sigh of relief when a storm veers away from Jacksonville.  At the same time it's hard not to feel guilty that it went somewhere else.  I was in no way prepared for Hurricane Sandy. Like a lot of others, I felt like the...

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur...
