Family Death - March 26, 2007

Written by patti on Tuesday, March 27th, 2007 in Thoughts.

A family death has taken me away for the past three days.  My brother passed away. 

No matter what you might think when the time comes for a death, emotions come.  You can either shut hem off or face them and roll with them.  Face them is what I have done.  Age doesn’t matter when some one goes there is always good-byes in memory of how much you have known the person. 

There is no quiet time to find the depth of your soul of feelings for the first few days.  But the kind words of so many bring the message home to the heart.  One lady said from the death of her two brothers it has always been like a hole in her heart for a long time..  It is like losing your childhood.   I took this thought and explored it to be more like losing a part of your childhood.  The formative years of such closeness with siblings.

I am so thankful that I had many good times with my brother.  Out ways our argumentative times. 

Love for someone is always so deep.  Sometimes we have to take the thought time to find that depth with people.  There is good in everyone.  Listen it is there.

Have a Happy Day!  God is always smiling on us. 

I am thankful for all understanding of life and it’s many facets.

Smiles and hugs to all.  Above all HAVE FUN!

Faithful Weekend

Written by patti on Sunday, March 25th, 2007 in Thoughts.

Like all of us the weekends seem to be a time I can slow down or catch up on what needs to be done around the house.  Catch up with friends or whatever becomes a relaxation.  I do enjoy house work.  The weekends always come.  It is time to make of it what I want.  Not that my work controls me because I love my work so much it is just that it gives me time being off work to concentrate some things I need done.  Some times I while it away with not much getting done. 

 Every weekend has been full of friends and family since Christmas so this weekend is special with no where to go.  No shopping to do and I can do things in a slow easy manner. 

Sundays always seems to be magical.  God meant it that way.  Do not know what I am doing until it gets here this week.  Friends are going to help me get my pond up running.  With the weather better I can sit out by it and listen to the waterfall.  Watch the doggies and kitty cat chase through the back yard, the  Koi fish swim and the birds feed.  Now this sounds like a fairly relaxed weekend doing everything I enjoy. 

Accomplishing Day

March 18 almost 19, 2007

My five Koi fish were so happy today when I got the waterfall pump running with the help of a friend.  So was I.  I had lost one big one and though I would lost more.  The waterfall in my pond is so relaxing.  I was so glad to hear the sound again after it had been off for such a long cold winter.  Friends can be such great help.

I am always surprised at what people know when you really get in to talking to them.  Glen who helped me with the pond has knowledge that is way beyond me in the math department.  A great memory also.  He had the pond amounts of water calculated in his head so fast I didn’t know what hit me.  Had to go buy a new pump and that’s what started his calculations.  Hurrah for mathmaticians.  I am good at some kinds of math but sure couldn’t do what he did. 

Once the water fall was running I knew much of the winter yard clean up would be easy from here.  My goal this summer is to grow better grass than my friend Glen.  He is so good at his yard would love to be able to do better.  Guess we will see what happens as the summer goes on.  His wife really works well with him also.  She just knows when to step in and help.  I sit there lost until I am asked for help.

I have done well running the pond for two years but when the pump went out this time I was lost.  It wasn’t old enough to go out yet.  Didn’t want to buy a new one again.  Ended up buying what I think is much better than the one I had.  Some times the learning comes with time and does cost.  I always fight the cost instead of rolling with it.  Lesson again roll with what it is going to cost because it is always worth it.  Sticking to a budget isn’t always the best thing to do.  Whole different subject.

Friend came to visit last evening whom I hadn’t seen for about a year.  She brought her poodle peaches.  Jonesy, Gunny and Peaches ran and ran and ran.  Then Jonesy cried, whimpered looking for Peaches for a couple of hours when they were gone.  I felt so bad for him but didn’t know what to do but cuddle him.  Told him Peaches would be back.  Which he will.

Overall it was what I wanted a good relaxing weekend.
