Hello 2013

A new year is about to be upon us and this past year has been another wild and wonderful ride, the ups and downs in life we may never be able to avoid, when we are up the whole world is waiting for you lifting you and when down the world seems to rest on your shoulders, but though it all, I want to celebrate those good times with my friends and family here, and know that when the world is heavy they have been here during those times of trials as well, have a great and happy new year all - ♥ ♥

2012

ok playtime is over, far to soon, for the time i spend here is always refreshing, the thoughts and comments the life's of so many others all here in this little mixing bowl of a realm we share. In the real world sometimes our circle of friends is not so diverse as they are here, and though more often then not we see the pretty smiles of those we meet here in this wizards realm, so often not seeing their tears. Should you take time to know those that wondering in and out of this home within this realm, you do get to know and see their tears, their smiles, their love and their pain, their hopes and fears, you will find a friend deeper then most you will ever know. Here we can share our dreams without fear, our fantasies too, the mind can think far beyond what we can actually do for real. Our minds can take us on a flight with only a carpet to carry us aloft, can transform us into creatures that fly the skies, or to another that races through wild forest woods, we can down leather and stand tall, or chains and submit to someone without fear, we can make love on a sailing ship under a moonlight sky, a sandy beach, or mountain high. We can walk through a meadow hand in hand and touch lips with our heart. All so very real, when you let your imagination stretch and soar among the skies, the heavens, even the very stars high above, and all so real in the eye of our mind.
Now a new year comes, this past year has seen so many changes in my life, both in real and in this wizards realm. In the real, work has been long and hard, this economy scares me yet I will press on, the work i do will often keep me from time with friends, family too does take my attention away, but this is as it should be, family, the most important on any plate either in real or here in this realm. In this realm, I have known the love of one that remains a dear friend even though we are no longer together we can still talk, laugh and share, supporting one another always. And another whom I have let go, a love I may never replace, and though this has sadden my heart this past year, I have learned to grow and move on with life. I have let go of that dream and embraced another, one of friendships unending. Here in this realm we share together I have learned it does take many many friends to make one whole, I have grown to love you all in a very special way and even though we are all so very different in our wants and desires, I hold you all close and I love the differences we have and share!
I trust that this new year your dreams will come true, your friendships grow, your families become those you know you can trust and love without fear, Happy New year to you all ♥ ♥

Different Strokes

A days end, work complete for the day, the Holidays looming over us, the world may not even be here tomorrow, so many things and thoughts do sit in my head this night, I think of all the love i have felt, and yet this past week i have seen two sides of a coin argue endlessly, neither side wanting to budge from their position cause they feel so strongly about what is right and what is wrong? i ask you this, how can 2 sides both be right? or is there really anything to be right about? In the bible, the is a word picture of a man, how we can't all be a hand or a foot, not all a belly head or neck, but it takes all the parts to make a whole, it takes 2 sides of a coin to make a whole, it takes people of different strokes, color, religion, faith, to make a nation a world. If we were all the same, it would be truly boring don't you think? I don't push who or what I am on someone, they ask I will share, and I love that when I ask you all share your thoughts as well, who is right who is wrong, it is not my place to say, it is my place to learn to listen and love, it so simple really, and yet, so hard for most, we have this feeling that if we give up and agree we some how have betrayed our own ideas and thoughts, and yet, as i have gown to know and love you all, i know we don't agree on everything, and may even be a long way apart on what is right and what is wrong, but you know what, it doesn't matter, it is still not my place, all i can do is lay out my heart to you all and pint a direction, that I feel will bring peace, it does for me, but for each that reads, it is you that must decide in life what it is your looking for, what it is you hold to, what it is that makes you you..and I can ought but love you for who you are, nothing more nothing less.. ♥

Sailing

Posted July 18, 2012

The days end, I often think of one of my wishes in life, the one that puts us aboard a small sailing vessel at the end of a day, that with seas are calm around us, glasses of wine in our hands as we sit upon the bow feeling the gentle roll of the craft under us. The anchors holds us tight in place, the gulls over head streaking through the night sky in search of one last morsel of food to take back to their young. The sun setting in the west reddens the sky with it's long beams, stretching the shadows longer as dusk settles around us. Each sighing with pleasure, knowing that together side by side we have worked through the day, often knowing what the other would want long before needed and just preparing that rope that sail that line bringing us to this quiet cove. In the distance the soft rolling splash of the surf on the shore, and here the warm air beginning to cool touching our skin, the night slowly takes us and close we are as the stars pop into the sky, the taste of wine to soon be replaced by the taste of your lips, my eyes looking into yours, and with a soft smile......... good night all, may your dreams come true and your hearts be full of love for your chosen mate..

Fair Day

 

Post July 17, 2012

This has been a fair day of battle, the assaults each one thrown back from the walls, the men standing strong and yet you can see the weariness as they stand, a warm contented weariness from doing a task well, and yet they still stand ready in case those that would rise up once more to divide and conquer might try to return. As the stars begin to dot the darkening sky one by one, then in small clusters, the brightest always the first, the men seem to breath a collective sigh of relief knowing that the day is done, each turns to leave trusting those few left in charge, turning to retire to their homes and families. To the meal that await to stretch their bellies, the flavors that will dance upon their tongues the joy the dinner will bring knowing that this day the battle was won. There would still be more, the constant onslaught of life's struggles, of those that seek to tear down, and yet, with a light heart each does enjoy the peace that comes from a days work done. Each knowing there is still those standing holding the line till the morrow shall come and a new day begin. Perhaps the day will be restful with friends and family around to lift the joy or mayhaps there would be giants that will try to deal their mischievous ways, but that is for tomorrow to worry about, tonight there is peace once more as the day is done.. good evening to all this fine night and pleasant dreams ahead

