A Day of Memorial - Memorial Day Part II

Within this post it's hard to summarize what Memorial Day is.  America lives within a free state that is one of which is a democracy.  I don't think one takes the day and looks at it as a happy day nor a day to be grieved.

Memorial Day renders not just war but the measure that those whom are within the service.  Service for myself is that commodity whereby those are prepared and act when called upon to service their country.  Those whom are within the service are those that never desire to be within action of war.  Nor is there an eagerness to be at war.  Yet they are prepared when and if necessary.  Yet there have been wars which have taken place.  I, myself, never look at what has been done as I don't think we know the real truths within a society now where we do ponder many areas of life which would include war.

Memorial Day is that value of honoring those in service and especially those whom have given their own lives for the very right of freedoms which we have.  If it was not for the people whom have done so - we would not have the freedoms we have.  Sometimes I wonder if we are too free.  But within America, this is a day that is of memory.  To remember those whom have served to enable the rights of freedom.
Integrity comes to mind and a few other things.  Most of all it's the very fact that we can walk upon the soils that we have and enjoy them by way of the service which was done by those of the past and present.  I can't say I wish you a Happy Memorial Day.  As it's not applicable.  The merit of this day is that of freedom.  Freedom that enables us to live life within the very manner which is desired.  Freedom as so well put by way of Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, and so many others which would include the average citizen.  As all are enabled to voice their thoughts within a free state.
When I think of this day of honor, I think of those that did the service with the intention to maintain a society to be free and as sound as can be.  Memorial Day is one which within the United States resonates. 

From state to state, there is something to be proud of within these times.  It's the very acts in which came from those whom served.  When people serve they place other ahead of them.  What I have found within my experience is there is a determination within those that have served and they placed others lives ahead of their own to enable freedom to reign.

To those which reside within the United States of America - this is a day of Memorial.  A day of recognition to those which have served for the very freedoms that we so often tend to forget we have.

 

I wrote some time back for a young lady that was living during very hard times she lived within Iraq and was apart of this group I had while at the same time there was another member which was a Major within the United States Army. I still keep in touch with them from time to time but this was a write which I had done for both of them back at that time. Regardless both of them were ordinary people in life. Both desired freedom and a return of some peace. 

This is from my old blog but I still believe it stands with some worthiness.

Day In No Day Out

She wakes up and it's the same thing
To try to maintain a ritual
Or routine or any kind of thing
It's not a fight against any country
A plight of her own
There's no paper at her doorstep

On the way to a market
She gets the necessities
While walking homebound
She does not shudder anymore
To the bombing from either side
She has seen too much
But yet carries a smile

Yet she looks into the blue sky
And does hope
That peace will survive and prevail
Not just for her land but for yours and mine
It's what keeps her motivated
But just like you and me
Only for a while - she is human

But the question is when
And it's now
Each and every day
Ironic as some of us are thinking the same
Irony and reality yes
For her and for many
The passives – the ordinary
Can be extrodinary
She lives over there what is there?

She has some of the same tastes
She has some that are different
She would love to share
But she is shy
To make any statement
As it could be shunned

Yet ironically she is a-cultured
And maybe the monuments standing
In all different lands
Stand for what she is about

However the fanatics and ignorance manipulate
They do no service rather make for disrgrace
Isnt it supposed to be for the good sided
of both sides of the coin?
Probably so but the coines toss to those
That wish it to toss only one way
Greed on both sides with power manipulation

The cat is on the cupboard
It wants to go out
So she softly puts him out
But watches cautiously
Till he is back in
And cuddle again
A warmth that is random
And while the electricity is down
This is the only feeling of warmth

The curious young lady ponders
The day of being able to travel
The day of waking with a normal way
Where the day is greeted with coffee
The birds and the sun.
She has the desire not be judged
Based on fanatics from both societies
And media that play the bend
And when will she and so many others
Be afforded the chance to mend?
And not be judged by ignorance
Rather with grace

In a revolving cycle
The corridor of peace
Is around the corner
She isn't sure of this
Nor anyone else

This young lady will have peace
If we can have peace - certainly she can
The ability to do what she desires
And when god is such a
Bad word coming from them
Many of "them" use it in the same
Non-fanatical manner that you and I do

With Gods speeds my dear
Keep your chin up and don't shed too many tears
For the ones that speaketh usually do take it away
And that is universal saying
Not just Iraq per se

Martin Luther King once said
For the black people in America
"I have a dream"
His dream came true
So shall this one dearest May
For you and for
All the good of mankind

Dr. Martin paid a price
But the dream did come true
The sun does shine

The Major is Home

Coffee is ready in the kitchen
Hearing it saying welcome home Rog
And as you look out the window
There is the land in which you know
It's the land you have grown
The trees, the yard, the land it's all there
And in a way each is casting a smile
Welcome back

Another sip of coffee
There are the kids
Thought you were up early
Before everyone else
Not the case
But Dad has a surprise
Happy loving faces
Those are your own
Radiant young faces to see their Father
Even with those twins
Dad is home

Another sip of coffee
Mom is serene and content
A kiss on to your loved one
And then to the entire clan
My this kitchen has taken a family stand
Looking eye to eye
A few tears in some eyes
It's all good as this is the life

Another sip of that warm coffee
Bill has the same problems
He just called on the telephone
Yes that same old equipment
You helped him during your time off
Seemingly are back in need of fix in
But that's not his plan
He just wants to see ya
And shake your hand

The last sip of that coffee
You're back at your own land
Something's never change
But it's all good

You carried out your missions
While taking care of many peaceful
In another land
You found the good
The people, the mothers, the daughters
And all the peaceful
And you found some of the bad

Most of all you finished your coffee
And understand that you did what
You were called upon doing
And now you can sip you own coffee
From your own coffee mug

The cup is put down
Time for a hair cut, heck no
Time for some music and some visiting
Maybe this first day I'll take the wife for a drive
Around the state
Or to the nearby cafe and have lunch

MEMORIAL DAY TRIBUTE - PART ONE

Having lived in both countries and as well having had a true connection with someone within my family that was involved within several areas of the Air Force. And being one that has literally lived within American, I wished from here in Canada to write this in honor of the what Memorial Day means to me. In these times we are fortunate to have our freedom, sure things are not perfect anywhere but this is that day that I truly regard what America does stand for. And without anything more I think that today is that day in which we do honor the generations of people that have gave there oath and lives to afford a free society to withstand.

I don't wish to go further into anything more than to just post something in which I just wrote.

I usually will find that time to get into the zone if you will and each nation does have there own celebration, but on this fine day - there is a statue that hails on the Hudson River. She looks across and has seen many things within her time. In honor to all the men and women of the past and current. Memorial Day is certainly not something that should be taken in vain. For we would not have the luxuries of what we have unless there was all branches of the Armed Forces.

