A Little Morning Toxic, A Little Morning Pray'r

Image
Purple is the color of rain. Green is the land we live in. The sky so high is peaceful and shy... Bashful is the color of sky. Look up to see the beauty  Look up and gaze with wonder Look up with hopes up high With dreams that keep fluttering by. Let us not squander the gifts of nature. For it is the very fabric of our lives. We live in a place of no return... where plastics are not hard to come by :-( Should we wait 'til everything turns hard, then burns into smoldering toxic waste? Hail no, we shouldn't! Hail no, we won't! God save us from our self-made wasteland. God save us from our toxic lives. God help us be aware, God keep us wide awake! Let us rise from the ashes, and prove once again that man can live with nature the only way Nature allows us to... With deference and R-e-s-p-e-c-t. Say!  My little morning pray'r. (pending editing)

Top Ten Things I like about Gaga

Image
Watch this vid as the Musicians@Google (pay tribute) & Present: Google Goes Gaga Given this Internet Age and millions of admirers who follow her through this medium many younger ones would consider the only one they're familiar with,  I thought of writing a dissertation on Lady Gaga, in essence to validate her___ but I thought it would be best to assume the manner of simply enumerating the Top Ten things I like about her, knowing that most of you reading this piece would be 'attention-deficited' by now. So here it is, the Top Ten Things I like about Lady Gaga : 1. Her unconventional wisdom. 2. Her fierce l*o*v*e  for the underdog.  (zzzzzo gayzzz) 3. Her sense of humour. (Yep!   She's got it!) 4. Her sense of artistic creativity and freedom.  (Who can wear shoes like that?) 5. Her appreciation  for Life.  (I don't think she's the suicidal type!) 6. Her mother's love. (She has a lovely looking mother!) 7....

A Poem for Andre before Dying

Image
ANDRE Nov. 14, 1997-Feb. 2, 2011 A kiss goodnight for my dying dalmatian dog Andre who dies... And a poem to keep his memories alive. May you truly go to your place in the sun. If I never really gave you proper dog training, and kept you wild at heart and spirit In death I am indebted to your childlike behavior and total loyalty and so you will remain forever in my heart. For the best-looking dog in the whole neighborhood, ...those round brown eyes and a coat of well-distributed spots of black on white and my best guard against the stupid stray cats not to mention the stupider turkey who used to be in your place, May you rest with memories of a happy adoptee. I love you Andre!  Goodnight. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (I hope the writer doesn't mind) FEBRUARY TOMATOES ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Until winter relaxes her long thin fingers When will we taste again our favorite ...

50 Lessons Life Taught Me By Regina Brett To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me.

 It is the most-requested column I've ever written. When my odometer rolled over to 50, I updated the list. Here it is: 1) 

Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

 2) When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3) Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

 4) Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

 5) Pay off your credit cards every month. 6) You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

 7) Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. 8) It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

 9) Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

 10) When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. 11) Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

 12) It's OK to let your children see you cry.

 13) Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea ...
