Mom & Dad's 45th wedding anniversary!!!

2009-02-08T12:24:00.001-07:00

So.. 45 years together! WOW! Happy Anniversary mom & dad

45 years - what does that entail? The wedding - dad 'running' to the border: was it because he owed mom so much money? Or just a scare-d-cat cat? Look at the life you would have missed out on... Mom - such a beautiful bride!!! Crazy to marry this wild boy.. but what the hell... there was so much excitement and fun ahead....

Living in a trailer in the middle of a river... just to avoid parents? or just to have a little quiet fun?

Brian - your proud baby boy - what a handful of love and joy
Then Michelle - you should have stopped there, no seriously! She's the daughter that balanced out Brian's 'lust for adventure'! So beautiful but scared the hell out of you because of the surgeries and kidney problems!!!
Ah yes.. Denise - I said you should have stopped at Michelle!!!! Michelle became the middle child that 'encouraged' the fights and destruction... and Brian and Denise played right into it... Denise's sweet innocent look... HA!!!

the kids.. we had AWESOME times... there were hard, bad times too... but we stayed together (for the most part) there were fights and arguments... but there was always love.

Then us 'little bundles of joy' moved out and went on our own... What was left in that empty house??? The two people that fell in love so long ago.

Mom & Dad - you've endured the hardships of time - but are still together for the love - good times and bad - you are still one love... one voice... one family!

Congratulations on 45 years -

With all our love and devotion:

Love Denise & Terry

P.S..... Oh yea - I don't think anyone else would have you!! LOL HAhahaaaa

Depression

2008-04-29T22:30:00.003-06:00

Stress: The confusion created when one's mind overrides the bodies basic essential to choke the living shit out of some asshole who desperately needs it - Author Unknown.

Quite a simple, yet very truthful short way to sum up stress. But how to sum up depression??? I have been trying to sum up and explain depression to people that don't suffer from it. This is what I have come up with:

You are alone - you are walking at night in a dark alley in the pouring rain... the cloud is just over your head and you have no way to protect yourself. You come to a corner where there is a brightly lit restaurant with large windows. You can feel the warmth and love in the room. When your eyes adjust, you realize that the room is filled with everyone you love - they are all laughing, eating, talking and having the time of their lives. You knock on the window... at first no-one notices, so you knock again. This time the room stops buzzing and everyone turns to look at you. You smile and wave, looking for the entrance. Just then everyone scowls at you; someone gets up and closes the drapes and the room erupts with laughter. That moment that you realize you are not welcome... that is depression. That feeling, however, is over you for days... weeks.. whatever. That black cloud - lingering, hovering.... enveloping your entire existence.

Wow

2008-04-11T03:53:00.001-06:00

Wow - my last entry got someone's guilt to pay their bill....

Stand up for what you believe in - and stand up for your friends/family! Either wise bullies will run your life!!!!

Boycott!

I know this is far away for some of you on the E mail list, but please... help me support this cause: Don't go to Smutty's in Hinton, AB.

I have two dear friends that I consider family in the town of Hinton. They both own business and help out any way they can in this community. I will give you a brief lowdown on their situation...

Friend one has maintenance company and rushed over to assist the owner of Smutty's in Hinton when there was a problem... this was WELL over a year ago and the owner of Smutty's still hasn't paid the bill siting that he felt it was too much. Let's see -40oC weather, an emergency call out, crew and equipment... I would expect to pay a bit for that.

Friend two has a small but beautiful shop in town. This woman has a heart of gold and would help anyone. She is so kind and gentle.... Smutty's in Hinton has taken advantage of this. Smutty's remodeled after cashing in on the Hinton boom and the oil worker's. A lot of companies remodeled after that. They (the owner) was in a bind to decorate their 'new' place and my friend was approached to help. They bought over $10,000 in stuff from her store - now let me tell you.. she almost sold this to them at cost - making little to no profit. She knew they needed the help. They were to pay her just after new year. It is now April (almost 4 months) and after talking to the owner of Smutty's and sending notices in the mail.... nothing. Not a dime. This is money out of her pocket now.

