Journal Page

Just a page from my journal. Her title is: "In My Life." Because in her life she can be who she wants to be, go where she wants to go,  and do what she wants to do.



Oh the night is here
I'm finding my way to you
In this starry night


I have been counting syllables but I found this great website that does the count for me. I'm being lazy but it's a big help. I am really liking Haiku. I just wonder why I couldn't understand it in my English classes. My instructor would be proud of how I am learning this wonderful world of expression.  http://howmanysyllables.com   


Tomorrow I plan on cutting my hair a little, putting color on it, re-take pictures of my paintings for Fine Art America with the 14 megapixel camera and re-uploading them.  Then I need to download all the 2011 pictures from my computer  to a DVD. I also plan on making reservations for an outing for hubbers and me. Our anniversary is coming up on Feb. 14 so I want to be sure we can get in ahead of time.


Okay I will see you on Friday, unless I'm back before that. tee hee. Have a great Tuesday and thank you very much for stopping by and leaving comments on my wee blog. It always means a lot. Take care.

My New Revolver Ball 10/19/11

(Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