I thought I would post this and I don't have a title for this but it's to those that have paid the price to grant us our very freedom's and values that we so cherish and so often take for granted. Lets not, as I truly do believe in the merits of what these people do and how many right this very moment are within harms way - while we have all that we have. I certainly know one thing it's summed up in one word. INTEGRITY...

Hence my blog from last year as a beginning:

 

You the one who fell

From so far and beyond

Giving everything and the up most

To allow our freedom

Serving each day in and day out

So that we could rest free each night

Integrity illustrated in your dedication

In allowance to afford our peaceful rights

Thinking less of themselves

While affording more for the future

Just so we can live free

Throughout the history of war

Memories sit within each household

And for some much more

Sacrifices of integrity will never be forgotten

For those of each and every generation

Peace does have its price

So many deaths over the years

So many mothers thinking and having tears

Yes it's a price that is paid

In order to afford freedom to reign

In memory to each and every man and woman

We afford there is one day in which is afforded

We will not take your dedication in vain

For you have made such sacrifices

That we can only feel blessed

As freedom is the nation's truest wealth

There are tombstones and unaccountable souls

Who sacrificed so much

You will never be forgotten

As you are the pride of a nation and the free world

May you rest in peace

Understanding the thoughts and prayers

That goes your way from one coast to another

You are the heroes of our past and enablers of our future

Both young and old Shall remember you

As in memory of what you have done

Allows us to rise each morning

Yet it was you that paid the price

This is a tribute on this Memorial Day

In order to reimburse your honor

This shall not be forgotten

~jgs~

"...that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God, ...and that government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth." Abraham Lincoln

 

It's Much More Than Brick and Mortar

It's a city that contains a multitude of people from all walks of life - and ever so growing. Within Canada, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland were the last to be considered the most ever growing provinces within Canada. They were always considered the "back road" provinces within Canada. But not now. The is a growth that I could not even begin to explain as one would just have to be here.

Well it's evening now and I am not sure if you ever get on and start one thing and then it comes to being a multi tasking situation. Yet within the even I love to reflect as I shall within the merit's of what within America is deemed Memorial Day.

Today I head out with really no destination with the exception of the bank. I slept in as I usually wake up at five within the morning here. So I wished to get things done within the bank as soon as it opened and then with the sun out I went to several places. From one place to the other I find that I meet people and at some point I shall place down all the cards of some of the people that I meet. There are many people from all walks of life here. While I was within the bank I did my transactions with a lady from Iran. She moved here five years ago and you know there isn't a day that I don't meet someone although the pictures don't illustrate it but this city was never considered to be one of the fastest growing cities within Canada. And regardless of where you are - I find that I am meeting people from all over - which includes Americans. There are many companies that are working especially within the building sector to then the university.

The city was founded within the 1800's. When you meet people it's tremendous. At the very tale end towards the afternoon there I was leaving the university and here was a couple which were having photographs taken by their friend. I was walking out towards my car and I could see what she was doing. And I asked if I might be able to take a few pictures. The couple which are to be married tomorrow had no troubles with it - for that matter neither did the friend which was taking photographs and before you know it - she handed me her camera as she could see the manner that I enjoy taking pictures. So I had some fun with that as well and exchanged email addresses.

There is nothing in it for me, but it's enjoyable. As while at the same time I cover so much mileage that sometimes I think my car has to catch up with me. Yet the city that awakes within the morning with skies of blue, there is much to capture than just the view. Yet this city was looked upon as being a small town and as Jefferson Starship once wrote, "We Built this City on Rock and Roll". I am not sure if that truly sums it all up. Yet from all sorts of vantages it just thrives, not just from an economical standpoint but from the merits of the vast array of people that are continually moving here.

Right at this time two years ago I made a decision to come back here. And not just by way of photography but within the array of people I suppose I am building along with this town/city. I have lived within all of Canada and have lived within the US. I can honestly say that I don't see much difference now when it comes down to people for the most part. Every place has it's own merits and many have always asked me if I wish to return to New York. I don't see it within the cards. But that does not negate how I see nor feel of any other place. Many have left and have the desire to come back as there was a time where many like myself left and then boomeranged back.

So this city like any other is on soil and there certainly is brick and mortar, but in combination with nature and conservation and a huge elegant factor of people of all walks of life. We all live on this very earth and I don't have that countries with borders attitude as I feel that there is more within this universe in which we live.

I was not born here yet it's what I consider my foundational home.

 

 

Tomorrow I am embarking on a tribute with Memorial Day and the meaning about it within YOUR OWN MANNER. If some of you do feel that you have one small thought from which to share aside of your blog please do email send it to me as I hope to do something within a tribute of sorts with Memorial Day. Some shall as some have already, I do hope to have something on for tomorrow night, and I hope that within what we call friends those that have a little time might be able. Yes, I live in Canada - yet that does not change one thing concerning the intention. ~ As it's a good sincere intention ~ Peace and I hope that some do have that little time to afford me what they see of what Memorial Day stands for - in their own way....

I am placing some music on and I hope it does not effect your connection with me I shall be done shortly.....as at 6pm. central standard time.

Beautiful Days Within Scope

An array taken over a few days. To be concise as to theme is not really, what I love to do. I just will take those, which I find either symbolic or humanistic within some order, fashion, or manner. These picture components for some reason is different - I don't know if any one is able to see my photography yet as ironic as it is I do get email regarding them. The scope of one day to another alters. However, within the manner of which and by which they are taken, does take a flow if you will. I would not be able to render some of these pictures if it wasn’t for the people that give that allowance.
From many good hearted people, coupled with the ability to just do what I feel is art in a way. Takes more than just I. As fifty percent would not come about without that permission, that grant devoid of anything but jovial people. I have met more people along the way, so this is my stream, which I place here on this day. For me it's so often something artistic. From the skies to those symbolical areas of which you just seen and know and - it's just there. Some are thematic and some are just vantages. Yet to each and ever picture there is nearly a story behind them. Nevertheless, for myself, I find this something that is much like a painter, which sees something without being definite to where I opt to go most of the time. I do hope that those of my friends do like these as they are just vantages taken from my vantage or scope.

Thoughts go out to those families enduring and affected within the Midwest with all these Tornados...I hope this all does end. It's very tragic and sad to see how many are being effected by the multitudes of tornados. The lives, which have been affected, are mind boggling to say the least.

The Learning Curve & Aptitude of Character

There are certain areas in which we do know, we do know what we see and those ordinary thing that take place within life. Yet, when we set up our own self borders and feel that we know and for the one that believes they know all the answers. There comes a time where there is a humbling experience. Regardless of what we do, what we have done in the past. As the learning curve is never ending.

When you realize that you always have the answers within yourself, you can stop searching outside of yourself. I find that for the most part we tend to think we do have all the answer. Yet, I know even at this age, I don’t have all the answers. For that matter no one has all the answers within life. That is what makes life remarkable as for myself I have always seen life as a flow but at the same time I have always enjoyed listening and learning from other people. Some have been younger, some have been the same age, some much older. Today within my day, I never knew that Mark Twain’s real name was that of Samuel Clements. The man that runs these boats hear on the river had a discussion with me and I assisted him with one matter, while we sat down, I learned from him about the story of Samuel Clements, from Mississippi. Now that to me is rather cool just within itself.

