New Year's Resolution's

I don't even recall making any New Year's resolutions last year. So should this year be any different? I usually take it one day at a time. There are some things I would like to change about myself. More importantly I would like to write more and keep my blog up to date. I love to write poetry, right now I am trying to find my true calling in life. One would think after all these years I would know exactly what I want to really be. I admit I am a bit of a dreamer, so are alot of famous people though, right? Sometimes, I feel like a totaly different person inside a body that doesn't belong to me. Maybe because it is this body of flesh doesn't relate to the real me. How can this be? I feel so young and alive inside. I want to climb mountain tops, swim in the oceans of blue. My heart is good, I want to do good. We are at war within ourselves, looking for a way out. Freedom is it really attainable? My heart's desire is to go to Hawaii. Will it happen this year? Well I am on a journey in a foreign land.

Encouragement

Never think you are too old;
Be brave, courageous, and bold.
Never think you are too young;
There is still many songs to be sung.
Never think you are too poor;
God will see you have more.
Never think you are too weak;
God will give you the strength you seek.
Never give up on your dreams;
Nothing is really bad as it seems.
Love life and live my friends,
It is a new year, start afresh, and dream big!

How I feel about healthcare reform and How my views have changed

I wrote a poem about exactly how I feel about this. Not sure if anyone else agrees, just my opinion. I also have been submitting my poetry on a cool website I have found called MyOwnVerse. So here's my poem on the subject of the new healthcare reform.

I used to love this great land,
until socialist politicians took a stand.
I work hard and pay my insurance fees.
The government is blind and no longer sees.
Wait and see you will be on a waiting list;
you can scream and pound your fist.
Your pleas will fall upon deaf ears.
Cold hands will grip your inner fears.
Can't believe what this nation has become;
Where has all this negativity come from?
From sea to shining sea;
Used to mean so much to me.
Guess I have to learn just to
throw my hands up in the air.
Is there anyone out there,
that can really care?

Okay I got that off my chest. Hope everyone is having a great Monday.

Another poem-Maybe I Heard It In A Song

Maybe I heard it in a song,
These feelings inside my heart seem so very strong;
What happened to the love we once shared?
You used to hold my hand,
til I put on that wedding band.
We once could talk for hours. you bought me
gifts and showed how much you cared.
Maybe I heard it in a song.
This pain in my heart continues to grow stronger:
I start to feel I cannot take it any longer.
Memories of how it used to be,
play like a reel in my mind.
If only I could make you see.
So now I search my soul;
not knowing what I will find.
Maybe I heard it in a song.
What is marriage all about?
These feelings inside are filling me with doubt.
I'm left to really wonder what is true love?
It keeps playing in my thoughts, time and time again;
An uphill battle I must win,
Maybe, just somehow, Maybe I heard it in a song.

Springtime

Today is the first day of spring. However, it does not feel like spring for the specific reason it is snowing outside, very cold and windy. I do dream of warmer fare, perhaps that will put me in the mood for writing and keeping up my blog. Last month was filled with trips to the hospital with husband and taking care of him. Just doing this seems to zap my strength. Spring is a time of renewal and the sun shining just makes the dreary blahs fad away. So please be patient and I promise that there is going to be new and exciting things to come. Love all.

Wind Of Change Is Blowing

It's so sad when others can't forgive;
They drag things out and in the past they live.
Mole Hills turn into mountains;
Little spigots into erupting fountains.
Letting go of past mistakes;
Painful memories inside your mind;
grow from ponds into lakes.
Take a real look at who you are;
Search your soul and answers can't be far.
Don't let your wounds fester;
Be brave and stand tall against the tester.
A wind of change is a blowing;
Rivers of forgiveness flowing.

Upcoming Event #AnipalRoadTrip Friday, Jan. 22nd, 11AM EST

I am getting real excited about a upcoming #AnipalRoadTrip scheduled for this Friday, January 22nd, 11AM EST. This is going to be a really get away time for us anipals that have been cooped up on these long cold winter days. We are going to Barbados which is absolutely lovely this time of year. I actually get to be the pilot of the learjet we are taking borrowed by @nickdevious. There will be plenty of exotic food and drink both on and off the plane. We also have our own personnel DJ provided by @Dogstoyevsky. There will also be some very beautiful flight attendents catering to all our needs one of them, hopefully, is our own @MedusaJ. Please remember to pack the sunscreen and tanning lotions, beach towels, swimsuits, etc. Once we land in Barbados we will be met by a luxary limo and ride in style to the beachfront hotel. So hopefully you can attend our little getaway vacation and have some fun in the sun.

Life is like a Winding Road

Life can be like a winding road;
Hairpin curves at every turn,
Curves that make your stomach turn;
Curves that give you heartburn.
The road can steep or it can be low;
Made of asphalt or gravelled.
It can be a back road or one that is
well travelled.
Life can be what you make of it;
Which can be lemonade or spit;
Choose to make the best it has to offer
Let go and let the Higher Power do the rest.
If you follow the winding road long enough,
eventually it will straighten out;
This is when you can truely see
what life is all about.

Why I Love My Cats

Why do I love my cats so much you may ask?
The answer is easy and I will tell you why.
Cats do not discrimate;
Cats do not judge by sex, age, or race,
they will only look lovingly in your face.
Cats will listen like a true friend,
you can tell them your deepest, darkest secrets,
and they will never share.
You secret will be safe in their care.
Cats seem to know when you have a rough day;
They will be whimisical even ask you to play.
Cats even have a mysterious side that is true;
like the Egyptian Mau.
So now you know the reason why;
Cats are the best I do not lie.

Reflections

Words on a warm breeze whisper to me;
Like the long lost ship submerged at sea.
Looking at my past, the what could have been,
The regrets.
Water cascades into pools the tears I shed;
The present life reflects.
From within my soul beckons to me
A dream, a vision
A remembrance of faith shines into the depth
Of my heart
Of not so long ago
Then I remember to rejoice in all things;
I give praise until my heart sings.
Positivity will see you through,
Dreams still can come true.

Beaver Loves Everyone

Good afternoon to all my adoring fans. MOL I hope everyone has enjoyed the new year, although it has started off being terribly cold. I am, however, a housecat. Last year around this time of year when the temperatures were just as cold, I decided to slip out the front door when my dad wasn't looking, he was getting the mail. Well, I got the shock of my life. That day changed me from ever wanting to venture out again. That cold air made my little gold eyes almost freeze from cold and fright. Luckily, I was discovered to be absent within a few minutes. I vowed then never again. I love my home and I am a fortunate kitty. I have play pals, my favorite is Wally, he has a beautiful tuxedo coat all shiny too. We wrestle and play, he is fussy though, he dont like me messing up his fur. I also love to just pester the girl cat Princess. That is just because she is a drama queen and always telling mom I hurt her, I don't. I just chase her, she is 13 year old kitty, I am trying to keep her youthful. Heard that exercise is good for making you feel young again. Then there is my Uncle Tigger a big longhair kitty that is also a senior cat of 13 years old too. He is mostly sleeping most of the time, but when he is awake we know to behave ourselves or get a tongue lashing. Mom calls him Tiggy, he is what you call the alpha-romeo. He gets upset at me and my youthful ways of play, he can hiss like a tiger. I am going to start hissing at mom if she doesnt start writing more on this blog. I want to be in the spotlight! Kitty nosetaps to all.
