I had some interesting mail as a result of the “Two points of view” post yesterday. I should hasten to add that it was just my quirky sense of humor raising it’s head. While I occasionally need to secure my buttons more tightly (Thank goodness I didn’t write about marbles), I have NEVER spent the evening with a smear of ketchup on my chin! *G*

At least, that’s what I WANT to be saying.
I know that Mother Nature has just given us a teaser. I have no doubt that we will return to the deep freeze for a while yet. Last year, March was a miserable month. Yet, it’s supposed to be in the fifties for the next few days, and we are all ready to celebrate the warm weather.

In her mind……
She rose and walked slowly to the hall. He’d been watching her all evening as she worked. Every now and then she’d look up and catch his eyes on her. She’d found it difficult to focus on her work, thinking instead what they could be doing just down the hall….on the couch….on the floor….
She unbuttoned her sweater, slipped it from her shoulders, and caught it with the tips of her fingers. She looked over her shoulder, inviting him to follow, and then leisurely sauntered down the hallway.

Things that need to be turned upside down now and then:
1. The compost pile
2. A shampoo bottle
3. Toasters
4. A mattress
5. An hour glass
6. Keyboards
7. Relationships

Angie, my never-ending source of on-line fun, sent me this address: http://www.frontiernet.net/~cdm/age1.html and you should go visit.

I’m in a damned rut! My sense of humor has gone missing. Mother has always said I didn’t have a sense of humor, and now I can’t find it to prove to her that I have one.
I didn’t notice it was missing until I started reading some really funny blogs, and all my responses sound like someone’s ready-to-retire HomeEc teacher.
Is a sense of humor related to hormones? I’m willing to consider HRT if it will give me back my sense of humor.

Do you have an alternate existance in your mind? A place where you can see yourself living your life, other than your current reality?
I suppose we all do. Zephraim Cochrane, in Star Trek “First Contact” saw himself on a beach in Polynesia surrounded by naked women. Dear Husband dreams of boats and sailing around the world.

Yeah……I’m having a sick day.
It doesn’t happen very often. I’ve had my flu shot, but it seems I’m going through a mild case of it any way. Thank God for flu shots! I got to spend the day bundled up in an extra sweater and a quilt, and the cat held me down. Thank God for cats!

I’ve missed my on-line family! It seems that it’s my style to go for a few days between posting, so I really appreciate those of you who take the time to visit, to see if I’ve been around. Some days I get to browse through blogs, and other days I choose to write instead. I envy those of you who get to do both.

God and I have very informal talks. There are times when I have the opportunity to hear a new pastor speak and I am overwhelmed by the quality of his prayers. I think….”I WISH I could put my thoughts into phrases that have such a lovely sound.”
Usually my prayers are apologies for my shortcomings, and pleas for help to be a stronger, better person. Sometimes they are a litany of the woes in my life. Occasionally they ask for help for friends and family, and some times they are the simple formulas we learned as children…..”Now I lay me down to sleep….”
I trust that God will forgive me for my shortcomings in the quality prayer department, because I’m sure that he knows they are heartfelt and sincere. I hope God has a sense of humor, because the prayer that frequently flits through my brain is “Dear God, please give me patience, NOW!”