Sometimes seeking answers come by way of how we merge with other folk. Maybe a decent manner does render the best and not always from the most educated people. However, even within this department while I entered and was en route to a certain place within the university, here a student finishing off her masters went out of her way to show me where to go. Manner they might very well go a long way. Yet, manners fall into character so perhaps this person was within a like able nature of sorts. University today looking for a certain person, which aided me with a some materials. Even when I ended up at the security unit, they went out of their way when I became lost and indicated the direction by way of a map. In addition, here she was not in but while I entered within this one building all the staff where more that happy to assist me. They asked what I was looking for and then you had a collage of people. But even before this, I had one person whom went out of his way to lead me to the right direction. Manners are applicable. Perhaps it's a two way street. Yet, there are contrasts to this as there have been people that think they are way up there and well that's a learning process as well. However, that's theirs for the bearing not mine. It’s funny how that works as I have known so many and the most educated sometimes never would have that time to just discuss. Possibly they were to busy, but for the most part I find that this come down to character.

Many of us seek the answers to life’s questions by looking outside of ourselves and trying to glean advice from the people around us. There are two sides to this I believe. We gain from those people that are around us. Trust certainly comes to be a factor but it’s, as deep within each one of us knows whom we wish to have encounters with and form large or small. The size is not that which is of importance it’s the ability to be flexible and render areas from others for myself and it has no predisposition to a certain type of person.

I have learned plenty from others – I suppose it is based on the demeanor that makes it reasonable.

 

It's Green and Blue

With the intention to meet up with the communications department which assisted me within one of my writes on what I called the "Paper Plane Room". I was within the research center for a good portion of the morning and thereafter I went down to the riverside. While there I could see that, the riverboats were all preparing for this coming weekend and I thought I would go and make a visit. As this time of the year
is where things all really start to surface here as far as weather wise.

It was most interesting, one of the local stations had the same thing in mind. As just before I was leaving they arrived. Ironically, as it is, I gave a few pointers on how they would wish to capture these boats and then thereafter I left on my way. I don't think there is any going back now as we are within that zone where green has literally become. With temperatures well into the 70’s, this is the time where many things are rendered.

Therefore, it's a variety as I always place it on here on Multiply and the captures all but two were taken on today's date. I would never have thought that the weekend would come so quickly but it has.

Saskatoon’s Princess Riverside Boat Operators – Video 1.avi

When I returned from New York City here to Canada – many might know the reason was that my father was hit with stage 4 cancers. He lived and during that time we so often while he was in the hospital for six months doing 6 cycles of chemotherapy. I would go up and see him within the evenings.

He loved to watch then either the satellites, which are tied in with several areas including NASA. He would love to just focus on the satellite dishes within what is called Renovation Place. For the most part, we enjoyed watching one small boat that might have fit 10 people at best prance over the river waters from his suit within the hospital.

There was a flow to it and he so often said that when and if he beated this disease that he was going to buy a Mississippi style boat and have city council approve it and then place it on as this small little boat at the time was not much.

Well it was not done within the family, but this gentleman did it and I never realized that he had the contract and full authority of the river until today. I had been there before but as I was heading across the bridge, I thought I would look as I could see that he had started his plans with not one boat but five. Couple with that he had a Mississippi style boat on order and either it would be this summer or next.

He knew all well, which my father was and we decided to make a plan. The plan is that he shall call my folks, make plans with them, and take them on a solo trip with a meal and all. It was my thought that it might very well be a nice surprise. As well he did. Therefore, this shall be good but there was much more he knew about this river than myself. I thought the river was the North Saskatchewan River, while it’s the south. But regardless it was all to interesting as ironically it was the first day for him to get things prepared for the coming weekend.

A nice visit as well but the second as I had met with him briefly last year and ironically while we did this video, which is not perfect – one of the local television stations arrived. Ironic.

Yet, it all was in good fun.

An Enthused Day

All of our acts are measure bye the inspiration from which they originate. Where you feel that presence of being within ones character and desires. That good sensation feel which occurs at those least expected times.  I don’t believe it can be fabricated. I do believe it resides within the souls and hearts of each and everyone. That vibrant feel if you will. The Greeks provided us one of the most profound words within the English language – enthusiasm.

The word enthusiasm translates to “a God Within.” Within each one of us there is that passionate soul that desires to express itself. It’s that deep sense elation. Perhaps the real essence of that state of being. The splendor of feeling passionate and enthusiastic is that feeling of joy. Where things just seem to be within that area where you have that pleasurable state of mind. It’s not something forced as I see it. Rather, it's something that just happens depending on what creates your own enthusiasm and/or passion. Imagine you’re within the best musical concert or something takes place, which renders the up most within your own spirit. On the other hand, that moment where your walk into something and there it is something that renders the passion without the need of it to be forced. The simplest thing can bring about that zone where one feels in awe and ever so quickly one is within that state of being enthused.

This morning I went to pick up my car. As over the holiday weekend my back tire had to be changed but could not be serviced till this morning at the garage station which is located next to this shopping mall where I was on Friday. I arrived at this garage station which was within the location where my tire when flat. I didn’t realize I had known the manager owner from years before. Coupled with that, here was this assistant manager whom which seemed to be someone I knew. Then that light bulb effect took place! While speaking, something just came about. Perhaps it was the voice but here were a few people that I knew some twenty years ago.

Back then, I would take my Monte Carlo to be serviced. They were very rootsy people. Townish if you will. Then we came to hit it off as they owned a service garage just a few blocks from where I lived and there came a time where before I headed off to Toronto by way of car. Which was a 2500-mile trip, something had gone wrong two days before hand and here these were the people that I would often drop off a coffee and shoot the breeze with and then head off to work at a shopping center I was running here at the time. Wouldn’t you know it, within fifteen minutes the three of us realized whom we were, I think it came by way of Phil’s wife, whom worked the counter. As soon as we all figured out who was who - that light bulb effect took place! However, what was apparent was that there was enthusiasm going on. Phil talked about the old garage at the old location and how he got to where he is. I do have that gift of the gab at certain times. Phil’s wife was sitting over on the one side taking it all in and smiling. I was utterly blown away. I could have sat there twiddling my thumbs for hours. Rather, I met up with a few folk that I had not seen in some twenty years.

We literally talked our heads off Phil and Marty were older than I was, but seemingly there was a connection. When my car was finished, we shook hands and I cracked a joke about Phil and how he is much smarter yet he has less hair - and there was a retort with good fun back to me about mine, but within good fun, I said that I lost weight while they gained weight and Phil’s wife just killed herself laughing. It seemed like it was just yesterday.

When I went to pay for the work done and Phil’s wife made the remark to me, “you just made the boy's day”.

