Snapshot of my Past

Mother's Day 2005

Sun shone.

Air

gentle and mild

plastered faces in smiles

My first Day.

Eyes held a beginning tale

that would conclude 2 years later

when Daddy faded

(Aw shucks, that isn't a very happy mother's day poem is it? The pic was taken on my first mother's day; a few weeks after Daddy was diagnosed with cancer. Daddy's kind of help to make Mother's Day more special, so even though it is supposed to be a day to celebrate me, I tend not to be so excited. I know my girlies have special treats for me though, so I will do my best to smile for them & be a happy mommy)


Happy Mother's Day to You
& Happy Sunday 160.
Go visit some of the other folks
who link in and get your fill
of reading about Mommy's praises
as I am sure they will abound.

Saturday's Email of the Week: I Need to Get ME One of These

Saturday's Email of the Week

Here is the answer to my prayers! Goodbye high priced vehicles! Sayonara to gas stations! Arrivederci to emissions. Adios to societal guilt that I am wrecking the world for my children's children. Totsiens to all that noise. Bring it on!

Shhh...



Now I just have to move to the States to get one! Doh!

Good People

Happy Friday my friends!

I have been working away today, studying trees, Mother's Day ideas, new social media avenues and working on my newest Twitter presence. I took a quick break to take a peek at my blog and was pleased to see all the comments I received from yesterday's post. You guys are all too sweet!

So I will dedicate this video (from one of my favourite bands - Great Big Sea) to you "Good People" today. Hope you all have a lovely weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommas out there!

I Have Succumbed...

I tried. I really did. I dragged my feet, refused to jump on the bandwagon, and swore it would lead to no good!

 I didn’t even look at it. Not a peep!

But the pressure grew. 

AND I COULDN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

I give up! You win!

You can now find me on Twitter @KatherineKrige

( ^ )

There. A measly 55 words for you folk who have pushed me to the brink of sanity. Now I will never get any work done, sleep or probably even see my family ever again! 

Twitter! Why have you forsaken me!!!

Oh G-Man, what does the future hold now? I shall just have to avoid any more work for the day and tweet out all of the Flash 55s I come across at your place. 

(Please Lord save me from the social media world I have been sucked into. I am weak!)

But Geez its FUN!

My Rainbow

A

green orb

fills my head

leaking indigo

through my hair,

down my shoulders.

I struggle to breath

as I always do.

body 

too wrapped

up  in  relaxing 

to know how

to just be.

Red sparks

pulse to pink blankets

gently resting on my chest

warming that stitched together

semblance of a 

heart that

no longer beats.

Begin.

The  sun  rises

golden yellow filling mine eyes,

chest and radiating out thine arms

to fill the room. 

It breathes for me.

Melting 

melting the tight knots

of yesterday's cares & dreams

Until orange remains

that tender power

wisping its way in to fill

what remains of my 

subconscious 

hurts

allowing them

to kindle and fire

a belly not known to 

resist

as icy hands

smooth wrinkles

in swollen knee joints

and my eyes open 

to a day changed

by the breath

and love

of

Friends

A Metta Meditation offered today

May you be safe from inner and outer harm

May you be filled with peace and loving kindness

May you be filled with strength and health all of your days

I need to practice this myself today,

but offer loving kindness to you

and the world as well.

Peace my friends
