Amazing Song!

So love this version...















Namaste.

Tired of It Already...

I am so tired of the political season...
I am so irritated at the list that I have to chose from in a few weeks...


You see, I am an Independent.
I don't affiliate with either joke of a party.


I wait until we get down to the final ballet and then I start researching and finding out the facts.
I don't listen to the political ads.
I don't watch the debates.
I don't want to be entertained, I want to be informed.


I will vote.
It is my duty as an American.


Unfortunately this year, I'll be voting for the lesser of the two evils...
Once I figure out who that is anyway.


Namaste.


**This was written as many of you were being entertained by the joke of a debate.
**Writing this and getting caught up on some blogging was my alternative entertainment.

Amazement

I am so in love with three little men who I call my grandsons.


Never have I ever felt the love that I feel for them.


I am constantly amazed by how they are growing and developing into their own unique personalities.
To hear "Me love you Nana" or "MY NANA" or see the baby's eyes just light up when he sees me...
Yeah, I am truly blessed...


And I won't let idiots who live by labels change any of that!


Namaste.

Unexpected Goodbye...

When I was small, I had a void in my life...
I had no Dad.

There a man who had a void in his life...
He had two sons, but no daughter.

The two voids met and became "step family" by law.

When a judge eliminated the "step" - sheer will, stubbornness and love kept the "family".

I was blessed to have my dad for 36 years. 23 of them by our choice.

It has been 19 days since I got the call.
It has been 10 days since I said goodbye.

I am only now able to write this without sobbing.

I guess it is only fitting in my mind that I write this on an airplane as that is what I was boarding when I found out.
Then I had to get on two more planes to get back home. 

I shed a lot of tears on those flights.

And I still mourn.
And I still love.
And now I have a hole in my heart like none that I have ever experienced.

But I know my dad is still alive as he lives on in my memories and the impact that he had on my life.

He taught me that a child could be born in my heart and not in my belly.
He taught me that I shouldn't let anyone else dictate who my family is. 
He taught me that blood is not thicker than water and it does not take a piece of paper to "make it real".

I love you Dad.
I hope your dancing...

Namaste.

Always Remembering

Namaste.