I know that there is claims court and procedure. But I have made a decision NEVER to grace Smutty's in Hinton again with my business until these bills are paid. Help me support these people and avoid Smutty's in Hinton.

Another sad day for our Mounties

2007-10-06T19:28:00.000-06:00

Constable Worden was shot and killed while responding to a complaint at a home in Hay River, Northwest Territories, at a approximately 5:00 am.

Dispatchers lost radio contact with him after he arrived at the scene, and then sent additional units to check on him. The responding constables found Constable Worden suffering from gunshot wounds.

Constable Worden had served with the RCMP for 5 years. He is survived by his wife and young child.

WASTE!

2007-07-16T07:48:00.001-06:00

The idea of having a nuclear power plant in ANY part of Alberta is disturbing close to our home let alone any place in this world. We may not have earthquakes, but we do have severe weather such as tornadoes and +40 oC to -40 oC weather.

The other main issues we are concerned about with this Nuclear Power Plant in High Level or Whitecourt is the people in these communities and the ones down river from the plant. The nuclear waste is evident to be harmful to the people and the environment. What will be done to the nuclear waste that is produced by this (these) plants?

We are very concerned about the people in the Athabasca Lake area that already have to deal with the pollution and death from the oil, gas and forestry industries upstream from them. We live out side of Hinton and see our friends here die of cancers and breathing disorders that have never been addressed. The town pumps its 'treated' waste into the Athabasca River, along with the garbage from the pulp mill and away it goes downstream. Adding nuclear waste to this will be detrimental, not helpful.

We are a VERY windy area - why hasn't someone from the government installed wind generators? It's very sunny here all year long, why hasn't the government proposed solar power?

We feel that the reason behind all of this is money: Who's going to make the most?

When are we going to stop sacrificing people's lives for the all mighty dollar? From government think tanks that are over consulted to the over zealous pushers of these negative energy sector companies - people are just over run with information and don't want to speak up, until it's too late.

What Canada is doing, slowly, to the health of its people - Death - is this the answer to our energy crisis?

2007-04-10T17:21:00.000-06:00

Ah yes... 'tis almost SPRING in the Rockies and I can feel the life starting to awaken from its deep winter sleep (yes.. the bears too).

We were in Vancouver on March 31st and the beautiful cherry blossoms enveloped us. The daffodils were a beautiful yellow and the greenery was EVERYWHERE....

But not here - in Northern Alberta. It was sadly still winter. This weekend seemed to change a lot. It got up to +22oC and everything melted. Our grass is now changing a bit and I noticed today that the trees are starting to get that first fluff - just before the leaves decide to come out.

Oh goody, goody, goody!!!!!!

Jesus H Christ!!!!

2007-04-08T10:11:00.000-06:00

So... I've been thinking - and I don't know where it came from first of all, but the idea got planted in my brain and now it is there for a while....

This Christian/Easter thing - and the 'ritual' that a lot do.

Taking the 'body of Christ' through a stale cracker that the priest or whatever had laying around in his cassock for 100 years.

Then drinking 'the blood of Christ' or some cheap grape juice or regurgitated wine from the wine tasting tests the night before - you know - the spit bucket.

*Here's my theory - Christian's are CANNIBALS!*

Well - think about it... That fairy tale book they read doesn't say 'Thou shalt not eat each other'. People die of old age - what if Christians are just burying rocks or lead in the casket (Hmmmm - cassock/casket - nice) and turning dear old grand ma into Christ Cookies???? Then mixing her blood with left over wine spittoon and Whalla - insta-Christ.

Oh - and why couldn't Jesus had married Mary M... Hell (*grin*) why marry her - just get some Ohlala on and - hey.... maybe she performed Christ fellitao!!!! Would Jesus had cried out "OH GOD" when he reached orgasm? or would his 'dear 'ole dad, looking down from the heavens state: "now that's a hummer!"