Well, for that matter it was a reciprocating effect.

They certainly did mine. The simplest thing can render this word called enthusiasm. I find that it’s not within a measurement of material but within the increments of being.

 

Skies of Blue

In short, order from past cooler temperatures with gray skies today came to be one of blue. Within one day, how things changed and the lush is lush and the green is green. Simple as it is.

I was draw to the riverside as well then within my trail there was some exterior work being done within this castle like hotel.

Simplistic yet enjoyable.

“To Every Disadvantage there is Always a Corresponding Advantage." ~ W. Clement Stone ~

Self Respect - Light eliminates Darkness, Love dissipates Hate

Perhaps the greatest mistake so often made, which causes a loss of self – respect is making the opinion of others so readily. The origins of self-respect originate within the very word – that of self. This self originated within the universe that intended you to be here. Just imagine from an infinite formless state of being of molecules and physical substance. Certainly, we all are a form of sorts. Just think about it from formless to form. Hence, if you fail to respect yourself, you’re showing contempt within the process of creation.

By no means allowing your self-respect to be undermined as then your replacing your own self-respect on the wayside and seeking the respect by way of others. I find so often that self-respect is mistaken for arrogance. For thy self is anything but arrogance, it’s your own life and your own way. Within the cycle of life, one shall find a time in which they are trying to reconnect within life. Yet, the connection I know is within my own self. Low energy renders low energy. High frequency renders high energy.

Light eliminates darkness, love dissipates hate. As a wise older friend of mine once put it, “When the time occurred that I was able to resist the temptation to judge others, I could see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life. This took a very long time yet once I was able, then I was at peace.” Obviously, she had gone through a period of hard times in which we all do. However, at a certain time she was able to obtain a higher energy. That does not go without some form of faith as well.

The approach of how we obtain self-respect is within how we merge with others; our encounters are like cumulus clouds that flow side by side. It’s a silent blessing of forgiveness as well as the virtue within that reconnect. As well, obtaining of other areas, those virtues within life. In which we all walk upwards within our virtues of what bring the meaning within our lives - all within our very own ways. Yet, it starts within self. For you’re within the clear and the pathway of abilities, peace, and enjoyment are all encompassed within that realm or field of intention of life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

May your own inner compass be that of fluidity and peace which renders more than otherwise.

 

 

Radiant within Being

One truth that I have recognized within all the years of my growth is that it’s impossible to know my perfection.

If I am unable to see and honor that of the perfection within others which are within my array of life, then life is counter productive and much of the likeliness of Leo Tolstoy’s story of, “The Death of Ivan Ilyich”. This was about a man who could never live out his own life, as he was too busy being concerned with expectations rather than his own dreams and creating. That ability in to be my own self only is within the honor to see the merely my temporary intentions.

Humanity is a characteristic of a sacred kind.

In any unhealthy relationship I find that I stray from it, there is separation from others. It’s the feeling that others are primarily useful to merely satisfy egos and urges. Within life I find I have, I am rekindling back yet forward within the manner of which I perceive things.  Within any kind of relationship, I have come to know is that of a separatists attitude. There are two choices I can opt within the best of things and render the most within the positive. The negative aspects, that do take place within the arena of life is that we cannot do anything entirely alone. Yet the energy level of what I opt is entirely up to me. With the potential to manipulate others and create barriers rather than builds reciprocating holy relationships. People become defensive, fearful, hostile, and done with to be within anyone’s company.

I think we all do grow within our own manner. For myself I find that it comes when I reconnect with my foundation of faith, life, perception and intention.  When there is change within the thought process and patters, which ironically have an energy level, which is more becoming that otherwise. Life is entirely perfect. I know I am not, I know whom I hold within my life close and I have as well been through that ordeal of being alone. Yet, haven’t we all at some point? Nevertheless, for that matter, how we perceive things is within how we regards our own self, the good merits of others, the embarrassments of understanding. I do not have a car today yet I decided rather than sit and fret I would yet out for a morning walk by myself. Here as well, there is so many couples - that I could get down and depressed but on the other hand who says they are happy. Yet, that hello and the manner of which they said it you knew that they were within a good relationship. Or marriage.  Yet, the manner of which I perceive it and attend to it seemingly has brought me back to my own thoughts that ironically seemingly have always resided. To follow, the last two years have not been perfect, there have been some times, where I have felt very empty. Perhaps a person has to understand the salvation of their own meaning by way of the people they surround themselves with. As well, as the faith they have. Even an atheist has faith. I find when I change thought patterns I raise my energy level. Then within relationships how the perception is comes with more clarity.

Recently I could see myself as that frenzied clerk of a week ago that was so set off with assisting to find where the canned salmon was. The woman next to me with no overheard the situation and realized the clerk’s demeanor. Before I knew it, there was a tap on my shoulder. With no necessity, here were three cans of the Clover Leaf Salmon. Coincidence? Here is where holy relationships come into being. No expectations, she just out of good will was well within realm.  There is that connecting and the energy of this small interaction might very well have been rendered by way of and interaction of strength as the intent was that of simple good will. Here there was a contrast between two people. A grocery clerk - not a happy camper and then this easygoing woman.

Yet, there was a differentiation.

A Fine Saturday

Nice day it was and I can't say that I don't ache as I do. Yet at the same time I thought I would make a mention on to those whom are friends. There are sometime I don't know for the life of me what to write. I never force it and well on a nice breezy day it was something that was. It just was. I wish I juanted down more things from which to write but some of you I know well and then some of you I don't know well.

Now where am I going to with this I don't know as it's been a fine day with a friend of mine and I have been very reserve on here as to whom I write to. Why? Lets not go there but for some reason there are some that hate me in a very underhanded way. Then there are others that see me just as a "Initiative Stain".

When I get on here at times it has been intense but I don't have any great expectations on here. I certainly enjoy the reads, I am not much into the games that can happen. But it's the weekend. I know am not the be all nor end all and I have no clue as to where I am going with this but I am not that jerk around the corner.

So I had a great time with this friend of mine today and I hope you did as well. So it's been a nice eve and as well as for the most part the day with the exception that my calves are killing me as I had a good run today. Aside of that, yeah I am a little private, but I believe in that commodity of to each their own.

The weather oh it was nice just the right temps and as well there are those days when it just all comes together. I don't know any of you that well nor do you me but within the writes we all come to understand and can see how it's going.

Hence I hope you had a fine Saturday.

Going with the Flow on Victoria Day Weekend

Well one has to go with the flow. While I was out I new there was something wrong with one tire and as it’s a holiday here called Victoria Day weekend. By they time I went out and got back my one wheel is on it’s spare until Tuesday.

