This is a true story of Mother’ s Sacrifice during the Japan Earthquake. After t...he Earthquake had subsided, when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman’s house, they saw her dead body through the cracks. But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt on her knees like a person was worshiping; her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supporting by an object. The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head. With so many difficulties, the leader of the rescuer team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to reach the woman’s body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive. However, the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure. He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reasons, the team leader was driven by a compelling force to go back to the ruin house of the dead woman. Again, he knelt down and used his had through the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement,” A child! There is a child! “ The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3 months old little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother’ s dead body. Obviously, the woman had made an ultimate sacrifice for saving her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up. The medical doctor came quickly to exam the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell phone inside the blanket. There was a text message on the screen. It said ,” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” This cell phone was passing around from one hand to another. Every body that read the message wept. ” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” Such is the mother’ s love for her child!! Dont forget to click the share button..

20 Adult Truths
I found this gem this morning from a friend of mine...I loved it so much I had to share!!
1. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. They really need to have a sarcasm font.
... ... 5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.
13. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
14. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.
15. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
16. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
17. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
18. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
19. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.
20. There's a reason some women have a bumper sticker saying, "I have PMS & a hand gun!" Do we really need to know more?

seeds of change...
seeds of change.
the words are borrowed.
but the idea is real and true within us all.
we have the power to affect change.
to make a difference.
the question becomes do you?
do we plant the seeds?
do we foster the growth needed to change?
what is it that we are trying to change?
i speak these words in reference to not political change.
not world change.
oh how i wish that i possessed the proper words for that though.
however...
this is not the time.
this is the place.
but not today.
the seeds of change i choose to speak of tonight.
are the seeds in which we plant in one another.
the older that i get i become more aware of the seeds that others plant in me.
ha that made me laugh.
it sounds as if i am harvesting babies or something like that.
but that is not the point.
i am talking about the seeds of growth.
personal growth.
change.
beauty.
i am blessed in my life to be surrounded by a group of beautiful individuals.
they are all so different.
yet all very much the same.
in that they have enviable spirits, lights and energy.
i love you all in different ways.
thank you for fostering change in me.
for those of you who have known me for many years know that for a long time i had hardened edges,
i was not soft.
i am always and have been deeply sensitive.
but you might not have known.
i do not know the days in which the walls went up.
it was sometime after my father passed away.
but it happened.
i built walls.
and you have knocked them down.
i know that some of it has been through meeting my mostly companion.
he fosters gentleness and femininity in my that i forgot i had.
he makes me feel like a girl.
not that my biology hasn't made always feel like a girl.
but like a girly girl i suppose.
soft.
sweet.
my other "soul farmer"
is my lovah.
ha so not a lovah in the traditional sense.
i scoured my brain for the right nickname to protect her identity...
and could think of this name...lovah.
its the name we call each other.
if you know the SNL skit.
its the best.
simply fantastic.
if you don't.
i am saddened for you.
ha just thinking about it makes me laugh.
ok so back to my lovah.
she is the one who's words "seeds of change" i have borrowed.
she is a remarkable woman.
she is my soul sister.
we are kindred souls.
one spirit.
two bodies.
together forever since the moment we met.
she is my hero.
these are things she does not know.
she does not know the extent of her own spirit.
her own influence.
she has talents in so many ways.
a heart of gold.
a heart of sunshine and rainbows.
glitter and unicorns.
lovah is a dancer.
that was how we joined together.
she was the grace.
i was the power.
we were all the things the other was not.
together the perfect pair.
although i no longer dance...
i built pieces on her.
watching her dance sets my soul a flame.
she is special.
she is kind.
she seeks to foster growth in our future.
in children.
she sees their light.
she makes it bright.
she is a healer.
she heals me.
when days are dark.
her voice brings solace to me.
she is far.
too far to touch.
but not to feel.
she makes me a better person.
she has stood by me in my darkest days.
stood there when i was wrong.
waited for me to be right.
said nothing.
but let me learn my lessons on my own.
yet was always there to pick me up and dust me off when i fell down.
i have done this a lot in all the years of our friendship.
and yet she has always been there.
to push me to be better.
now that i am better and i am thriving.
i can say thank you.
i don't know that i ever properly have said it.
friends come and go...
but sisters are forever.
and she is my sister.
without her.
i would be lost.
maybe even forgotten.
not to you.
but to myself.
she always knew how to knock down my walls.
through movement.
when she danced with me.
i was free.
i was safe.
she is like magic to me.
she is like pixie dust.
she sparkles in the sun.
she dances in the rain.
so before i cry.
silly girl tears.
this is for her...
if i was beautiful like you
oh the things i would do
those not so blessed would be crying out murder
i'd just laugh and get away with it too
like you do.
if i was beautiful like you
i would never be at fault
i'd walk in the rain between the raindrops
bringing traffic to a halt.
but that would never be
that would never never be
cause i'm not beautiful like you
i'm beautiful like me
beautiful like me
if i was beautiful like you
i's be quick to assume
they'd do anything to please me why not
i see their reaction when you walk into the room.
but that would never be
that would never never be
cause i'm not beautiful like you.
i'm beautiful like me
beautiful like me
beautiful like me
like me
if i was beautiful like you
i'd have so many friends
all fighting for my time to be next in line
so if i hurt one i wouldn't have to make amends.
but that would never be
that would never never be
cause i'm not beautiful like you
i'm not beautiful like you
i'm not beautiful like you
i'm beautiful like me
beautiful like me
i'm beautiful like me
i'm beautiful like me.
thank you for always making me see the beauty in myself.

