The Shed 17

Clarity? What's that? LOL
And where have you been young man?

a reply to: Night Star

How might a light shine in the night
wavering in the cold, shivering, alone
how might a bird fly
solemn through a listless sky?
The weight falls down, heavy
upon too-tired shoulders, it rests.

Hark: the lonesome dove cries
not of sorrow, not of pain,
but of life.
Singing his joy
making it his own.
So let the darkness
pass you by
close your doors up tight
you'll make it through all right

Have no fear, the battle is won,
for in your heart, there is light
focus on it, the voice of hope
when fear and doubt threaten to drown

a reply to: LucidWarrior

OMG, thank you so much Little Warrior! That was so beautiful and means the world to me! HUGS!

a reply to: Night Star

Hugs for you, Miss Star. Glad my words could bring some relief!

a reply to: Night Star

Clarity?
Well: you see.

I had a nice unexpected meditation this evening that help my brain sort things out somewhat. My next trick will be to talking the cats into moving so I can lay down and try to nap or sleep while dad has the tv blasting too loud.

Tell us about the meditation. Oh and, just gently move the kittys away so you have your space. They'll get it after a enough tries. LOL

When my head isn't foggy and I'm not distracted like a dragon when he sees something shiny, then I see.

a reply to: Night Star

Hey some dragons have learned to hate that little quirk of theirs, and have since mastered it! As for the fog, I know not any sure remedy, but here, for you: a star, to pin on your chest, which will shine a soft, warm light for when it gets too foggy

a reply to: LucidWarrior

Ah, so very touching. I shall wear it with honor.

For you and my fellow Sheddites...

a reply to: Night Star

Well the star I gave you doesn't have a cool name like earendil, but (shrug)

I think I speak for us all at the shed when I say that You are our most beloved star.

a reply to: LucidWarrior

Jeeez, now I'm teary eyed. I am touched. Truly!

a reply to: Night Star

Timely Dave and Lucid, Bahahaha!

***Trumpets***
(Sorry about that!)

It looks like... for the first time in about 10 days... the temperature (here in chilly Scotland) has crept up above freezing!
YAY!
But, as always... there is a cloud on this particular silver lining.... it's now grey, windy and p*ssing down with wintry rain!!!!

Ach well, whit kin ye dae?

Here's something that you might like...
My dear departed mum LOVED this time of year and really got into the "Christmas Spirit" with all of the tacky XMAS tat like flashing Santa earrings, Rudolph antlers or tinsel-covered hats. (I know.... I know....)

My immediate family don't usually swap gifts (apart from gifts for the kids!) - we all put money into a big "pot" instead and then have our own "Christmas Lottery" where we nominate our fave charities by writing their names on little slips of paper and drawing out a Winner to receive the money.
It's great fun and has become a bit of a tradition for us.

But... this Year (because mum is no longer with us) we decided to mix things up a bit in her honour!
So, we will be introducing the 1st Annual Grannie Vi Christmas Headgear Competition!
We all have to MAKE and wear our own Christmas headgear (anything goes, the more outlandish the better).
We then cast votes in an X-Factor styleeee to choose which is the best, and the winner gets to nominate which charity receives the "money pot" in honour of my mum!

It should be a hoot! and my mum would have loved it.



I shall TRY and remember to take photos!

Awww, Gordi, what a wonderful idea! I can't wait to see pics! Love the pic of your Mum! I have pics of my Mom and Dad with a red Rudolph nose or santa hats. I bring those out every year.

A little hair of the Dog. lol

I'll share.

Oh a cold beer would be great! But i fell asleep and just woke up feeling better! did you, fine people, guard my sleep or something? Happy to see new posts now as i am awake (sort of awake)

a reply to: Night Star

I don't usually get up at 430 in the morning but I did so today as I went to bed very early last night. The cats must have been reading what I was typing about them as when I turned around both of them have left the room already.

I'll share the story about the meditation later on today when I can see better.
