posted 8/9










i'm feeling a bit indulgent
today...
my birthday gift
to myself was
to make a video
in tribute to my
mum and dad
so that we could
share my birthday
today...
it feels good to
have that pic
of my dad above
sharing my page
with me this month...
i remember with
great love and joy
sharing their
25th wedding anniversary
with them
when i was 21...
now i'm 61
it seems not
possible...
if they were here
with us today
they'd be celebrating
their 65th anniversary
at the end of the month..
the mind boggles!
it's also dad's birthday
on the 11th...
we always shared
our birthdays
as we shared
everything...
so please forgive
my little
reminisces
of yesteryear...
that happens
when you get
older...
you'll see!
have a piece of cake
for me
and a great weekend!

"People liked him, not because
He was rich or known to fame;
He had never won applause
As a star in any game.
His was not a brilliant style,
His was not a forceful way,
But he had a gentle smile
And a kindly word to say.

Never arrogant or proud,
On he went with manner mild;
Never quarrelsome or loud,
Just as simple as a child;
Honest, patient, brave and true:
Thus he lived from day to day,
Doing what he found to do
In a cheerful sort of way.

Wasn't one to boast of gold
Or belittle it with sneers,
Didn't change from hot to cold,
Kept his friends throughout the years,
Sort of man you like to meet
Any time or any place.
There was always something sweet
And refreshing in his face.

Sort of man you'd like to be:
Balanced well and truly square;
Patient in adversity,
Generous when his skies were fair.
Never lied to friend or foe,
Never rash in word or deed,
Quick to come and slow to go
In a neighbor's time of need.

Never rose to wealth or fame,
Simply lived, and simply died,
But the passing of his name
Left a sorrow, far and wide.
Not for glory he'd attained,
Nor for what he had of pelf,
Were the friends that he had gained,
But for what he was himself."
Edgar A. Guest

rosie o'donnell has taken august off
from her blog and i've missed her...
just tonight, however, i thought i'd check

sure enough!
here i pass on to you, what i saw....
is this the breakthrough we've always
hoped for...
and if so, why hasn't anyone heard about it?!

well it seems this month has been all about amazing videos that i have come across....

this video is truly a wonder to see....
what an astonishing thing someone captured
near oxford, england....starlings gathering....
filmed at an RSPB reserve called otmoor.
it is the most remarkable thing
i think i have ever seen.....
the accompanying music is also
quite magical...
from CSS music....
called "Soaring with the Sun."