Here's a twist: Jesus was actually a woman - yea - a lesbian.... And Mary Magdalen was her mistress... Hey now THAT would be a movie!

Back to the Christ Cookies: Maybe eating each other for so long has warped their common sense and that's why they don't accept other cultures/religion/sexual preferences. What if the government is trying to control Christians through Christ cookies that are implanted with mind control devices??!!??!! Hey.... Has anyone ever seen Doubya ever take a Christ cookie from the same pile as everyone else... or does he get the non-government-altered-grand ma- Christ cookie?????

Think about that for 3 minutes.... Now THAT'S a theory!

Pine Beetle

2007-03-25T07:43:00.000-06:00

I am truly sorry that some of you live in a fantasy world about the illustrious pine beetle...

One must look at the reason WHY it spread so out-of-control so fast… Look to your own ‘pine beetle experts’! When we had a few beetles, they set pheromone traps to see how these little bugs travel: Hmmm… more unnecessary testing by our genetically altering experts. As the beetle moved from area to area, ravishing the forests, the tests went on and on, especially in our beautiful parks – Federal and Provincial.

This now brings in a whole new mystery – as the light bulb turns on overhead – this is allowing big business to enter previously restricted areas so they can log it; and we sat by applauding them to ‘stop the pine beetle’, when in reality they had us where they wanted us.

They have logged many beautiful places, or burned, or left a few to show the world how horrid this beetle is and yet we are doing ‘everything’ we can to stop it when we started it in the first place.

I applaud the government on it’s greatest illusion yet – and people are buying your bullplunk.

.... I post this on my blog as it seems they are trying to 'edit' me on Globe & mule!

News

2007-02-23T21:55:00.000-07:00

So I've been pondering this past while of all the downer information from the news this past while... Isn't February the longest short month of the year.. I mean it seems to drag on and on - until it's over then it never seems to have been here at all.... Yes.. I'm confused.

Oh yes.. back to the news. There really doesn't seem to be any good, happy news anymore.

So instead I watched the Winnipeg Comedy Festival - I love CBC! One comedian stated:

The only difference between George Bush and Hitler was Hitler's dad wasn't an arms dealer.

I almost peed my pants!

A good laugh at the truth!

So I got my official appointment today and although I was being paid by my new company to train.... It is now official. I have 2 new jobs rather than that highly stressful last one and I am LOVING it!!!!!!

Thanks to my family & friends for their support over the last few weeks/months/years......

I'm BACK! Wohoooooo

Last Day

2007-01-31T22:06:00.000-07:00

Well... It was the last day of my now past job. I have mixed feelings:

Sadness because it was the job of my dreams.

Sheer unadulterated joy because I know that they can't try to run my life anymore.

Here is my last E mail(XXXX out are to protect the innocent):

*As many of you are aware, I am leaving the department. I have met many great people along this journey in my life and my appointment as a XXXXXXXX for the Government of XXXXXXX has been an educating and a rewarding effort but, unfortunately, management has not been overtly supportive.

My stress level has greatly decreased since I put in my resignation and my well being has been lifted. Many of you are aware of the circumstances as to why I am leaving my position: a few even supported my plight. To those of you - Thank you.

I wish you all the best of luck.

I will miss being a XXXXXXXX. I am so proud of the job that I did - the people, the industry, the safety, the days where I was covered in grease/ice/mud from an inspection all the way to showing children what we do on XXXXXXXX Safety Nights. It really crushed my spirit to be forced to give up my dream job - but when I saw that there was no where left for me, it was time I continued on with my life rather than allowing to feel as I would be subjected to another 20 years + of being miserable and degraded. My last official day is January 31, 2007.

If I have left out anyone on the E mail, please forward to them as it is unintentional.

Sincerely & Regretfully

D*

I think it said it all!!!!!

