Flaming June's Love

I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers. [info][add][mail] Kahlil Gibran (1883 - 1931)

A few of my favorites and love to all.

Its not political for me today, Today is hope, pride, courage, and unity. Black, white yellow, I am proud to be American. Although there are people that are waiting for a problem and I know there will be, I prefer to wait for change, beginnings, brotherhood and pride. This is a defining moment in our history, like it or not, voted for it or not, the tomorrows of yesterday are today. I will blog again later with more static benign Suzidom I am sure but for right now I am waving out my southern most window to the Americans standing in the cold huddled together watching and waiting for the beginning of something new.

""Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at the people who belong to us we see the past, the present, and the future"" Author: Gail Lumet Buckley My brothers were all in this weekend and I am truly blessed. My daughter got that tattoo last week and I felt blessed then, I feel it today. I will feel it tomorrow when our new President takes his oath of office. I am not a politically savvy person, but I do know what feels hopeful, courageous and brings a nation together even if for one day. How would my Dad feel about a black president? It could have gone either way. I know how I feel. I feel a bubbling unity, a desire to calm the disenchanted, an air of pride. I am excited for tomorrow, I am excited for the day after too. I am attaching pics from our night out all together. I missed my sister in laws but I was happy to have, "My Boys" They will be 90 and still be my BOYS.

Because You Remember Me Submitted by: Scrapsaholic Author: Unknown I know I am still with you in your prayers, your thoughts, your heart And though you cannot see me, I will always be a part of life's sweet celebrations in those times when you reflect on how, though things are different, through our love, we still connect. We'll see each other someday when our spirits all are free, until then, I am with you because you remember me.

Love this although I dont know what the message is for me lately. Just a few of my favorite things. Love to all.

A Danish proverb: "The road to a fiends house is never long" I am feeling this today. My niece left this am to go on back to New Mexico. Her visit was truly refreshing for me. She added a new feeling of... something else. I dont know if she has a peace about her that adds something more to the house. I think it is new perspective and I respect her. She is still a kid and we all have so much to learn but when you add someone new to the mix it is always a good thing. I think she found out about our lives and we saw a glimpse of hers. It is all good, and I now feel that I have a friend as well as a niece in New Mexico. the other night I mentioned something to the effect of a lesson needs to be learned at every stage of her life and she just needs to learn it in ITS time. She said well what is the lesson?, Sheeesh if I know Kay but there is a lesson in not rushing through life. She has had an opportunity to go to Africa as a volunteer for rape crisis which is her goal. ...
