We Are Many...

We Are One!

A couple of weeks ago, I read an article, written by

Theresa, of Faerie Moon Creations,

 about, Community.

You can read it here.

Little did I know at that time, how poignant 

that article would affect my, sense of Community

in the past few days.

With the devastation that has happened in my Community,

I've watched strangers come together.

I see kindness and consideration.

I see the emotions of families,

their thankfulness,

their gratitude,

and their sorrow!

I see, the helping hands, 

the generosity, of giving.

I see the Community!

We are rich, we are poor,

we have homes built with sticks,

and homes built with marble,

but our Community is One!

So, with brick by brick, 

and hammer to nail,

maybe, just maybe, we can 

build a stronger, sense of Community.

We are Many, We are One!

Be Well!

Tornado Weather....

Pre Tornado...

went from this to this...

Then to this...

and from light 

to dark, in a moments flash!

It seemed so calm, and then...

what?

This was truly, a calm before the storm!

The calm, being, I felt completely safe during

this Tornado!

I'd asked my Husband, "are you ready to head for the basement?'

And he said, "Nawh, !"

When we saw the birds fly into our yard, and stay,

we knew we were okay!

But...I couldn't reach my daughters!

Cell phone service was the pits!

It took  me nearly 2 hours to reach contact with 

my girls...couldn't reach them so I tried to to call 

my son, who lives in Texas...couldn't reach him either!!!!!

A Mothers Panic....If I can't reach the child who should be

safe, in the heart of Texas,

away from the storm and can't even reach him, 

what am I suppose to do?

SCREAM!

I just want...my children to be out of harms way!

I am fortunate that, I, my Husband and my Home

are safe!

My Children are all accounted for,

my Mother, who was right in the eye,

of this twisted sister, is SAFE!

Two houses from her...was like

it didn't exist!

It's just so surreal,

that the Morning was

so pretty 

and the afternoon

brought 

devastation!

Be well, to all!

Be Thankful,

And be grateful!

Truly!

Grateful! 

Could you live without, toiltet paper?

Or, even, a place to use that toilet paper?

A safe place to lay your head at night?

Amazing, what the devestion of a storm, can take away from you!

Your world as you knew it, is gone!

I am glad I don't have the tooth pick pictures to show,

I think, you can imagine!

My heart to all!

Love!

I'm...

With my baby!

Doing the Texas, Two Step!

Which, by the way, is the first dance step, that

I learned,...a long, long time ago.

When I saw this photo, that my Daughter-In-Law,

sent me, it brought back that, memory!

It's funny how an image can evoke a long forgotten memory!

But it's all those past words and experiences that makes us,

who we are today.

 It's those, silly, nonsensical, things, that we remember!

And these boots, brought back one of those long forgotten memories.

I was young, little really.  But, I remember watching

my parents dance...in our living room!

My Father took my Mother for a swirl,

and then, it was life back to normal.

But I knew I wanted to learn how to

do the swirl and  "The Texas Two Step"!

And that's when my Father, showed me how to do it! 

"It's  the easiest step",  he said.

And I've never forgotten those, two little

Texas steps,

Step, step,...

The boots, are pure Cowboy!

I identify Cowboy and the boots, with Texas!

My Son now lives in Texas!

And for a kid who grew up in New York!

Well, I think, that's quiet, a Two Step!

Just an image, and word!

Maybe, that's all it takes!

Happy Mothers Day!

A Rose, by any other name...

Fill you day with, Love, Laughter and lots of hugs!

Happy Mothers Day!