Strange story amazing fallacies......

2007-01-24T20:53:00.000-07:00

So I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be recognized as a white/non-Christian. Don’t get me wrong; I believe in God, or at least a higher power, just not organized religion, per say.

So I had to fly from Vancouver to Edmonton this past Sunday as I was in Vancouver celebrating the life of my great uncle. The word funeral is so… well… flat! Finished! Over…. After watching Little Mosque on the Prairie, I wondered what it would be like to be a Muslim woman. Now let me first state that I meant NO disrespect whatsoever…. If anything I wanted to learn – as I believe that ignorance fuels racism. My friend Nan just gave me a beautiful blue silk scarf, so I made myself up with a chador - hijab (I looked like a fat, pale, Egyptian) to see people’s reactions. http://www.themuslimwoman.com/

I received everything from overtly nice people that commented how beautiful I was to a stewardess that made rude huffing gestured towards me every time she passed. As I watched her she would ensure that she had one eye on me while she served others and always snarled. I even had a group of young men behind me, on the way down the platform, comment that the airlines must not care about Canadian flights, as it’s obvious ‘they’ will let any terrorist onboard.

The strange thing is that I had been sitting in the waiting area to board my flight and no one noticed me until I put on my hijab.

When I got off the plane and was just about to meet my overly-red-necked-dirty-unshaven-husband, I removed the scarf and put it around my neck again. To my surprise could over hear a group of women from my flight complain on how blasphemous I was. Strange… as I just wore a scarf on my head and probably didn’t even have it on properly.

Then... to top everything else off I received my luggage 5 to 10 minutes after everyone else and it had obviously been gone through.

Cleaning my desk out... for good!

2007-01-10T20:43:00.000-07:00

So I’ve started cleaning out my desk and getting ready to leave my department. I’m in conflict; I am energized that I will not be treated like dirt anymore, but this is the job I always wanted.

I know this is for the best – especially for me mentally – but I’ll miss educating people & helping: if the department had only let me do my job. They hire adults to do a job and then treat them as children…. I think with years of life experience along with a 3.85 GPA that the glass ceiling would have been removed – HA! The department just made it a glass box to see what I could do to help people – and then take away my ability to do so.

Off to better things…

Extreme Quadding

2007-01-08T14:06:00.000-07:00

Oh Yea.... the title said it all....

A group of us went out winter extreme quadding... I found a NICE frozen pond to do doughnuts...

I caught the edge and flipped the quad onto myself… Good thing my husband was there to help!

Under 3 layers of clothes…. My right elbow got the ‘best’ of it… Nice colour!

2007-01-04T20:58:00.000-07:00

My Job

2007-01-04T19:08:00.000-07:00

Well... I’m quitting my current job – WHAT A RELIEF! Don’t get me wrong – I LOVE MY JOB – This was my dream job…. But those of you who know me - it was the proverbial glass ceiling and BFWM stopping me.

I have multiple job offerings and I’m seriously considering a few of them. I’m going to look after ME. Too many people let their job run their lives… Not me – NOPE no more… The only way I have found to break the glass ceiling is to get away from it altogether!

I feel like I am once again a free spirit and can get on with my life.

2006

2006-12-30T21:21:00.000-07:00

I haven’t blogged in some time… I know. I was silent – not knowing what to write when my inner mind was going a million miles an hour. I think I’m doing MUCH better – and just recently. I think 2007 may be a new beginning for me – I hope- a new way to heal – a new way to become ME again.

I will welcome in 2007 quietly with my husband and my dog. I will take baby steps in becoming better – in health and in life. I will wake up January 01, 2007 and not expect too much out of life except what I will make of it.

