Magical World -I called your name out loud in the courtyard,The crystal I held was like an old friendThe vines crawled the wallsThe wind held its breathBut the answer I longed for never came...Your name, they had said, was cursed beyond measure,The families at odds fought with poisoned tonguesAnd yet through the dark,Of blind, bitter hate,Broke a glittering light of two lover's fate...Walls built between us,Miles separate us,Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream...Feelings so strong,We just must carry on,On to our Magical World...Destiny called them like a silver poemThey followed the dance 'till the music died out...Last time they met was on an earth bedBoth knowing they'd meet again in the light...Walls built between us,Miles separate us,Yet in our hearts, we share the same dreamFeelings so strongWe just must carry on,On to our Magical World...In our Magical World... In our Magical World...Fear not, dear Juliet, your Romeo's callingHe's waiting for you at the end of the song,This world was too cruel... for lovers like you,But here in our hearts you'll always live on... Walls built between us,Miles separate us,Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream...Feelings so strong,We just must carry on,On to our Magical World...Walls built between us,Miles separate us,Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream...Feelings so strong,We just must carry on,On to our Magical World...Walls built between us,Miles separate us,Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream...Feelings so strong,We just must carry on,On to our Magical, Magical, Magical, World...On to our Magical, Magical, Magical, World...(Between us)(So strong)On to our Magical, Magical, Magical, World...

Year of the Horse

WOOD HORSE HoroscopeFeb 3, 1954 to Jan 23, 1955
Horse people have a balance of the best kind of qualities. Have you ever seen a wild horse on the beach, with flying mane and flaring nostrils, every muscle bursting with life and je ne sais quois? Without a doubt, the Horse is the standard for grace, strength, rhythm and nobility. They have an amazing capacity for hard work. As a result, they know great success and financial security in their lifetimes. Often quite ostentatious, they enjoy being with large crowds and always seek out the grand and magnificent. They need people and have a weakness for those of the opposite sex. You can often find Horses at concerts, music festivals, and the Super Bowls of life.
Parsley Soup and Ginger Root are among the keys to good health!!

The Wood Horse is a magnificent creature, full of dignity and proud bearing. These very intelligent beings climb to high places by sheer force of personal magnetism and good-natured daring. Because of their extraordinary leadership, Wood Horses have many followers and many admirers. A sturdy oak of society, the life of the Wood Horse always holds up under scrutiny. Under tense deadlines, Wood Horses rear up with conviction and passion and make quick decisions with split-second reflexes. Their judgement is always on the mark. Wood Horses work hard -- they play hard. They make a lot of money -- they spend a lot of money. Generous to a fault, they conceive grand wonderful ways of having fun and always invite friends to raise a toast to memory-making. In Love Life, every day becomes a memory maker, filled with treasures of the mind and spirit. Love partners know the Wood Horse is a "keeper", faithful and loyal to the end of time.
Famous Horse People: Duke of Windsor, Princess Margaret, Billy Graham, Igor Stravinsky, Bertrand Russell, Joseph Haydn, Barbra Streisand, Nelson Mandela, Anwar Sadat, Neil Armstrong

Gardening

The one thing I have missed the most since moving last June has been my garden. However, since this was to be a temporary move, I was not going to deal with gardening until we had made the permanent move.

Yeaaaaaaaaa RRRRRRRRRiiiiiiighhhhhhhhttttttt! Lol

Yesterday, I couldn't take it any more and purchased several packs of seeds when I went to Walmart. 6 different kinds of herbs and 4 different flowers to be planted in plots and then installed in herb garden and flower beds once we are moved.

Even started a gardening journal at http://haven4dragon.blogspot.com/

Now I just hope they grow :)

    Making a connection

    Its always neat to make online friends. It's even neater to meet them in person when you can. This week, I have had that opportunity again when Rosemary spent the week in Ft. Smith.

    I was able to spend Tuesday and today with her and it was a blast. Her kids are darling! Tuesday, Cian came over and hugged me, asked me my name and then took my hand and kissed it. Not bad for a 2 yr old.......he'll be quite the ladies' man one day! :) Jaime is a real cute one, and does not like to see anyone upset at all.

    Needless to say we hit the crafts stores as well as Books A Million. Spent time crafting and talking and just enjoying finding someone else with the same likes and interests as self.

    *Sigh* Do you HAVE to go home tomorrow, Rose??????????

    The Hermit

    For some reason, around this time of year, I tend to "hermit". Hide away, don't talk much. Communication becomes an effort. Motivation disappears.

    I think that is kind of obvious since my last entry was over a month ago :)

    But I have come to the conclusion lately that its ok not to have anything to say. Instead, I have been listening. At night, when its quiet here, I hear outside. The slight whisper of a breeze past the closed windows. The sharpness of a sudden thunderstorm. The sound of the rain hitting various objects.

    Why? Right now I don't know. I just know its what has been happening.

    Is anything wrong? Oh heck yea.....of course there is. Just the fact that we are alive means something will be wrong. Its life....Life is not perfect. Not a fairytale. Things are going to be wrong. But it doesn't mean life is not good either. Just means its going to take more work. Maybe that's why the quiet time. Resting before the work commences? I know I have learned that maybe we humans spend too much time talking and not enough time listening. I need to get back to active listening and that has also been apart of this past few weeks.

    People have not understood where I am coming from right now. That's ok. Not sure if I do either. But I am beginning to realize that right now, I am not really in a bad place....just a different place.

    Time for a new season?