Now that was not supposed to happen. Now here I thought that this one back tire of mine, which was slowly deflating, I thought it would be a mere quick repair. Yet that was repaired and the service manager said that due to the over whelming demand this weekend that this other back tire could not be replaced. So in some ways it’s the long weekend up here but at the same time, I didn’t plan for this but I accept it. Things happen when we least expect it but so be it. So it’s going to be an around the house sort of weekend but all the same it’s there are the highest waters that are up in these parts. I before I took notice of this situation with times I was rendered a picture of the river here. Which is the longest – not largest within all of Canada.

To those that celebrated this time Victoria Day around the world I wish you the very best. And to those celebrating just a nice weekend within spring I wish you the same.

 

I've been completely off for 2 days, one day of which were medical matters but never, take a rest at 4pm and then wake up at midnight :) A great weekend weekend and Friday to all...

"Let the beauty you love be what you do. As there are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss this Earth."

You Change It

I took a good portion of my day to just get back to my own foundation. I am personal with some of the areas within my life. It was a wet day or trying to rain, but not as of yet. I just went forth and did my own thing as I wished within the afternoon to get a few things and then thereafter I had made a call to a good friend of mine. He hails down very near the border and I thought it was a good time to call him and his wife and yes within soon enough time I shall travel down and see the both of them. (Please do excuse my post of yesterday).

So here it's been overcast and I can't say honestly that I was able to get everything done for a Tuesday but I was able to get a good portion of it done. As well, I was able to get atop of this one building which I have wished to for the longest. The vantage from up there is something and thus I continue within what my aim and goals are.

I do enjoy immensely that self time. I am looking at things within angles as well as arrangements. Hence on a cooler type of day, I thought the best effort within areas that are that of negative are to just plainly do one thing - render what you enjoy. And there is where change comes about.

I thinky,

Jack

An Array of Angles

An array from several angles I opted to head downtown and there is one building that as of yet I have been able to get a view of the city from the angle of which I wished. I have been fiddling with these pictures. Most of which are from one large residential building here. I lucked out and wouldn’t you know it there was management that was they’re which within other days – it’s not been the case. Or at least with I have been there.

On a good day from a few building here you can literally see for miles. Merely because most of the land is rather flat with the exception of the areas that are around the river. It’s kind of ironic if you ask me, as the geography within the prairies for the most part isn’t mountainous, it's primarily flat lands. Thus it is and that it is.

To Look on the Brighter Sides

I find the best thing to do when I feel down or something takes place is just to focus on something else. I don't wish to go into all the things of what within a given day as such makes it turn out as it does. I could say all was just great but I am sure that everyone has faced family matters and for myself, I find that rendering the best and nurturing things brings out the best. Yes I am a man but at the same time I have no apprehension when it comes to one of those days where you have been working things and both ends. I am sure that you have been there - everyone has but this was just one of those days and I find that taking that self time I rejuvenate. Sometimes within families you do feel that your pulled in all directions. I do care about my family but at the same time I do care within what I am doing.

At times as such and with areas that are pulling from both ends that last thing I wish is to have those negatives which come about. Today was one of them.

So I enjoy the good things, life is not perfect, but what one embarks on is of that very thing that creates that understanding. Family can be very trying at times where they don't come to understand that you have your own. So you muster up and do what you deem is right and sometimes that includes knowing when to say no. It's one sentence, but it works and one can't do the work of three but one can do tremendous things by the work of ones own desire.

So what I have learned is that to just know which is important and which is not. And aside of all that, it's the time of the year which is to be enjoyed. As well. So forwards I go and I leave these feels go as it's not worth the time. But then I have wrote about it so I guess today lol was one pretty hefty day all in all but so be it - I love to just move along with things and enjoy those simpler things at times as such.

My apologies for the outlet...

 

 

Aside of my small little vent, I do enjoy the ableness to read and write to others. Just like everyone else. If I didnt, I guess I would on another Blog....so please excuse my vent. Mondays sometimes can be much to tend with pending all that is at hand. But you just turn the page...

Sincere Message...

Busy busy...It's been a busy day and I am not sure about you but Mondays are those days where I find I just unwind. There are so many things at times to be concerned with. Yet I have always been good at doing that turn the page. Many of you are decent friends. Drama, I don't need nor wish to afford. I do enjoy my time on here when I get on. Each and everyone of us has that very right but I think that most are just like me. No one wishes for that drama. My father has been rather ill and I have been pulled now and then with his problems and I would hope that each one does understand that everyone has those days. I love within to just read along.

For myself, I write as I enjoy and read as well. So I thought I would mention as boy this Monday was one onto it's own. Yet you keep true to what you believe in and are decent to those consider you as a friend.

I would much rather enjoy this than to have drama - I thought that was worth saying. I have been called all sorts of names on here and as well played. I am the one worth the play game then it's not worth being on here. I don't think you would wish to either.

I thought I would mention it as it's been a day but it shall pass as I love to dwelve into the rights.

 

If there is someone that can in general term explain to me what LinkedIn is as I have had so many to my email. I would truly appreicate it.

A Sunday of Spring

I have no idea why this shuts me out with I upload but from Beaver Creek to then a stop over at a retired banker friend. There is more days till everything
does come into being fully GREEN. Yet a fine Sundays jaunt.

And I did see and get a capture a little rascal :)

There is no time like Spring and the seasons that come along with it...

Springs Sings a Song of Nature

Well lets face it at least one doesn't freeze, with temperatures still within the later part of the 60F, and just bordering on the 70's. It's the season where things of a natural sort things start to commence.

This was a day which was windy, yet warm. Much warmer than we have seen in past days before hand. I was up at 5am and from doing a complete overhaul on the back deck. Never endeavour I have learned before knowing where your going to take several thing too. From changing out door rugs to the placing new ones down by 10am I have most everything done. Then it was that time of my own to just go out and I figure there was one place that I thought I would head to was what is called Cranberry Flats.

Yet I could tell that not all has yet blossomed in full so I decided I would head out of town to the another area - one which I have been to before. As what what within my thoughts was to a conservation area by the name of Beaver Creek. I can't recall the original name of the place but it's one of many. Still yet it's not lush as it does come to be within the summer. I rendered some captures but not till a few more weeks does it come really - into it's own. As it does come to be lush. Yet a maybe one more weeks at it shall be in fullness.

As an excursion on a Sunday - it seemed to be the right place. I have been there a couple of times as many go there to see the birds which at the same time take those nature walks around the entire area.

Nature and this time of the year are what brings the joy by way of atmosphere. Excursions have always been something in which I enjoy. Especially at this time of the year. There is something to be said in enjoying the outdoors especially during this time of the year.

I opt for this quarter of the year as it's my favourite.

It's Within What You Please

The arrays within the day were fine. Again I opted to take in the fine weather. There is no dismissing that we all have things which concerns us. Speaking with a good friend is much better than nurturing nothing. Pleasure is something as simple as can. I myself find that the render within the beginning of my day commences with a coffee and some good music.