************************************************************************

It has been a year of turmoil and stresses… a year of great joys and great sadness – and now it ends on a cliché:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20061230.whussein-execution1230/BNStory/International/home

If you can’t go to the link, it is about Hussein’s execution. Everyone in the world has his or her opinion of this man (and I use the term man lightly). He murdered, raped, pillaged his own people to the point of horrid proportions, and yet the UN/US let him continue for years. Now his breath is silent, his final words linger, his end. They (you know who I mean) have made this mad man a mytar, another excuse to kill, a beginning of more to come.

________________________________________________________________________

Be kind to the people around you and touch the lives of those who you meet. Make this year a year of happiness and joy and leave a positive mark wherever you go…

Then read this blog – DAILY! To start things off right!

Think/Thoughts

2006-07-18T23:01:00.000-06:00

So there was a train derailment near my home…cutting me and my town off from the world. SO WHAT you say???? The stupid private train company has NO contingency plan in place for our safety and they blocked the only entrance/exit possible.

Actually, we got through it OK and there were no Dangerous Goods on board.

I want to voice my opinion:

Suspect in killing of two Saskatchewan Mounties turns himself in:

This is the news headline. The dirty bastard that killed 2 of Canada’s finest turned himself in. He is charged with killing Robin Cameron, 29 and Marc Bourdages, 26.

He (the bastard himself) has been convicted of threatening highway traffic officers and even assaulting one.

He is scum… no, no… please I won’t hold anything back…. A good old-fashioned hanging in town square – along with anyone else that is convicted of being a cop killer. HE HAD FRAKIN’ PRIORS for this behavior… but so did that other ****er from the Mayerthorpe-area.

When will justice be served to those who have died at the hands of another? When will the slain have peace? Who will protect those who have sworn to protect society?

Have a moment of silence for Cameron and Bourdages. Remember that Cameron was a single mom of an 11 year old girl and Bourdages leaves behind a wife and 9 month old son.

Earth

2006-07-13T22:46:00.000-06:00

So.. I’m sitting here wondering why…

Why? You say? Why What?

Well… I’m amazed on the beauty all around me.. the Rockies, the trees, the animals, the water… and I’m wondering why we, as humans, have desecrated this earth?

I know it’s a lot to think about... but really. Why are we allowed to ROAM the earth & destroy just about everything we touch and yet a beaver builds a dam and man has to destroy it because it doesn’t fit into the ‘scheme’ of things. Why a tree starts to grow beside a busy highway and man (I mean People) has to go and chop it down because it may be in the wrong spot.

Have we, as humans got to a point where our usefulness has run out? At one time we worked with the land and the contours of it… cultivating, learning, growing within our environment. Now we just plow right through it and don’t seem to give a shit about the destruction it causes.

I know that people ‘care’ about their environment, up to a certain point: until it interrupts with their way of life, but will we ever get back to really caring for this earth and the creatures that should have it in the first place?

Thoughts?

Good bye my friend!

2006-07-09T11:36:00.000-06:00

On Friday at 2330 hrs Terry & I left for Pincer Creek AB to say good bye to a friend... an extended member of our Family, Don Glen. Although we only knew him for a short time, Don made sure that we, and everyone around him, were treated as family. He opened his heart, his home, and his life up to everyone he had the pleasure to know.

My life is better for knowing Don and he will be truly missed.

We arrived back home safely at midnight, Saturday: our hearts saddened by this tremendous loss.

Don: Thank you for everything you did in our lives. You will be truly missed! Good bye my friend.

Also to Johnny Mack & his family.... thank you for your hospitality. Your's is truly a generous heart!

Question
How can the human race survive the next hundred years?

In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years?
You are:
dot_216
Your Answer:
It can’t unless we quit relying on fossil fuels and limiting the chaos that it causes, all over the globe.

Stephen, I respect you and your ideas, but we cannot continue to explore and expand this world, or further, until we repair the damage that we, as humans, have caused.

Negative human growth is a key. There are too many humans. This is plain and simple.

Thank you

What to do with a Neighbour you just CAN'T get a long with??

