Is Anybody Out There ?

Sometimes I wonder if I am just talking to myself, I suppose if I had something to give away someone would stop by now and then.......or if I posted more often !
Such a boring life....lol

Actually something great did happen this week, in spite of my daughters predictions (family joke) Not only did DH remember my Birthday (on the Right day!) but he brought me home a card and a CAKE ! And not just a cake either, a Cheesecake !!!
I feel really special - lol ;-))

P.s. if you do happen by and read this please leave a comment (just say Hi!) so I'll know if anyone ever reads this or not ;-))

Blessed are the meek and the mild for they shall inherit the earth.I am glad you enjoyed the you tube video..it is awesome..I I just had to post it..as it is so much what I believe..kindness knows no religion.
Happy Belated Birthday Ida..cake sounds yummy..I hope you had a great day..and have many more great days..I wish we could have tea togethor...
Labrador is cold and sunny today..the little one is asking for pizza..and the dog and cat are sitting by my feet..and I am waiting for my pain meds to kick in so I can start my day..! You have touched my heart in many ways..and are dear to me..as though you were a friend that lived down the road..
the other day I won an appeal..that took me 1 and 1/2 years to win..and 4 statements of financial hardship with our provincial government...who had a lien on my income tax..which I needed to care for my family..I sat with happy tears in my eyes..never once did I become like the people who had hurt me through..it all..I always treated matters with compassion and kindness..I could have been mean..put things in the press and won the appeal..a lot sooner..but I won it because of kindness and faith and honesty...and the reward was much richer in getting a government to respect the wishes of God..he asks no child to go in hunger..
Like with the school..no matter what has happened..I have never reduced myself to their level..believe it or not that scares them more...then if I was the type that did..they are not used to it..they want me to scream ..yell...bully..and be like them..but never once..have I have I given in..even though there were times..when I felt..like I could smack someone..for the harm done my child..which will take me years to fix..but he is what matters..and wasting energy being angry with them..is pointless...my energy is limited..and for him..
I did get an email ...requesting a meeting to finalize his approval for home schooling..last week..but requested that it be done by email..I want to keep all transactions in writing..so they cannot say things to me..that they later can deny..they still do not have his best interest at heart..and I can tell this by the one conversation I had..
I enjoy visiting you..and your company..my email is in profile..and your welcome to email..me at home anytime..sweet Ida..you are one of Gods Angels..and I feel it in my heart..well of to make that pizza..mix..and I will be back to read..more of your blog ..later..
big huggies, Joanne

just stopping by to say hello...been out looking around the digi scrap booking stores all day..my eyes are growing tired..smiles...thought I would check in on my friends, read the news, have a coffee and head to bed..I have been working at a new kit called bible days..from a bible that once belonged to my great great grandfather..it was alread apart so perfect to use..I am hoping it will be good for christianing and other church events that people may want to used it for..did some shoping around for some commercial use tools..to add some nice things to it..but I am so slow ...smiles..
all is well here, I got my new walker..fancy one at that...too...with breaks and a seat..sammy of course uses it like a car..with meikan pulling him..lol..a real boy for you..he got a new fish today..but for a little bit was upset..thinking because he has to take care of it ..it would die..but once I explained..momma was going to teach him what to do..he was loving it..it is a blue betta fish..easy to care for..too!..in another month I should be starting a special excersise program for women in my shape..it will help build up my lung function..a treadmill with a sling..to reduce the impact of my weight..it is going to hurt like the beejees..at first..but well..sammy is all the reason I need to do it..no pain no gain..stick it out for months and the pain is supposed to get less..so mentally getting my head ready for that..too..
keeping you in my prayers...hugs, Joanne
