I am learning that if I read,listen and surround myself with positive, uplifting words, sights, and people, I am truly transformed from the inside. Your gift is an example of what I am seeking out now. You really spoke my heart today. Thank you. <br /><br />♥namaste♥Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128247878961221421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-51849999749734661972010-10-04T05:50:14.399-07:002010-10-04T05:50:14.399-07:00I think you might as well to win the Pulitzer Priz...I think you might as well to win the Pulitzer Prize with this poem Chris!

Diamonds are only considered precious because of the demand. I like looking through the thrift stores too. We have been so busy here lately that we are taking the day off today, just going to read and cook and nap. We are going to have a garage sale next weekend and have started packing the rest of the things; we are moving at the end of the month. Moving on for a new adventure to a very small town.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-30009719843824197932010-10-03T03:53:15.123-07:002010-10-03T03:53:15.123-07:00i think riding a hawk would be right cool...trying...i think riding a hawk would be right cool...trying to remember what a gerund is...smiles.<br /><br />hope you win that pulitzer...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-44299271411413127502010-10-03T03:50:30.380-07:002010-10-03T03:50:30.380-07:00Beautiful, my mind, my imagnation, my heart is fly...Beautiful, my mind, my imagnation, my heart is flyng...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915236568015079389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-17217278558213379982010-10-03T03:06:50.447-07:002010-10-03T03:06:50.447-07:00Who needs diamonds and gold when you can write lik...Who needs diamonds and gold when you can write like that?
