His Phoenix

Read the rest of HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Can one compare a year to a fine wine? I guess some people can but I don’t think that is possible for me this past year. I have seen friends come and go… bloggers that have come into my life and faded away.
Ian from Its not Rocket Science was my first blogroll bud. He [...]

A Thousand Gifts
A thousand gifts you have given me,
Eyes closed in despair can now see,
A heart now open, no more pain,
The sun now shines, no more rain.
Grass is greener on this side of the fence,

Skies are bluer; clouds with silver wings,
Golden dreams of you, as my heart sings.
Heaven’s [...]

I discovered something today… Ironically, it’s finally good news. You see, when I took Philip to the ex’s house, I discovered that I don’t hurt as much. You see, I am starting to get over her.
I must say that I will always hurt, but, as the saying goes, “Time heals all wounds.” [...]

I find it hard to believe that it’s Christmas Eve day. I bet that you all find that hard to believe, but it IS true. You see, I was in school for the first two weeks of December, and I don’t really go out or watch television, so I haven’t been exposed to [...]

To all my friends and family:
My wish for you is a day full of laughter and cheer. A day that will be in your memories as long as you live. Many presents, hugs and kisses. Family all around you, good eats and naps. Football on the tube and christmas music tinkling all around. A bag [...]

This is an oldie that has circulated many time through the e-mails over the years, but has always been one of my favorites.
The Big Wheel

In September 1960, I woke up one morning with six hungry babies and just 75 cents in my pocket. Their father was gone.
The boys ranged from three months to [...]