Curve

well the best laid plans of mice and men, seems to me the more I plan the less often an event will happen, but when I fly by the "seat of my pants" life seems to find a way of twisting and turning in what ever direction it will, and we hold on, not knowing if we are the ones in control or if life it self just wants to see if it can shake things up a little to keep events interesting, still, the adventures can be for more intense.. there was a sign i saw once said "i hate when you don't follow the conversation as I had it rehearsed in my head" I get a chuckle, seriously, i think we all have this conversation running in our heads about how something should go and no sooner then you get the opening statement made when the other doesn't do what they are suppose to! it just wrecks your whole plan! well, some days, plan come together some days plans fall through, perhaps it is best to just be have a general goal and enjoy the ride life takes you on

Serenity :)

what a delightful day! i tell you this roller coaster, it does fly about at times, but it creates some of the most interesting challenges, on what and how to get from A to B, most times the way is clear, you put part A in hole B and you have a new working part, but more often then not, someone didn't get the memo, tried to stick part C in hole B and when that sort of worked through away part A leaving a mess that functions but not so good, Life isn't about making do, it's about things working as they should, not that we can change things at times, sometimes we must make do with the cards we are dealt, even then it is up to us, to bluff or fold, and me, i love a good bluff, though you never know when it may roll through, but then there is the other person syndrome, I work hard at taking responsibility for my actions, learned that as a shop owner the load of responsibility falls on my shoulders, not the trolls that hang out on the floor, is as the saying goes, a poor carpenter blames his tools, no, now days it is up to us to do what we can to make this better, to lean on friends family to share with us both our troubles and our rewards, so lift your heads high, enjoy this day and each one after, claim it as your own, as the saying below goes, change what we can, live with what we can not..  <3

Roller-coaster

What makes life such a roller coaster ride at times? I can look back these past few days, took a few days off from posting a "blog" though there has been one stirring in my mind, this one I am writing now, instead I enjoyed several remarkable chats and wrote a little story line for a few, just thoughts as they occurred.  But going back to Thursday, it was such a high, a rush, a thrill, the world just went zoom even late into the night, but Friday came and i felt that the enter zoom from the previous day slammed me into a wall!  Seriously rough day, picking parts up off the floor, just couldn't get the go going, so the weekend was work but also relax, did a few things i hadn't done for a while, and just need to shake up the tree a little, so was wondering how often other went from a rushing high to a crashing low, are high highs going to be followed by a low?  seem to me that work that way, but perhaps it is just I, chasing running so fast at time, that when i stop to catch my breath, life hasn't stopped running, and takes a little time to breath in and out and let go, can't hold onto everything, somethings you let go and other things you hold tight to..  I read one place that any high day would be followed by the low, though I am not sure how true this is, for i should have collected many high days by now  :)  was sometimes the battle to get out of the valley is long and tedious, but a friend once said to me, the corn grows best in the valley, not on the hill top..  though we enjoy the highs, we seem to learn more while traypsing through the valleys..

Lights

we are one more day closer to that wonderful day we know as Christmas, when we set aside all those thing that seem to rise against us, when we simple know that what matters are the children in are life, those precious little bundles we have been given the honor of caring for, fighting for defending, each on so precious, each on perfect in a parents eyes, this is the season, and may your caring extend far beyond that of home and hearth, of city and town, may it be a light that others see and say this is what I want to be, another light that lights another and another, and each flame we ignite brings more light into this world this realm of magic, I hope we can ignite this whole place one day, that darkness can not exist, just the caring and love of family and friend, knit together to serve and help one another..

Value of FB

these days long, full and sweet, the companionship and circle of friends always rich with love and care, how is it we often fall into such disarray, we are here to reach out when you need a hand, a shoulder, just some comforting words, we are here when you laugh you smile you cry, I have come to learn the "value" of FB does not lay in some elusive relation, but being able to communicate with such friends that I have found met and, to have been able to share, to keep sharing, to see the art that others have worked so hard to create and share these beautiful images, to admire the beauty of both woman and man, of lands far away, of lands only seen with the mind, to visit these far away places through the eyes of a friend, and through the mind of someone that will stretch, has stretched their imagination so, we look deep into those what ifs and what will bes and we write stories of great heros, fantastic lovers, of love.. but through it all the most important thing i have come to love and enjoy so very much is the love and friendships i have found and forged here, thank you all for always being who you are.. my friends

River

Of late I have missed a few times to add a little to this page, able to find and add pics from other pages, people that have inspired me with their ideas, some have trickled over to my own works, some just inspire me to write.  Alas at times all i can do is look, real life so often determines my time here, that and a few projects I have been enjoying both here and in real, this busy weekend has settled into a quiet afternoon and so i can pause a moment,  this past month such a rushing ride down a turbulent river, not real sure of the turns and twist that lay ahead, but we have managed to survive the rocks the falls the rush of water, occasionally finding a short break before plunging head long into the next set of rapids that await, the ride has been joyous, but not with out its perils and tribulations, but we press on, and the words and notes that I enjoy writing and sharing, the times of life, well we all hold on at times to crazy rides down this river of life and it nice cause i can feel so many of you holding me tight in the craft so as not to lose my way under the waves, have a great afternoon evening night, back later to enjoy the love you all share..