While downtown, I didn't precisely know what I was looking for. The day before was another testing and thereafter I headed off to a one place that I exactly knew I wished to go. These mornings have been one that although I don't place the picture of the people. I can't tell you the realms of different people you do meet. It's many but yet it's a city which has changed but nevertheless there is always something new that is within the ones stride.

What have I learned today? I have learned that there are no exacts. There are no absolutes. Even when it comes down to the weather - this too is one which is ever changing. We as people have always been curious. Yet today within my "blend". It was that of a fine calm. To not think but to just act. To blend as well as bend with the all that came into my scope. We are a hurried people. Yet what I have found within the rush is that so often things are missed - those natural things. Brick and mortar stand firm while a mere flower is one that has growth. Within my stride I came to do nothing but just enjoy the presence of what we call being.

We all have some form of calculation, it's the nature of things yet I sit here just enjoying the sunset. Sometimes it's nice to take that ride within the waves of nothing. Allowing the ventures to take a standstill while all things are within a plan. Plans and agendas are so often the main thread of each and everyday. But that stillness can resonate. Maybe it's an ideal type of day. What is within what one has pleasure is that of that which is undiscovered.

Hence, the day is within what was pleasure without trivia or otherwise. It was just there within that cast of the moment. No void of grace, just one which represents nothing more than those decent moments within time. A commodity which, when we have that opportunity we find what is really comes to be of VALUE.

Ah yeah as there are those moments that it's within what you please.

 

 

A Dedication for Two Friends with Health Matters

I was reading a blog which saddens me of what is happening for two people and their health matters. One resides in Canada and another within America. I guess two different situations. But the tenacity of what they are doing is diffent yet the render of what they are facing with good spirits are one which after reading does take me. Sharon a very smart fiesty individual and her matters and then another whom I don't know all that well. I believe within a world where health is a primary, not a politic. Sheree, is one that I don't know all that well but well enought to extend the same.

Leave the borders alone and before I logged off here tonight to two people I do hope the best for. There are people that go through things that you can't even begin to comprehend. I myself had that situation within the winter but this is not about me and I am on my way with that art of doing. Vanity has no merit when it comes to health matters and without making a mention, I would wish to extend that commodity in which we call HOPE. Yes in every land we regard hope when need be. I am not great at working this blog - no am I vain in placing on a song. If they wake up and hear it I hope it brings hope to them and some assurance that there does come a new day.

It's an old song but it's one that has some depth to it and I truly hope that for two people do surpass the obstacles which they have. Times which friends face troubles of a health kind, are ones are not great. Especially when they are so silent with it all and may they find the comfort and as well the ability to move beyond health problems which could hit anyone at anytime.

Hope was never a political word, it's a humanistic word. I do hope that these two ladies surpass the ordeals of which they are facing.

We See This Earth in Corridors

A few pictures within a simple frame work.

Destiny is this fancy word we give to our fate, the way I see it is that we render it within our own manner. One does one thing pending on what they have at hand, and another does something else which as well is pending any given situation.

A Day of Accomplishment

There were four things which I wished to accomplish today three of which were completed. Within the three are ones that rendered something, possibility. Yes I believe in possibilities. Realistic ones. The one that was not achieved is fine. As all of what one is able to do is all that one can do. I rather render the positive areas of pursuit that all the negatives. I would assume that is my choice. So where this all leads is within that area of opportunity.  I never think out unrealistically. When I arrived to my computer there was the strangest email I have ever received. I don't know whom it's from but I don't sit and dwell upon it.

The day was good as well as I think this ordeal with pain is finally over with. There are times where we wish something was more, but we have something. As the day turned out all in all there was more accomplished and merely one item which wasn't. But hey three out of four ain't bad. I am please with how things have gone and you know how it is this time of year where there is no more snow and all things start to line up. Hence, I am please with a day of accomplishment.

All things have a manner of working within cycles it seems. I am indifferent to that of which has not happened. I plan things out and yesterday there was no way. All in all it was a very productive day. And one thing blends into another.

It's that commence of sorts. And when one works towards anything I find that it more of the partaking and attempt which is the most fun, even more so than the looking at things within a manner of immediacy.

 

I have a few contracts which I have to tend to. I hope that you might be able to aid and assist by way of just picking a few pictures and giving your thoughts on them. That is when and if able to pick three of your favorites. This has nothing really do with multiply but more so of people and their own thoughts by way of their own vantage and taste. I mustof learn on here how to post several one one page but the one manner of which I know how to do this is by way of the photography album on here. I have something which has come my way and my intention is not to let it pass by. All going well either this eve or tomorrow I shall place on a few shots. So I would appreciate your thoughts - I shall write more about this before I return but with all that said a good day to you. I will be doing this for merely two days within this week. I would appreciate your thoughts and I don't expect any special consideration. I hope that I can get a good average of ten people to aid me with this. I am keeping this set up as friends of friends. There is a good reason for it. But the main thing is some input when and if your able. Thank you in advance.... ~ As well I shall place a few on as time goes along...

Hello Said Joe

I went out and thereafter I came back in. As these stitches have been starting to come out and oh that can really be a pain. But growing pains I guess. Now when I read that this shall be a two to six day recovery time. Well, most all it was good but wouldn't you know it pain started again. However I did take a few shots, I don't wish to do picture after picture on here but there is nothing like exercise within spring while at the same time getting in some exercises.

All is well and, aside for a tad of pain it's all going fine. I did take one pain killer as you can't completely stop as I was on it for three weeks now. So I rested and then got up and I and all is well. The weather was not that warm within the morning but it was nice as the day went on. So for a Monday after all this ordeal all in all I can't complain. ( I do wish to read others posts ).

Don't mind me as I do have a tad of a headache but it shall subside. 

How was your day?

 

The Spring Has Just Become

Within part of the day I thought I would place a few pictures. I am using flickr with a few. And then some I just load them up right from my site. The one thing that I found amazing and goes to show you how much I have been up on what's going on is that Elton John is here.

Posting within here sometimes it hard to do that transfer, but I enjoyed part and parcel of the day of rendering some shot's. I don't know why when I load them from flickr I they are on before I can write and I hope this is not a duplicate of what I had posted. Yet it's Spring.

~ LOVE ~

We often mistake LOVE as generally just being romantic and never really appreciating the other kinds of love that do exist. I myself had to look it up myself.

LOVE OF SECURITY: This love is the love that everybody needs to survive. It is that feeling of being cared for and nurtured. Some people would describe this as the type of love parents have for their children. Or children, which have a love for their parents. Which I would deem more of the natures of respect as when we get older some come to have that parental value for their parents. I myself thought there was a different meaning as there is a differentiation between an honor, I can say I love and respect my mother yet I would not call that a security manner of love unless I was still within my youth.

FRIENDSHIP LOVE: This would fall into brotherhood, and that manner that you feel at ease with those, which you deem as friends. This is a love between yourself and someone that is totally honest, open and comfortable. You really only have this kind of bond with a few people. You might know a lot of people and be "friendly" with them in a group situation but they are not the best friends I am talking about here. I myself do believe in contradiction to many that friendship can lay between two of the opposite sex. Yet many believe within this theory that come time friendship as such does lead to romance. Hence brotherly love has never been seen or sought of as that friendship manner between the opposite sexes.

