Once again, I am here, trying to find the inspiration to get out of the boat. Never pictured myself as one who could walk on water, being content to simply float. I've heard it told that God will give what is needed to complete the task if it's what He calls you to do, all you need to do is ask. I've been asking for a life jacket because He knows that I can't swim, one foot in, afraid I'll drown, so hard to have faith in Him. But I know I must do something now. I can't let life pass me by- leap on in and if I drown, at least I gave a damn good try. |

My dear passing, between my cooking, what is the problem? You did not say anything and you scared me out of my body. So, do please not do that again. You could have talked any problem out in stead writing that "silly" poem. because I am quite a generation older than you.... after three times cry, I surly will ignore you. take care and a very good poem. I am glad that you come back to yourself and still can write poem while I am still trembling at your last post. hugs |

I've heard it told that God will give what is needed to complete the task if it's what He calls you to do, all you need to do is ask. ~*~ And yes, dear, it is and can be as simple as that. Just remember... one ask at a time.    |

"But I know I must do something now. I can't let life pass me by- leap on in and if I drown, at least I gave a damn good try." Now you've got it! One step at a time. Every day IS a new day. Smile sister! Smile. JL  Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: |

I think we could make a raft out of the words that you weave so well. Then you can float to your destination - or soar on the beauty of your poetry. Alison |

Nice writing...I've watched Joyce... When in doubt sometimes decisions are better made in the council of others... those that are not so emotionally involved can see the situation more clearly and act accordenly...James |

The strength is within you, as is the lightness that can keep you afloat. |
