Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

Thanks so much.
I'm well and truly bummed out tonight, but I do believe that things happen for a reason.
It just seems like I have had my fair share of "things" happen already. ~sigh~
Thanks for hearing me out, everyone. The venting does help a whole lot.

A friend is (among other things) someone you can yell at about stuff that's other peoples' fault, and who will then offer you a cuppa and a kleenex.
It will get better than you wish, sooner than you expect.

It seems to me you've had more than your fair share of things too. I hope it's almost over...

ABC's Extreme Home Makeover tonight was about a family with a soldier (I didn't catch what branch) who lost a leg in Iraq. They not only rebuilt his house to be more accommodating for him (taking out levels, etc.), they paid to have him fitted with a new prosthetic leg (he walked without pain and without crutches), and arranged to have his wife's Master's in Social Work paid for. She plans to work with families in similar situations.
It was a tearjerker.
Sometimes, the mediots get it right.

I hope it's almost over...Me too, sis. It's been quite a roller coaster ride lately.
I just keep looking up and saying "Lord, I know you're trying to guide me, but can you please put it in a fortune cookie or sumthin'? I can't seem to figure it out this way!"

Good for them! I'll refrain from saying the next nasty thing about TV I think of. That's clearly more than they had to do.

I saw the last 10 minutes of the show and blubbered like a baby.
It was well done and more than well deserved.

Yeah... something to remember when you pray for things like, oh, patience. Or perseverance. Or whatever, because sometimes you don't like how it comes.

I know this doesn't help, but selfishly I can't but think I'd welcome the day when "Ruthy Day" replaces "Corin Day" in the lexicon.
It ~will~ get better Ruthy. Until it does, just come here to vent as often as you need.
You have my axe.

Oh, Bless her little heart, and foot! Hope she gets better really soon. Is she not able to get around on that foot right now?