lovely-ness
so in light of yesterdays post...
i thought i would write again.
i think i should write a little more.
talk a little less.
well considering that i am more or less alone talking a little less means nothing because i am actually speaking to no one.
ha.
funny how that works.
that the moment we decide to listen more are the moments in which we sit in silence and can reflect.
i wish as though i felt that the words and utter nonsense that i mutter through here meant something.
and served a greater purpose.
but i am here simply to express.
my thoughts.
my feelings.
my loves.
my fears (yes i have them - snakes are at the top of the list) - not that it means anything but its just a bit of me.
as i sit here i am trying to come up with something witty to entertain you all for the day.
or maybe trick myself into getting in to the habit of writing more often.
i miss it.
whether it misses me i do not know.
nor do i care.
i draw blanks.
nothing to write.
i am thinking however about putting up some of my poetry.
not sure if it would be of interest to you my reader.
my friend.
oh well.
maybe as the day progresses i will find something dashingly witty to dazzle you with.
until then happy friday.
go ducks.
and...

A Reflection of Sorts
so i sat down to write a post this evening with an idea in mind.
as i begun to write...
i lost my train of thought.
i know not what to say.
what to think.
as the first rain of the fall fell.
i cannot wait.
sweaters, boots and scarves oh my.
i look forward to the warm in which fall congures up in my soul.
i look forward to what the fall holds.
as the days go on i have been reflecting upon things in my life a little differently.
1st and foremost my little lady is become just that.
a beautifully stunning soul of a creature.
she is special.
she is kind.
she is bright.
and lovely.
not that i am not always a proud momma.
but after tonight at her schools function and watching her and listening to her speak and interact with her friends.
I AM PROUD.
i sit here now watching her do her homework - talking to her self being all wrapped up in the things she is doing and it fills my soul with delight.
and with that i could go on and on and on and on and on...and on.
so i will move on.
i feel as though at this very place in my life i have taken to sitting back and watching.
that could be because i am all layed up with an injury...
or just because it is presently my time to observe.
to watch.
to feel.
to reflect.
in reflection.
i see.
i see life changing.
good friends, old friends, new friends, acquaintances.
all changing.
weddings.
engagements.
babies.
its all upon us.
well not me.
not directly.
i am not engaged.
married.
or with child. (thank goodness)
that's not to say i wouldn't enjoy that someday.
but one step at time.
i did it all backwards once.
and the older i get the more traditional in that regard i am.
but in reflection of these changes.
beautiful changes.
i reflect on my relationships.
with friends.
with family.
and with my mostly companion.
as i rapidly approach thirty.
yes thirty.
i said it.
and i am embracing it with open arms.
i would like to say thankfully that i have learned so much about myself.
finally.
friends.
so fabulous.
each one.
in their different ways.
so special.
i am blessed.
i would like to give a special thank you to each one but i need not bore you.
just know i thank you and i think you are fantastic.
i am a better person for knowing each and everyone of you.
some of my relationships with friends seem to be on a fading light.
and that's ok.
life changes.
it ebbs and it flows.
you will always have a special place.
safe in my heart.
some of my friendships have caught like wildfire.
in ways i cannot explain.
there is one in particular.
i feel i must share.
this friend and i met under not super outstanding circumstances.
but she was a friend of my mostly companions.
when i was introduced to this lovely lady i knew she had a light that i really gravitated towards.
she was something different.
something special.
she is affectionately known as neighbs.
she wasn't always known as that but this was what she has grown to be not only in the physical sense.
but in so many ways.
her heart is my neighbors heart.
i believe that she and i are kindred spirits of sorts.
she has very recently seem to find her path.
not that she didn't know it before but things seem to be falling into place.
please do not misunderstand.
this woman is put together.
she has things handled.
let me just say that every time that i am with her i feel my light shine.
she brings it out the light in others that they cannot always see within themselves.
i have chosen to write about her this evening because i don't know if she sees the beauty she possesses.
so i took it upon myself to share her light with the world.
i love you neighbs.
thank you for making me a better person.
you inspire.
thank you for being you.
i am proud of things that you are accomplishing.
you are a tremendously fantastic creature.
words are not enough.
on to the next.
i guess at this point i must admit to my reflection upon my relationship with my mostly companion.
do not fret my friends.
the reflection has been positive.
let me first say.
i love love love my mostly companion.
as people around me get engaged.
get married.
buy homes.
get pregnant.
have children.
change.
around us.
i am in love.
i cannot wait to change with him.
through all of our trials and tribulations.
and believe me we have had our share.
something has changed.
and changed for the better.
it is a special place.
a magical place.
a place i never dreamed of being.
yes.
i will admit it.
i have met the person that i want to share the rest of my life with.
as i reread that it sounds as though we are newly together.
we are on our fifth year together.
five years.
we have ten more months til the of the fifth year (the anniversary)
but we work on our fifth year daily.
i enjoy him.
just recently we have put together a rather large and challenging puzzle.
and it was amazing.
i watch him with my daughter.
amazing.
i laugh with him.
amazing.
he is special to me.
i cannot imagine spending my days with another.
shall i say it...
yes.
i want to marry him.
i want him to want to marry me.
i cannot wait for that day.
when he asks me to be his wife.
and i get to walk down the aisle to him.
so i suppose before i get lost in love.
i will offer up my congratulations to all of my friends, new and old, acquaintances.
who are going through change.
life is beautiful.
please always continue to embrace it.
i am blessed and thankful to know you all.
thank you for sharing your world with mine.
Happy Reading!!

get married.
buy homes.
get pregnant.
have children.
change.
around us.
i am in love.
i cannot wait to change with him.
through all of our trials and tribulations.
and believe me we have had our share.
something has changed.
and changed for the better.
it is a special place.
a magical place.
a place i never dreamed of being.
yes.
i will admit it.
i have met the person that i want to share the rest of my life with.
as i reread that it sounds as though we are newly together.
we are on our fifth year together.
five years.
we have ten more months til the of the fifth year (the anniversary)
but we work on our fifth year daily.
i enjoy him.
just recently we have put together a rather large and challenging puzzle.
and it was amazing.
i watch him with my daughter.
amazing.
i laugh with him.
amazing.
he is special to me.
i cannot imagine spending my days with another.
shall i say it...
yes.
i want to marry him.
i want him to want to marry me.
i cannot wait for that day.
when he asks me to be his wife.
and i get to walk down the aisle to him.
so i suppose before i get lost in love.
i will offer up my congratulations to all of my friends, new and old, acquaintances.
who are going through change.
life is beautiful.
please always continue to embrace it.
i am blessed and thankful to know you all.
thank you for sharing your world with mine.
Happy Reading!!
