TODAY THE WORLD LOST A GOOD SOUL!



I follow a blog called Paris Cowgirl, she is linked on my side bar.  I checked in or her today and to my sadness she did a post about a young lady who passed this holiday season.

Her name was Tina, and her blog was Glue on my Fingers Paint in my Hair.  I didn't know Tina; but I wish I would have.  I visited her blog and her last post was in early December, indicating that she was going back to the hospital and had high hopes of being home by Christmas Eve.  However, that was not to be.  I don't know why this has touched me so, perhaps it is because Tina was so young, perhaps it is because she was so talented, or perhaps it is because she was a fellow blogger that I never got to know.




When death makes a house call
Sorrow stands at the door


Lingering in dreams and memories
So neatly packed and folded


Like a suitcase waiting for
a long-planned trip to where?


Your good-byes are made in pieces
Like the patchwork quilt of your life


The colors mingling until they become one
Then death arrives and the separation is again very clear





J.B.

Blessings dear friends,


p.s. Grama - give Tina a hug.

  1. Beautiful post! Tina was a very special person and she didn't have to be your neighbor to be your friend. Her friendship traveled across this Country. She was uplifting, inspiring, encouraging, and most of all she was real! I think you and I have alot in common! I deeply felt the loss of Tina. Thank you so much!

  3. Oh, what a sweet post! I was lucky enough to know Tina call her my friend. She was a remarkably kind, talented and giving person. I hope your Grama and Tina are sharing an iced tea on heaven's front porch. Thank you for your tender words. It is a tribute to Tina's beautiful spirit that she has touched so many people.

  5. What a sweet post. It is so hard when someone dies and there seems to be too much of it in blogland this past week. I am glad we can be here for the sweet souls that are hurting from the loss.
    Hugs and prayers, Lisa

  7. Where would we be without hope? This woman, even though so very ill, still had hope.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
