Happiness to all the world. This is the time of year for resting with the family and good friends. Appreciate the relationships that we do have.

Por presente - for now

Went to the RR Festival today. Went to volunteer but could not find nor contact the participants needing relief. Got a walking staff. Walked a little more than therapist wanted me too. Needing to resign as a volunteer - just don't know what to do- I thoroughly enjoyed working in the Crisis Office. Well, I need to move on any. Hope you guys had a wonderful day/weekend.

Fui un festival de tren hoy. Fui a voluntar pero nadien esta disponible para presentar. Compro un madera de caminando. Camino mas entonces mi terpista quiere. Necesito a salir de voluntario - no se como hacer lo - pero es tiempo para mover en mi carera. Ojala todos que tengan buen fin semana.

The Message - El Mensaje

What is the message you need to hear  today? All I know is that I need to be open to hear what the message is I understand and can use for my lifer improvement for that moment/day.

Welcoming the Summer

I have called the city pool for opening information. Each of us either under a fan or air condition. I pray for those that are working either outside in the heat or in a building that is out of electricity. Hanging with two beautiful young ladies: my daughter, 6, and her friend, 8. We all have been together off and on for almost a week. The mother of this child is obviously a great mother because this child will help clean house, wash dishes, teach my daughter how to organize toys, dvds, and such. It is really nice to have friends of this nature.

Speaking of friends, I am quite heart broken because my daughter and I miss the same person. The choices he made when we were 2gether he led a totally different life than we wanted for our daughter and myself. Se extranamos, Papi Luis. Gracias a su esposa para a comunicar con nosotros y gracias a dios para ella esta muy amable y logical con nosotros.

New vehicle a plus in our life. Changes in community benefits were lowered. Not worried though because God feeds, clothes, and provides out needs just like the bird story in the bible. It never fails. I just have to keep the faith. Thank you God for having me as your child. Use me and guide me to be what you want me to be & to only bring good, positive energy and love to others (esp the ones that do not really expect it.)

Gotta' go look for some little girls' clothes....Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

The summer rain

Not much of a winter this past season and we are well into Spring. Some hot, hot days and some cold, only chilly days. The inconsistancy in the normal weather has confused the passings of the seasonal allergies and other illnesses. Many people are fighting colds, allergies, congestion, etc. May is busy with many Birthdays and parties then comes the end of school and planning a summer/fall vacation. Wow, got overwhelmed trying to compare 4 different calendars. Someone will have to sacrifice.

Great night out....

I discovered the LTP - Little Town Players last night (Friday, 5/18/2012). Hidden behind the Elks Lodge (nursing home and golf course) is a little theatre with a wonderful acting crew. Last night "The Nerd" with Equity Actor from NY - Jamie Watson. Hey, cuz - you did a wonderful job. We truly enjoyed it.

OM, Law and Order just mentioned Myrtle Beach, SC golf courses. Too, too close to so much talent. There is cultural activities for all of us to enjoy, if we will just open our eyes and heart to it.

Fun, Fun, Fun.

Gratitude to all the women in my life.....

I am so grateful to God for the people put in my life here recently. Is it possible to fall in love with the same sex and just simply appreciate their personality, heart, and patience with my aggravated self? The women that have been in my life recently are so magnificent that it makes me appreciate what I never thought would ever happen is that their company, input of opinion, their ideas and voice along with having their company has been so supportive of my own weaknesses, along with the my strengths. Thank you so much all you ladies that have been in my life for the past 6 months (at least). Happy Mother's Day to you all.

I want to know....

How to post a photo to my blog. I have had a very nice lady ask me to find a home for this great puppy. Cute as all, big breed, pretty markings, mutt blend, loyalty is definitely only one of his good qualities, 8 weeks old (perfect for training), amicable, and needless to say, very snuggly. Call me 434-219-9034 with interests.

Question in topic for today.....

If I am in an intimate relationship with you and I express a need or desire then does this really make it that I am trying to 'change' you? This is one of the topics that showed up this week. I know what my answer is. I will hold on to it before exposing it to you. I want to know what your thoughts are first.

Join Me

I really like vacation life no matter where I am. I just don't function well in the robotic, automatic work place. Give me spontaneity and difference. Let me feel as if I am helping others. If I work just for hours and money forget it. That's not motivation for me. Helping others is the only way I can make it out of my house into the world; otherwise, just let me stay home with my critters and wait for my child to come home from school so I can help her.