ROMANTIC LOVE: Which is often the most anticipated form of love. Most people experience this type of love many times in their life. It is when you see that person for the first time and he/she makes your knees go weak or gives you butterflies in your stomach.i.e. "Love at first sight”. Most people don’t even love the person they think they are in love with…they fall in love with the idea if being in love. This is more of a lustful kind of love, it wears off after a while and hopefully leads to...Yes, we have all been there in our own ways.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE: This is the sincere love, the love that lasts forever. This kind of love comes when you have found the person you are destined to be with. Nothing can destroy unconditional love. It is like when you have an argument or disagree about something with that person and you realize that it doesn’t bother you because the love you have for him/her overcomes everything.

Then there is this word called honor. Honor is a form of love as well. I do care for my mother, I love her yet at the same time I have seen where a cousin of mine came to be so attached with his mother that she took the priority over and hindered his relationships with his wives. Needless to say, it took him years to get over it and I honor my mother within a loving manner. But it’s within a mode, which I assume would fall under unconditional love. This is no lure but I have loved, and I am not attached to my mother but she is much like a best friend. Yet if I may, I love women but I believe that one can be a friend with a woman. It might not be the same as the friendship between men as there is a difference within that.

Yet beyond these four traditional thoughts or definitions of love – is love really finite and can be rendered within subjective words. I honor and love my mother. I am not fixated on her. I guess what I am getting at is that I have my own life, which includes friendships, love, and passions. Would that not be of justice for thyself?

Perhaps it’s all within simplicity and people have their own way. No two being exactly alike, yet the render of that commodity of understanding. Yet family bonds with a mother would be that of honor, coupled with an unconditional duty. While the kindred friends would be that of understanding, romance would be within the toes curling up. And passions might be that of which fortifies.

 

Mothers and Mothers Day

My mother was nothing more that just a mother. The way that I see it is that she choose to raise us kids within the family. Her first name is Brigita Rose Kormos. She was the second to the youngest within her family of seven. Her father was of an ethnic back ground of Hungarian by way of her father and her own mother was Hungarian with a mix of Hungarian with a mix of Italian. She married my father. A lady that came from a small town and was raised upon the farm. When my grandfather decided to retire from farming she along with one aunt of mine moved into this small town called Yorkton. Shortly thereafter she met my father and for that matter the rest is history.

As my father was within the military, they met and the two got married. By the time I entered within the world, I was younger than a family of three. (Thereafter my father had a son from another women - which they discussed before they were married).

Mom was always the one that really had that full time job of raising us kids. Before she met my father, she sold shoes within a department store and had several within this town that wanted her hand in marriage but she waited till she was twenty four to get married. In those days, that was considered over the hill. Yet she lived to her own accord.

This saying that a man is only as good as the women behind him - does apply. But in many ways I think that she was the strength or foundation within the family. There were times whereby my father had his shortcomings. And whom was the one that picked up things when some of those happened - Mom. She went out of her way to converse with us. As there were times were my father was too busy and she really went the extra mile. I think it was part of her nature and as well, I am sure that there were times where they probably or nearly came to divorce or seperate. Yet, seemingly she was the one that was the comfort within the family. I am not negating my father as those were the way things were back then.

With each one of us she ensured that there was always the ability to talk. As many fathers can be - especially in those days. She ensured that we had choices. As well, she knew what was happening with each and everyone of us. I would not go as far to say that my father was ever abusive. Actually to the contrary. Yet this was the ying and yang of marriage. She by choice wished to be a mother and raise us and with all things concerned - she not only knew most everything as to what we were doing and as well, perhaps she was more of the one that was approachable.

While I was a kid, I remember she made sure that we kept up with our schooling and as well as there was always something on the table. She loved to cook as well as she had her own group of friends. She seemed to know more within our youth of what was happening. Tended to most all things. While my father was that traditional bread winner.

If there was anything that would characterize her within my youth was she made darn sure that we went to school. And as years passed on she really had more of a handle of what was happening with my older brother, my sister, and then myself. For me, I pretty much had a free for all. As my brother paved that way as he was the first to go through that adolescent period and he tested this conservative realm of which we were raised. So by the time I was at a certain age, my father thought he would give me a free for all as Blaine had girls, and then more girls and my father didn't know how to deal with it. But my mother could talk sense with him.

I think for a good part of my father's earlier years, he did rely on my mother who goes ironically by the name of Bunny. On her birth certificate, he father from Hungary made a few mix ups as one some documents it was Rose Bertha, and then on others it was Brigita and when it came to entering the US this all had to be fixed up as it was a bit of a mix up. But one thing mom never did was get mixed up on what she did as a mother and for that matter as wife. This term of within marriage of, through thick and thin, and through sickness and in health", she lived by it as mentioned earlier there were times that she could have easily left and separated my father. Some of his pals in the Air Force tended to spend most of the evening within the mess hall, and now and then my father did that more so before my time. But within each family there are the ups and downs.

The one thing I am certain of is that she came from being shy to really coming into her own. One whom loved to dance, could play piano and guitar and every day you would hear her singing some song.

When we returned into Canada as I was a kid, there were some ordeals that broke out a really all in all my father thought it was the best thing to bring us back into Canada as he was preparing to retire. He wanted my brother to go to a Air Force Academy but Blaine was not for it. He had as well as I - our ways entirely paid to enter into the Air Force and go to University in what's known as Royal Roads but neither of us wished to go that path. Dad never took well to it and Mom was the one that understood that we were making our own way and it was our option as to what we did. As well, my sister had some problems and for the most part Mom knew all too well that she needed that extra assistance.

Come morning of everyday during elementary, junior high, and high school. Mom was the one that was doing something silly. I remember so ofter her singing this song she made up," You gotta get up you gotta get up (and then at the top of her lungs) cause it's MORNING. Back then it was that "Okay, Okay, I'm up". And it's how we all went about our daily lives as kids. She really was the creative one within the family, still is and as well she had her struggle with Cancer. She had to have noids removed and then radiation. This was after my father came close to passing on. And I remember back then his request to me that if he should pass on that I ensure everything is set up for her. So that is something I shall do. She has not been in the greatest of health right now as while I was away from this city, my father took a fall out of bed, and she tried to pick him up and ended up with some fractures.

There ordinary doctor whom came here from South Africa was away at the time and some young fresh out of medical school, placed her on what is called Hydro Morph. Which is Morphine. He titrated her off it and her immune system has never completely returned as of yet. But people get old and still she has that spirit. Tomorrow with all concerned, my hopes are to take my laptop over to their place and just maybe some shall wish "Bunny" as she is called a Happy Mother's day. She is fascinated with the internet and when I arrived back from New York they all thought it was a fad. Well, I wish she would have picked it up as she would have literally had a hoot on it.

