Hello Diary,

Have a lull in the storm, thought I would pop in briefly and share a few thoughts… haven't been online much lately because of websites and internet changing things and adjusting here...also the weather, especially yesterday, as had near hurricane winds throughout the day and tornadoes in the area.. but "I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship." (Louisa May Alcott)..

Thus far manage to get through relatively unscathed and I don't feel sorry for myself (there are those worse off than me) and don't lose hope because at the end of the storm there is always the rainbow…

And I will get through the storms because I have a dream "There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other." – (Douglas H. Everett)…

And I took the time to contemplate all that I were able to do in spite of the storms of life..

A time to contemplate the past  A time to give thanks...they say,  To relive treasured memories  Of each and every  passing day.    Thanks for letting me feel love  Be it joy, or be it heartache,  To know someone's love  A treasured feeling their love did make.    Thanks for letting me live life  To explore, to follow one's dream,  To seek out and live every adventure  Not enough time in the day... it did seem.    Thanks for letting me meet friends  To share thoughts of love, hope..perhaps a tear,  And by going down the path together in friendship  Doing away with hate, anger….and fear.    Thanks for giving me the courage  To follow my own path...to be me,  To not follow someone else's path  To live my own….. reality.    Thanks for giving me an open mind  As I venture down the path... allowing me,  To gaze upon life's treasures, large and small  That many others do not see.    Thanks for giving me an open heart  Able to love, understand and forgive,  And when I grow too old to dream  A place where my memories will live.    Yes, I have much to be thankful for  And every day the list gets longer... you see,  As I venture down the path least traveled  Searching for what destiny... has waiting for me.                      (Larry "Dutch" Woller )

Well, had better close for now, the lull is coming to an end, dark clouds on the horizon and as they use to say in all the sea ports "the glass is falling" (the barometric pressure is dropping), but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin' and the creeks don't rise…      Hope your path has blue skies, gentle breezes and paved with peace, love and joy and until we meet again..    May the love that you give  Always return to you,  That family and friends are many  And always remain true,  May your mind only know peace  No suffering or strife,  May your heart only know love and happiness  On your journey through life.       (Larry "Dutch" Woller)