2006-06-19T21:40:00.000-06:00

Predicament:

So we had a neighbour move in next door to us that I haven’t liked from day 1. He shot a dog of ours (she’s alive and I got the bullet out – she now lives with my mom & dad MILES away)… we have ¼ acre fenced in yard.

I’ve tried to be nice… Forgive & forget???? Right? I’ve tried. He has problems with his lawn mower so the other day I mowed between his fenced yard and the boulevard while I was doing mine and the neighbour on the other side of this guy (she has BAD allergies so we mow her grass as often as ours).

My husband was outside just now, washing his car, and my neighbour pipes up over the fence and states: “did you mow that part of the lawn.” Husband: “no, my wife did when she was doing everyone else’s.” Neighbour: “Don’t ever fucking do that again.”

NICE communication skills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What to do???? We tried.

Learn from the women… draw from the crowd… WIN Lord Stanley’s Cup and bring it home.

Something I posted on an acquaintances blog.....

2006-06-09T22:29:00.000-06:00

I stepped away from the church a long time ago. The bible was written by a group of fundamentalist right-wingers of their time and translated by men. Hmmmmmm and you want one??? A man I mean. I think the bible is a string of psychotic episodes induced by the male ego!

Oh don’t get me wrong… I believe in a higher power – a GOD that is an entity beyond what humans can comprehend… but not so out of existence that we all can’t be a part of. I have to believe that there is something out there… better…after death… because if I don’t I end up having a panic attack and having to take more meds! Ahhhhh Paxil… my friend!

If it wasn’t for Paxil would end up writing a book of the bible… oh wait… I’m not allowed… I don’t have a penis and I’m not right-winged. Tehee.

Terry & I cancelled Christmas, for the most part. Why celebrate a pagan holiday the Christians took over to shop at Wal-Mart? Money, money, money, money… That’s what it’s all about. Let’s believe that Christ died for our sins but shop at a store that promotes child labour across the world and non-union fundamentalist practices of suppressing low-income women’s rights… Whew… That’s deep for 5:45 in the morning… I have t quit having migraines and sleeping so long!

Family Day - Feb 20

2006-02-20T05:26:00.000-07:00

We have a holiday in Alberta called FAMILY DAY…

Not everyone gets it off…. But it is really nice to have in the middle of a long, drawn out winter.

I think it should be a national holiday.

Thoughts?

Death

2006-02-18T21:58:00.000-07:00

Such a morbid subject, but a topic that people face as they get older. Who are we… why are we here? What happens after we die?

A friend of my parents and brother recently killed himself. Why? Only he knows the truth and yet he leaves behind grief and disparity.

I had a friend kill himself when I was 18. He hung himself. He left a note that stated he felt he had no true friends. I think that hurt me more than anything: if he had only disclosed his true feelings – what more could I have done? It has been almost 17 years and I still think of him often. I have had a cousin and an uncle take their own lives and for what?

I’m still here because of the medication I’m on. I can now see the pattern of depression in these people. Being SO sad that you just want to die. 5 years ago I couldn’t even comprehend this thought. Today I look back at how close I was to ending my own life because “everyone would be better without me”. Those of you that have never suffered from depression… it must be a strange concept. But this is what goes through the minds of people that have a broken brain. My WONDERFUL Dr. once told me that if you break your arm you go in and get it fixed. When I was scared and contemplating medication I had never thought of my brain in that matter. Now here I am… 2 years later…. Medicated with a FIXED brain! What a concept. I know that I may be on PAXIL (reg. trademark http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/fc122.htm ) for the rest of my life, but I also realize that I would not have much of a life… if any… without it!

Those of you that want to get better and want to chat to someone that has survived depression…. E me at dot_216@yahoo.ca … Death is not the answer nor does it ‘fix’ anything in other’s lives. Your friends and family live on…… without you…. With the pain and regret that only you could have solved…..