If you like any of what you are ssing on this blog then please join us so we can multiply the numbers. Tell me what you want to hear about, or what you need to talk about.

A week later

I am enjoying my life; however, I am wishing I feel the same way I felt while traveling on the Cruis ship. Walk, walk, walk.  Eat whatever I have a taste for and actually lose weight. At home, I'm secluded, maybe by choice, don't feel as well physically to walk, walk, walk. Now, the movie with Julia Roberts, "Eat Love Pray." She goes on a journey of self while visiting places around the world. Reporting into her 'family' and 'support system' 'back home.' Reach out and help others once you have the light brighter inside yourself. Love your neighbor as you love yourself; we must love ourselves before we can honestly love others. = Isn't this part of the Golden Rules of Christ and the Holy Bible, Ala of the Kuran, the To ah, and the Budhas' teachings (all of the established world religions that are united by the same God).

Cruise ship diary update

Blog- Carnival Cruise Ship 2012

Wednesday, 02-29-2012

The ship port Key West, FL. is much like old colonial Charleston, SC. Market space rented for established stores and creative people on sidewalks with caricatures of passer bys. There are dressed up pets (mainly dogs) and guitars (or other musical equipment) for the entertainment; interesting and fun. The town is crowded because both Carnival cruise ships, Fascination and Fantasy, disembarked into the same port at the same time.

I walked from 8 A.M. until 1 P.M. A complete 5 hours in the sun rays and exercising. (No wonder I was able to lose 7 pounds this past week.) We were tired so we came inside to the stateroom for a nap.  Little Miss Princess returned earlier in the day with Aunt Shirley. They thought it was too much sun, too much heat, and too much walking for their taste. They took the bike cab back to the ship. While I was napping she was in the Camp Carnival, playing. I didn’t know nor care where everyone else was, at this point in the day/evening. I was able to call home this day and check in with my loved ones. They were missing me just like I wish they were with me; however, too much walking for their own taste, but I surely enjoyed it. While talking to them, I paused to soak in the shining off of the ocean top. The boat started to rock more than usual and enough to remind me that I was out on the open sea.

I kept a continual look out for dolphins. I only saw a few on the embarking port Jacksonville, FL or Jaxport. Since my nap was nice and long, I slept through my appointment for the sea weed wrap in the spa. The spa personnel called my stateroom for a reschedule and, boy was I glad I rescheduled later for 8 PM.  Please realize that I am normally going to bed about 8PM because of the Princesa needing to get ready for school the next morning. But this time, the party is on…

The water appeared somewhat choppy with white caps of salty water, foaming in spite of the bright sunshine brilliantly shining down on the top of the ocean like a level of clean, shiny glass. Did I mention the Sunshine? Lots of it. Lots of sunshine. Did I say there was lots of sunshine? Okay….now with that clear, let’s move on. The sea went on and on until my imagination stopped; therefore, there was no end to the open sea. On and on it went. So wide and vast, at times I felt like I was in a dessert full of water. An oxymoron? Not too sure, but when out there in the middle of the big, blue, green, and black ocean water with no idea of what is going on the other side of the top view…AMAZING. Is all I can say.

No problems with the traveling constipation. There was so much food on board and the availability was outrageous. I was warned way before I left port; therefore, I was careful to use the choices to my advantage and not demise. I picked and chose fruit and raw vegetables as many times as I could. Only 2 red meat items the rest white, fish, or tofu type food. Wonderful. On the second day of the cruise I started a detoxification program after attending the class with our fellow Brit and Macedonia cruise personal trainers. I have the Brit’s e-mail so every two weeks I will be accountable to him and I cannot wait to contact him about me losing the weight.

Cruise blog Day 1

I apologize for not having this up during the action; however, here it comes now....

Cruise Ship_Carnival Fascination

Day 1: A week ago we were in a long line on shore. Lots of different types of people all excited about getting aboard the cruise ship. Kids, adults, able bodied and not, all different nationalities and modalities. This was a fun environment for me; people doing their own thing but within the rules of the law.  How interesting it is to see the commonalities and the differences all in one large group of people.