Many know I am divorced, I don't have any kids there were a few good close calls and I remember while many spanish aunts at the time were all praying for a child and I literally got home and passed this by my mother as I was stressed out to no extent back then and Bunny (my mother) as well just started in with, "Jack when me and your father had Blaine and Lorna, we just got by for a while there and this is the best thing that could ever happen". Well, I was doing that ok Mom - it's all good. But I got off the phone and then took the subway back downtown. And at the time when I was married, it was false alarm. I am not against kids, but the intention was to be married for a little longer and then my former wife and myself - wished to have kids which had dual citizenship.

I guess what I am getting at is I have a great mother. She has had much on her plate. And I think at times she ponders on the meaning of why. At this time within there live it's called the golden years. And I wish they were much more golden as there has been much illness and concerns for two people that now should have there own time to enjoy their own company and then be surprised by these occassions that take place. I do have a sister that has some problems, I don't wish to get into it but they have that on their shoulders. I think Mom carries all the weight and she has through the years. They have had and tremendous life. All in all most of their friends have either divorced and then there are a few very good friends that live in other parts of Canada and for mother's day I wish to bring some laughter, something that she can get a kick out of so I shall see what I do.

We have this thing where we don't feel it's within the material, but I know that Bunny, my mother does need some sort of surprise. I think she has been handling too much for too long and all taken into consideration I love the art of surprise. As my father now tends to see her in some ways as a mother like scenario and that coupled with my older sister. I think within some manner tomorrrow, I shall do something which is a surprise to her as it's funny how you come to be the parent, yet Mom is Mom. Regardless of our ages, if we have a mother that is still around and there has been a good relationship. I wish to muster up something.

How do I characterize my mother. She was the foundation of the family. And seemingly amongst all she still is and tomorrow is a day which often there is some situation and I have not had the time to plan for this one. But her character is and has always been that of one that looks on the good side of things and apparently still all her older brothers and sisters which are still alive, call her every night. There's something to be said for that as I think she has been that one that has always tended to others needs. And come tomorrow there shall be something and if not tomorrow it will be a surprise on Monday. Character - she has always been one that has a pleasant demeanor and common sense coupled with a good heart. There's nothing like making her laugh and somewhere within all that - it's what my intention is. If you know of any utubes or songs from the era of the 60's by all means send them this way as I might do something by way of my laptop tomorrow.

I guess that is a request as if she hears or sees some of the people I know on here. Literally I have a hunch and it's called LAPTOP. As I know she would just love it.

If you have it in ya I would appreciate it and the above is Bunny, in her younger years as somewhere on my blog here I have a picture of her from a year ago and one thing she loves is music. She does not know how to speak Hungarian - yet that was her first language. But I see some of you as great friends. I do mean that and even if it's a picture from your world.

Why not! Many of you have been the best of friends and I was just thinking of doing something creative. But I do see mother's as being the foundation of families, I have for years. Bunny did well, as do many women out there with their own. I should have never took that rest as I am wide awake. But if you have the time it would be rather cool...Above is a picture of Bunny back before I was born. She aged but she never changed much. And I am proud to be her son. There have been more good times that the later.

So tomorrow is Mother's Day and I guess I am thinking outside of the box again. But she was a good looker, and he was more than lucky.

 

 

 

Mother's Day Tribute

I have some pictures and within my intention I did wish to write with regards to my own mother. She brought me within this world as well I have always found that mothers really are the foundation of the family so I thought tonight I would write something of a tribute to her.

Tomorrow is her day and as far as that goes, she has always been the foundation of the family. And she is aging but I thought it was worth doing a little write tonight with regards to my mother whom came from a small town and when it comes down to it throughout our lives she has always been the one that each and everyone within the family could talk with ease with. She was creative, she seems to have been not only a mother within the immediate family but as well to a few others.

But yet she was always the one that was the foundation of bringing us all up.
These are a few pictures of the past. And my desire is to write a little on her.

A Happy Mother's Day to all my friends which have children. I have always believe that mothers are the foundations of the family....Happy Mom's Day to those that are overseas as well as those which celebrate it tomorrow.

I Can Bite Into This

Hey this is a simple as it gets. I had to head to the drugstore with some medications after yesterday. Kisten took me to the Oral Surgery. It wasn't my one root, I was half there after whatever concoction they placed in.  As I spoke with her earlier today and she kind of knew all that happened.

Four teeth were done, the upper ones and I can honestly say I thought it was just this one left root, my wisdom tooth. But I woke at 4am and looked and wow that was a surprise as here like a sneaker is all laced up nearly the same was with my left upper 4 teeth. I headed back to bed and then after heading to get some medication. I gave Kisten a call and she knew a little more than myself. So this one tooth was not the situation there were four that all were done within the same time. After today, I so look forward to getting out and working with this camera. I thank those whom wished me well.

Yesterday when I arrived home. Silly me - I got on here and wrote it was done. Mind you right after I headed to bed. So I thank you today is a stay home day and I am still finding that the cocktail they used is slowly wearing off. The way I see it - I didn't loose 4 teeth and from here on I am going to go get my teeth cleaned every three months. Very unusual time it's been but glad now it's over and this stuff they use by intravenous. It's powerful, I can only remember parts and then it's like time was back and forth - very bizarre. For now I don't mind being indoors but come tomorrow and if all is better I am out and enjoying the day.

I have never felt so bizarre as yesterday and I have never been on here as much as today but I do thank you to everyone. And there are a few things on the horizon now and I look forward to it.  So thus it is. I can bite into that. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 70F and I intend to enjoy it to the fullest. I know it's mother's day as well so I might be late, but she understands. I never was one to sit long especially at this time of the year. So I am glad this is over and I have tried to get to everyone here and to say thank you.

Hence Thanks Much,

Jack

 

 

Done, and now and eve of healing after surgery...

The Day Before...

I deleted the last post. Hope that does not render a feel of intimidation. For good reason I did as they were of a personal kind. There are some that thrive on what goes wrong rather than what goes right. Remember in how words are said and their meaning. I do yet I look on the brighter side of things as I have done before. I have an eve to just enjoy the time and then tomorrow I do have this surgery.

My desire was sent to a few friends on here last night. Don't think for a second that I don't tend to things within my own realm as I do. There are those that use words within the context contrary to what they mean. When one sits at a table and looks into the eyes of another. More than often instincts do justice. For this eve, I wish to have a good time.

I, myself have made a few calls now. And there is one commodity that we all have. I suppose that is of your own. Within the day again I enjoyed it most. The glass is more that half full and while leaving a place I ran into a dog that was much like the one I was raised with. A pomerianian, which was called Ziggy.

It's Thursday and who knows what happens tomorrow. I can't say my folks are perfect, nor my sister which I don't mention much. But for the most part of the day it was plenty.

So my desire is to enjoy the writes and blogs. Hence - Why Not!