Life

2006-02-01T05:14:00.000-07:00

It's after 5 am... I only went to bed around 2 am... Why? Have a lot on my mind. Like why is the government so political? Why do us women still let the male monkey's think that they can run the earth? Does W'ya know he's a doodle head & the ENTIRE world is laughing at him? Does my dog know that her farts are totally gross? ... Notice how I think of farts RIGHT after W'ya!!!! Why do people think it's OK to break the law, until they get caught?

I miss my husband. He leaves on Sunday or Monday and doesn't come home until Friday or Saturday.... I don''t see him a lot until the weekend.. and then he's too tired to visit. Just another male monkey's bright idea to chase after the all mighty dollar. How come we even have money? Why can't we live and work for the honour and love of it? Why am I asking so many questions at this hour?

How can I be SO tired and not be able to sleep?

It’s almost 2006 and I am happy…

The husband unit & I decided to cancel Christmas this year and ended up with the flu! Oh DON’T get this one… 102oC fever for 4 days… YUCK. Then I got a migraine and the coughing, etc… I would have accepted death at that point.

There are good and bad points to the New Year. I’m wondering if anyone does up a New Years resolution? I want to lose weight, be more tolerant, help out more, don’t bitch as much, and oh the list goes on.

Any suggestions on your past resolutions?

It’s my mom’s birthday in a few days… What do you get the woman who is everything? My dad is hard to buy for also… They really don’t need ‘stuff’. But I still want to show the parental units how much I care.

Work is good. The new boss seems awesome so far…. And he puts up with me!

Happy Holidays and a safe and prosperous New Year to all that reads my Blog….

Here’s my OLDER, but much more beautiful, sister Michelle… taking back her health and life. I am SO proud of her.. but at the same time.. Ashamed of myself.

I make EVERY excuse possible NOT to get in shape… Yes.. round is a shape… but it’s unhealthy also – both physically & mentally.

You’re AWESOME Michelle… keep up the great work ‘out’.

Rest in Peace my Sister…

Shoulder to shoulder I will join you some day.
We will rise up in heaven and protect
Those who have judged us along the way.

The shift is now covered by those who care
For your family and friends and your beat down here.

Rest in peace my sister
Your day has come.
We’ll take it from here
Until we are done.

Please support your local Police & Peace Officers!

http://www.odmp.org/canada/

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"

Nearing the end of May

2005-05-23T21:03:00.000-06:00

As we near the end of May, already, I wonder where the time has gone. I was going to start to lose weight by now… I was going to find a new job by now… I was going to fix up the house by now… I was going to…. Well… procrastinate! … I’m good at that!

This month started out with a bang and now it’s Victoria Day and I’m relaxing. The next 2 weeks or so are going to be he!! at work: traveling and being away from Hubby and puppy. I hate that. I am SUCH a homebody now that I’m older. Our favorite past time is curling up and watching cartoons on a rainy weekend day, then napping. Napping is good. It should be a part of everyone’s day! If I were Prime Minister… Tehee.

The Queen was in Jasper this weekend and I so wanted to go see her. She wanted to relax without too much around her and I really don’t blame her. She did pick the most beautiful part of the world for a vacation. No, I didn’t go. I respected her quiet time.

I planted flowers and cleaned the house. Hubby mowed the lawn and relaxed. Life is way too short not to enjoy gardening and relaxing: flowers are like poetry for your soul.

AURORA

2005-05-03T22:42:00.000-06:00

Happy May… It’s starting out as a BANG here. We have thunder and lightning day & night and FINALLY rain… It’s bringing life and a new beginning.

Haven’t heard from the dolt that tried to break in… and my puppy, Shasta isn’t sick from biting him… I hope things are safe now.

I wrote and published a poem a while back. Please, let me share!

Aurora

Aurora
Flaring in the northern sky
Lovely
Dancing over the Earth
Beautiful
Untouched by human destruction
Encompassing
Filling my soul with peaceful bliss
Relentless
Bringing peace to the world
Timeless
Forever standing the tests of time
Aurora Borealis
