Temporary

I’m still “high” from my wonderfully touching moment with God last night at church.  So I won’t write anything about it yet.  I’m afraid that trying to define it will make it fizzle away.

 

But I’m just dropping by to explain why my beloved breezy “clear blue skies and adorable fences” template is gone.  Hopefully temporarily though. 

 

I have no time to find out but all of a sudden, the design components and images, apparently hosted by Photobucket are gone.  Surely, it’s not really my problem but the template designer’s account’s.  Photobucket says the bandwidth has been exceeded and we need to upgrade to Pro.

 

That’s what I get with freebies!

 

Anyway, I hope this regular template will suffice for now.  Until I find the solution.

 

Have a blessed Good Friday.  I’ll be back on Easter.

 

*luv always*

Tickled Silly

I nibbled on cold pizza all day at work yesterday and I just realized that when you feed your system with all that cold oily stuff, your Liquor cerebrospinalis seems to thicken as well. It’s just my silly imagination, of course, but yeah, as of this writing I reckon that my CSF from the lumbar region which normally contains 15 to 45 mg/dl protein and 50-80 mg/dl glucose (unless I’m really way off the norm as I am wont to be) is now 80% oily crust, 10% mozzarella, 5% oily mushroom, and 5% apple sauce (don’t barf yet, the latter independently, is what I have to deal with today since it’s the only thing left in my overhead file cabinet survival stash). That, or life just pretty much naturally slowed down today compared to the overdrive I succumbed to yesterday when we were severely short-handed by two people in my department while I had to squeeze in a little bit of paperwork organization for tax purposes – hub’s and mine, plus the monkey biz.  I finished with flying colors last night, with my accountant short of awarding me a cookie, so I’m happy.  Today is the calm after the hurricane. 

Anyway, cold-pizza-brained or not, I’m tickled silly. 

As I just made a little decision to scratch off a lil somethin’ in my humongous bucket list.  I’m going for it on Saturday, the 16 of April.  And I’m giddy and joyful as heck with my tiny secret!

I’m not telling.  Oh I want to tell so bad!  Maybe one day… *wink*

But don’t worry, it’s wholesome and fun and it’s definitely not against the law of God nor the entire universe.  I’m just thrilled at the prospect of feeding my heart with such glee this weekend…with just a little price to pay.  $78!!!  (Actually, times three, since I managed to twist the arms of my dearly supportive hubs, and my sister-in-law who is just as crazy as me! 

What’s in your bucket list?

Point to Ponder today

Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.

10 things to learn from Japan

I got this email from my sister today…


10 things to learn from JAPAN                          

1. THE CALM

Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.



2. THE DIGNITY

Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.



3. THE ABILITY

The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.



4. THE GRACE

People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.



5. THE ORDER

No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.



6. THE SACRIFICE

Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?



7. THE TENDERNESS

Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.



8. THE TRAINING

The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.



9. THE MEDIA

They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.



10. THE CONSCIENCE

When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly
