Hope everyone had a great weekend! Ours was not so bad...Saturday was a rainy day...we didn't got to walk...Sunday we went to church, it was a windy day but we made it to church. They had a special orchestra for that day! It was great...Serene was dancing for the music....
The church is 3 blocks away from where we live..and only 20 members...
I enjoy being there, Suzanne, don't laugh... still am trying to learn about the church and their prayer.......I'll sing with them finding the pages...i don't know more than that...
Serene quit taking a nap during the day! so mommy don't have anytime to sit down and talk to friends!!!
If am in the kitchen washing dishes or cooking my baby will go and open the medicine cabinet and open all the bottles and decorate the floor! Thanks God! She don't taste anything....She just want to rub it in her hands and hair... :) I don't know where she got that from...yesterday she got some lotion and rub it all over her hair....it is so funny, when i ask her what is in her hair, she explain me so many things and even say a story about "bow bow (dog) and meow (cat)!!!
Night I have to sing for her, not the songs i like, songs she like....she will tell me the name and i have to sing...
Hope everyone having a good day!
Bindi, I love you. I've been dealing all day with homeless issues, so have huge old tears in my eyes. I went to my blog and saw you and exhaled. You make me a better person. I don't know how, but you do. I didn't read your post, but will. I just want you to know you matter so much in my life. Yes, tears are running down my face now! Bindi, some times life doesn't make sense. It just doesn't. Does it?
ReplyDeleteWhen ever I start to cry T-Bone comes to me. Isn't that beautiful. He's here as I'm trying to type this. Which of course makes me cry harder. God, why can't life be easy and beautiful? Why?
You know what I wish? I wish I knew decades ago what I know now. I have probably a few decades left, but if I'd known earlier what I know now, perhaps I could have made a difference. I'm not so sure now. Time seems so short.
I know you don't need this on top of everything else you're dealing with, but somehow conveying it to you matters. You're so very wise and you always seem to know what to say. Others seem to breeze through life without a care, but I struggle with it. I see and feel too much and I never know how to turn it off. So I agonize. I know you know. I'm finally getting well and you would think I would be so happy, but I deal with the homeless at the park and my ferals and my heart is always breaking. Perhaps you have the answer because I don't.
I love you.
Suzanne
Dear Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteHow sweet T-bone is! He love you and don't want you to be sad.. He is talking to you the way he knows!..
I wish I can do some magic and make you feel better but there is no magical words...being kind and trying to help the needy ones, is in your heart...
I have been working for acorn and part of my work, been to so many people..homeless, addicts and almost all different situations... first it was a shock for me, I never thought America have homeless ones!
there are a lot of grants and helping non profits but the money is not utilizing the right way..most of the time its not getting into the needy ones.
This is so sad to see a developed nation, especially America is not taking care of its people.
Suzanne, you are so kind and hard to ignore people who need your help..Try to do whatever you can..
My family till to this day feed at least one homeless a day.
I wish I can do something to end this hunger and homelessness...
Suzanne, please be happy about what you are doing right now, that means a lot to them. And God bless you to give the opportunity to help others.
For being there for the ones need you, please take good care of you..
love you a lot.
I don't know my words help you..
I got to get this stinker...she is running around me and crying "she want some milk"...that is a trick to get my attention.
Love you and ((hugs))
bindi
Hi Bindi,
ReplyDeleteI hope things are well, and I hope Serene enjoyed her milk. We got home safely from our trip, and tomorrow it is back to work for me. I hope you have a nice week, and are able to enjoy many walks.
And Suzanne,
I'm glad you are feeling better.
Hugs to you both,
Cecile
Hi Sweetie,
ReplyDeleteI'm awake early this morning because I fell asleep in the early evening. I decided rather than lay in bed trying to get back to sleep, I'd just get up and start the day. So here I sit!
I read your post. You made me laugh of course. Glad to see you're still going to church! That is too funny. And I'm sorry to hear Serene has stopped napping. That's not funny. Oh you poor thing. How are you going to find time for you? Serene sounds like a handful! I love that she put cream in her hair, but I imagine it was difficult to get out! :)
There's a computer virus going around and we're all being told not to open any email with the word "postcard." Just keep that in mind, okay. Sorry your computer got sick. :(
Bindi, check in on my blog this morning. I'm going to try to get a new post up and running with some info I think you'll enjoy. One blogger is a writer from Texas and has a wonderful idea, the other is a mom who lost one of her kids. You'll see. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you sweetie for all your love, encouragement, support and wisdom. I came here earlier in absolute agony after doing research on a homeless issue and somehow just being here helped. I actually just sat for a long time staring at your blog without writing a word. And I wasn't going to write because I didn't want to burden you. But all those little hearts made me realize I was here for a reason. Like you, I have so much on my mind all the time and it can become overwhelming. It's nice to know you understand me and that you're arms are always open. I am going to try to do as Peter suggested and take care of me so that I'm here for the animals and people I care about. I don't do that you know. After nearly seeing death with this illness, I want to make some changes (I had/still have the flu). I certainly have to take care of things I've neglected, I want to walk more (mostly because I think it's how I'll find Ireland!), I want to finish projects around the house and yard, I want to move my career in the direction it needs to go, I want to take time every day to meditate or at least relax (I never do) and most importantly, I want to learn to reduce stress in my life. That's a hard one. I don't know how realistic it is, but I'm going to try.
I have thought about a non profit for years. Funny you suggested it! I've done all my reasearch and have saved gobs and gobs of information. You're right, it would be perfect for me and with the right partners and staff we would make sure the money went exactly where needed. I'll tell you what holds me back, I'm an artist. If I started a non profit how would I find time to paint? However, I have a brilliant idea I'll share with you via email. He'll never read this far, so I'll tuck it right here. I haven't responded to your emails because I don't know when to do so. What's a good time? Day? Let me know, okay. And thank you so much for your emails. I love them. I also love that you feel comfortable enough to talk to me. Cecile and I love you know. We want you to be happy and safe.
I hope you and Serene are having a beatiful morning. It's almost time to feed the kitties here so I have to boogie if I'm going to get my new post up. Thank you for everything you do to inspire and encourage me. I love you very, very much and I'm grateful you're in my life. One more thing. You're right, T-Bone is precious and I'm grateful for him too.
Have a beautiful day.
Much love, Suzanne
p.s. Cecile, you're the best. Love you to death. Welcome home and have an enjoyable work week!
Dear Cecile,
ReplyDeleteAm glad to know you had a good time with your family..

bindi
Dear Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteI am surprised to know you already thought about a Non profit!!!
If I made you laugh by being in the church, am so happy for that...it is not easy to forget all about the harsh life and smile! I laugh for silly things..that make my spirit going...
Serene, Serene, yes she is a handful..want mamma all the time but I love being there for her...her innocent face and love is the only beauty of my life! off course I will get tied of one after another..but if am not busy, I'll be thinking and crying for what am missing in life!
I'll write you soon
Take care
I ♥ you ((hugs))
bindi
Kill that bug!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely that you sing for Serene, I used to so enjoy singing nursery rhymes with my boys when they were small. x
I really hate this kind of bug...
ReplyDeleteHopefully your comp. is well now.
I see you like going to church and your little, sweet Serene feels good being among this kind of aura.
"Put everything to the test. Hold on to what is good" - apostle Paul said.
Love and happiness be always with you and your family!
Akelamalu,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy singing for her too...she is learning my language too..by songs!
take care
♥
bindi

Good Morning Dear Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteSomeone was watching movies in the computer and my baby girl crying..not real one...she just want to hold her..silly girl :)
I ask her "what baby?
She says "I am crying"
Me; "why you crying?
Serene; "am crying for mamma"
We had a good walk but it was too windy.. Serene taking a nap in my hand :)
Have a beautiful day...
♥ & ((hugs))

Dear Cielo,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by...

Am happy to know you like the blog bar...

Hi you dear girl. Yes, of course I considered a non profit. I'm always thinking dear one. Always! I still think it's a brilliant idea. I just have to get my ducks in a row. You know what I mean? I'll email you with my brilliant idea when I have a few minutes. It really is a keeper. I just have to sell this house and find the right place. You'll see. I'm serious too.
ReplyDeleteSerene is such a cutie. She loves her mommy. I can understand why. I know it's hard on you at times, but I also know you're up to the challenge. Hang in there, okay? And Bindi, I know one day you will be home with your family and happy once again. Everything will work out. You'll see. All of this will be a memory.
I love you.
XO Suzanne
