  • Ship In A Harbour

    There is a quote that I am very fond of.  A ship in a harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.  I have always believed that, but I also like to have a few navigational tools with me when I go sailing.

    I am on uncharted seas now, as are a couple of my friends, but we must sail on.  Discovery is success.  Returning to the gray past is failure, even if the past itself was a success.  There are no days but this one and the tomorrows we are building.  Our only navigational aids are the stars of our own hearts.  We must steer true to the stars.  We must set our courses and remain steady upon them.  Whatever shores we have visited are behind us, and the vast sea of the future is before us.  Let us sail boldly, then, and seek new worlds of happiness.  Let us sail boldly.

  • To be or not to be

    To be or not to be?  That seems to be the question facing several of my friends and me on several matters.  It would be great if all were that simple - be or not be; black and white; yes or no; stay or go; do or don't do.  There is one matter on which there is no choice - to love or not to love.  That just happens.  When it does, new vistas open up.  Some are exciting, but frightening at the same time.  That's when the questions begin - not about loving, but about living.  Do we strive to live or merely exist?  Do we try to soar with angels or stick with the devil we know (so to speak)?  This is where it gets tricky for some of us.  For my part, I choose to soar with angels.

  • Distances

    Wow!  I can hardly believe that my last blog was in February!  So much has happened since then!
     I went to visit my two best friends in May, and because of my selfishness and stupidity,  nearly lost one of them in the process.   I hurt her pretty badly, and myself in the process.  I'm still getting over the pain, though I hope that she's over it already.  As a result of things, however, my other best friend and I have drawn even closer, so really things could not have worked out better.   Much has changed since February.  There are things I want to say to a lot of people, but I just can't right now.  I don't have the words, and times are not right for some of them.  All I can say is that I'm living in a world of magic now!

  • What is the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for you?

    Nothing.  But I received a gift for Christmas last year.  It is a heart-shaped, stone-like statuette.  On it in a spiral are the words "Love is given... Love is received... Love is a circle... Everlasting... Love".  It sits on my desk, and I am actually looking at it as I type.  I can't think of any gift I've ever received that meant more to me than this one.  Yet, I'm a little confused as to what it actually means.  Maybe I'll ask someday.  Until then, I thank you, Giver of the Gift.  I wish I could give you something of comparable value, but I don't think that such a thing exists.

       

    I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

    @Juanita_pingu - Thanks for the comment! Meeting friends is the main reason I do welcome wagons. The credits aren't too important. I mainly use them to give minis to friends, as I'm not terribly interested in Xanga Premium. Take care!

    @demonsta - Thanks for posting to my chatboard! I love meeting new friends -- especially ones who flatter me as you did. lol You might want to look into your Celtic background; finding out about one's heritage is a fascinating pastime. Then, too, there are the festivals and other events. Those

    Thanks for the interest! : ) Your page has a nice layout. Nice colours! I have a Celtic background as well, but I suppose I don't pay as much attention to it. Maybe if I looked as good in a kilt as you... Hehe. ;DAlso. I like my current page design as well. I'd love to say I designed it, but of cour