We all spent the week together, on the sea, and at different ports. We were acquainted just enough to be safe with each other and bond in a way that if anything bad happened we would all help each other out. Having a familiar face in another port of call was really neat to see.

Following the Cruise Fascination

Even the youngster is packing and cleaning. The animals are who we will miss and, of course, those we love and invited to go with us but cannot, or will not, go for whatever reason. Needing a break from others' chaos. Ulcers have been detected. Research shows there is treatment. Stress free and good diet.....I do understand that some people put on weight when on vacation but with so much food available, then maybe its simply up to me to control what I do and do not participate in. There is a lot of walking and even exercise rooms (good for when I am incapable of walking). So there, lets see what I can do with myself while on this big boat.

Cruise Fascination - JAXPORT, FL

We are gearing up for our first cruise. The munckin' is 51/2 and I am 44. Now, for us to experience this together will be terrrrrrrrrr-ific. Clothes clean and idea of all we want to pack. Health check. Meds. Check. Even an overboard bag in case of emergency. Thinking if we end up in the ocean and around Cuba, at least I can explain to the Cubans that she is biracial latina and white; however, papers and documents, maybe even some emergency things, will fit in the bag if we encounter "overboard" processing.

Now, we are going at a time where there are a lot of bad paradigms in the media about the Cruise ships. This is why I have decided to make this post and check in at the Internet Cafe on the ship. Therefore, follow our activities throughout our trip...I may even be able to post pictures when I ever learn how to. But I will. Learning is my thing.

Stay tuned.....ship out date is Monday, February 27th, 2012 at 4pm. Boarding can start at noon. I would like to board sooner than later so I can check my surroundings out.

The cruise crew have been wonderful about contacting us on our special needs. Getting really excited, now.

I love my friend and respect 'em but I do not feel respected and very happy about sharing my home. I would like to do this with a loving, open, and happy heart; but too many changes in my own space without my prior knowledge makes me feel so uncomfortable. Had to put my soul mate to sleep this week and training a new therapy dog. This part of training is hard to do when someone goes behind you and does different things than you do with your dog. The person is a great person...maybe I am just not as loving and great (LOL) as I thought I was.

To a family birthday party this past week with those I plan to take my first cruise on soon. The only one's that made sense were the children and the relatives by marriage, not blood. I told an important person in my life I will take a writing journal and a good reading book; my tennis shoes and a water bottle. I will simply let the grandma hang and play with the youngster and I will walk, and walk, and walk, read, write, and nap...for I do not want to be influenced by these lovely family members. Now, to do some therapy Facebook gaming before I prepare to go to church. I am looking forward to seeing my church family and not soon enough.

Thank you guys for letting me vent. I am really not a negative person; but I sure do feel it right now.

I am facing a very cold and confused day. Plenty of things to do and work on. Certainly there are no boring ideas going on in this area; however, prioritising is really important right now. I am enjoying the access to the Internet right now and when I am actually awake and available to use it. I do not suggest Comcast in Lynchburg, Virginia for any of your services. They just don't cut it. I am looking for alternatives so I can be more productive in this area of technology; however, it needs to be available to me and for me in order for me to make it work for me. Comcast has really put a damper on business and socializing since I went to them. Thanks Comcast for making me realize that sometimes change is not a good thing.

okay now.....

Hey just checking in on the blogging situation. Sitting on the side lines of a family that is getting good advice; appear to listen but actions speak louder than words. Romantically, I believe it may be more of a companion thing. Then again, the man does surprise me when it comes to that. I want to rush in and "save" him but I do love him and respect all parties involved, more of myself than others. The respect for the learning experience and a true healing experience involves those pangs of 'growing pains.' We thought they were bad as teens. Watching someone you love having to go through something you already have an idea, due to past experience with them, know what the result(s) are.

This is where true love and Godly love comes in. It hurts but in the long run the person will have a better chance of a better life if I stay out of it. I have been able to share what I need to about my thoughts, feelings, and position on things and that's all I need to do. The rest is up to others. Even a child must be responsible to a certain extent of the way their life turns out. My honorable responsibility as a parent is to help them through it with as many options that are available to them at the time of the decision making. If I do not want this position then I need to give that child to someone else that can objectively have that child's interests at heart. Isn't this the same with a potential life partner? Wounded or not, there is always room for improvement on one's self.
