Thankful Thursday and A Song...May 16, 2013



Hi everyone, it is 6PM on Thursday evening and I am just getting around to blogging for the day. We had a friend over today and being over meant a lot to her. 

Does that mean it is too late for Thankful Thursday? The answer is no because we should be thankful for every moment of every day.

I cannot say enough how thankful I am to have the friends I do, on and off line. Having my friend over today was all about relationships and how we should build on them. Sometimes we take our friends and our families for granted. Sometimes we forget to stop and be thankful for the little things that they are granting us, even if they are not aware.

So today, I am thankful for my friend Stormie who came by today and just simply hung out with me and Tamirisc. It was fun and relaxing.

Don't forget to link up.
Do me a favor and go tell my blog pal, Xmas Dolly hello too. She could use some bloggy/friend love.

Wordless Wed....sort of. May 15, 2012


Today Tamirisc and I went on the new light rail line for Denver. When we do stuff like that it always includes some sort of photo shoot. 

Part of the rail line goes by Elitch Gardens which at one time was owned by 6 Flags.
I took this photo for my friends who like to play this game on Facebook! *grins*

Pre-Mother's Day Thoughts

Tomorrow we celebrate our Mothers. Of course "mother" does not necessarily mean biological. It can mean a woman who took care of us and we love. In my case, I celebrate biologically. *grins*

I found a site that wants to celebrate around the world as mothers are generally peace keepers. This is what they had to say:

Mother’s Day was conceived in the 1600's as a day to celebrate women's vital role in peacemaking.  It is celebrated in 44 countries around the world. We invite a return to that original intention, a global sisterhood of peace joined as one across tribes and nations.   

So, maybe some of you are saying at this point this is all a bunch of mumbo-jumbo hoopla. Well, maybe it is, but can it really hurt to gather together in a common goal?  

How many of our children have been injured or killed due to violence? How many of our children go hungry? How many of our children do not get a good education? How many of our children are homeless?

You say, well, this is not MY child. Which of course may be true but it is someones child!

Let us take a moment, we Mothers, on Mother's Day, to pray for our children, our families and for peace around the world. Just a moment.

At 1PM New York time, stop and take a moment to say this prayer collectively:

Mother’s Day Peace Prayer 

Together Let Us Invoke the Power of Unconditional Love and Commitment from
All the Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunties, and All Women, Circling the Earth,

To Awaken the Global Heart, by Lifting our Voices in a Chorus for Peace.

We will move forward to Influence Humanity
For a More Caring, Just, Tolerant and Peaceful World.

Let It Be So.

Thankful Thursday and A Song...May 9, 2012


This week I have been enduring much noise from on-going construction that has been happening here in my apartment complex. It certainly has been enough to drive anyone batty.

However, as crazy as it may sound I am somewhat grateful for the noise too for a couple of reasons.

First of all, just to be able to hear any sound at all for me is a miracle in itself. As I only have 5%  of  my hearing, to hear anything is a blessing even if it is racket. I am ever so grateful that the Creator gives me that 5% because if it is construction noise or the cry of a baby, I want to still hear.

The second thing is, all this construction is a process that is pushing Tamirisc and I into something greater. Soon they will be wanting to reconstruct our apartment and when they do, we have to move. Moving in the past has meant saying goodbye in many ways for us but this time, that is not the case.

This time we get to move into a brand-spanking new apartment that has totally be renovated and we are upgrading too!  After issues with unemployment for a year and a half and not knowing if we were even going to be homeless, this is quite welcome.

So, so grateful.

For my song today, how about some beautiful noise.

Make sure you link up with me and my blog pal Xmas Dolly.
Peace...Naila Moon

Word(ish) Wednesday...May 8, 2013


Happy Wednesday everyone. It is nice to be back for Word(ish/less) Wednesday. I know it is late in the evening to be putting up a post for Wordless but that is just how I roll lately. What can I say, I work best in the afternoon and late into the evening/wee hours of the morning.

So, anyway...

As most of you know, I spent half the month of March and all of April helping out my Mother who lives in Sedona, Arizona. It is a truly beautiful place and the area my Mother lives in is just...wow!

It so happens, as these things might, one of our own bloggy friends lives there too.  I had asked her if we could meet in person and she agreed.  We had a great luncheon at a restaurant called "Nicks" and talked about our lives and of course blogging!

As usual, we bloggers must take loads of photos...always...so, it is without a doubt that we got photos of each other and I have one for Wordless...well, not so wordless Wednesday. Lucy, I certainly hope you do not mind!
