Where the angels kissed me..........aka HNT time.

Victoria was born with a large birth mark on her neck . On seeing it Wenchy's mom told us that is where the angel's kissed her. How cool is that?


Some weeks later just as I got out the bath Liam noticed that I too have a birth mark . He roared with laughter. I asked him why he was laughing. He gleefully explained that an angel had kissed my butt.

Little Woman

I had to laugh. It feels like just yesterday Victoria told us she was turning two points. This in the run up to her second birthday.

This morning Victoria (now Six Points) is slowly combing her tresses like she has all the time in the world. No rush to get ready for school happening here.

She looks across at me and says," Daaaa'd, can I take that South African dolly to school?"

I reply, "Victoria, I would rather that you worry about geting ready for school, and not worry about the dolly, it's late"

Victoria patiently replies while still slowly combing her tresses, " I ............... can worry about two things at the same time".

110% multitasking Woman I tell you.

I have always liked theatre on a black backrop.







Sometime's life is dark and blurry. The optimist in me heads for the light.

Walking in my Shoes Lyrics – Depeche Mode


I would tell you about the things

They put me through

The pain I've been subjected to

But the Lord himself would blush

The countless feasts laid at my feet

Forbidden fruits for me to eat

But I think your pulse would start to rush


Now I'm not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes


You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes


Morality would frown upon

Decency look down upon

The scapegoat fate's made of me

But I promise now, my judge and jurors

My intentions couldn't have been purer

My case is easy to see


I'm not looking for a clearer conscience

Peace of mind after what I've been through

And before we talk of any repentance

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes


You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes


Now I'm not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes


You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes


You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

I did it 12 times in 12 months …….

but  I did it 5 times in the last month month. WOW . things are looking up.









Hey watch where your mind is going; I did twelve blog entries in 12 months 5 of those in the last month.



 



*tips hat to mrs. diamond who has nudged me to remind me I need to keep my visitors entertained.



 



The principle reason I don’t write that many blogs is because it scares me. I can sit on a blog for days before I publish it. I find it scary to put my life out in cyberspace. When I eventually do I find it very therapeutic.



 



For me there is almost a thrill in facing my fear and putting it out there. My heart races every time I do. Some self diagnosis points me towards : Counterphobia - Counterphobia refers to deliberately seeking out and exposing oneself to the situation one has fear for.









Ghandi said we should learn a new word everyday, so go read the Counterphobia bit again. ;-)



 



So in conclusion I have two questions ,



 



For the blogger folk I ask do you feel anxious when you put your life out there?



 



For those who don’t blog, would you blog if you are in a position to and why would you,  and if not why not, ?
