This week is the week of "Yes, I can!"
Next week I'll ponder next week.
Self-confidence ebbs and flows, as naturally as the sea's own predetermined course. In man's case, however, there's more an air of uncertainty in pattern from day to day. Earth's impounded waters are strictly regulated by external forces; the rise and fall of man's liquid center is imponderable and chaotic, figuratively speaking.
And physiologically?

I've been thinking about love, and how difficult it is to find, and when you do, the other person may not reciprocate and by the time they do reciprocate, your feelings have waned and you're ready to move on. It's a shame. Serendipity (25 April 2007)
Regarding a diary of many years past ...

Hi Coco,
Thank you for your kind words, i had a wonderful time at the Jazz Club , it was small and very intimate.
What you say about change resonates with me. I heard that the difference between an impulsive person and one is that is not, is that the latter over manages opportunity; this is so true.
I have just been speaking to a friend who is moving to Australia with her husband and children, her attitude is, she wants to give it a try and is prepared to embrace the challenge, such a positive attitude is wonderful. She is along with her husband, making a new life for thier children and accepting that she can affect her destiny. I have even been invited there, to see them!!
Hope you are well my friend; take care
Regards David
I also wish you luck in your changes David. I hope you find what you have been looking for and can at last be satisfied.
Dear Journal,
Today I am sitting in a quiet house, listening to thunder make music outside my walls. My children are warm and safe in their beds. They have everything they want and need. Their dad and I have good, satisfying jobs to provide for them. They have a beautiful, safe home to live in. And I am grateful for it all.
Yet, how easily this peace can be shattered. One careless decision, one thoughtless act could ruin it all.
How easily we forget what we have to search for what isn't real. When life is running smoothly, why must we cause tidal waves to tip the boat of life over? Why do we listen to those who don't care what effect their words will have?
Listen to those who love us, and have loved us through the roller coaster of life.
Ignore those who want to cause strife and division in our life. They have used the same songs, the same stories, the same false connections on others, and will continue to do so. They somehow enjoy the damage they cause. Enjoy seeing how they can effect a person in a difficult situation.
Appreciate the life you have. It may not be perfect but it is yours, and no one should try to take it away.
Dear journal
'Beginning of a new year log' 2009
It's bright and sunny here, but flippin' cold!
Life at the moment feels settled, but something's not right, an unsettled undercurrent. I guess my life could then be described as upside down as usually, the undercurrent is calm whilst the surface is in chaos.
Got to find what's going wrong...
Cara Mia's owner has returned. I fetched him this afternoon at our international airport.
The dingo-lady had only recently taken to conjuring up a mournful, low-pitched howl, suggesting her acute sense of loneliness, a pining for her too-long-dog-gone master.
I could never hope to fill Master's K-9s.
Woof!

Hope you're happy to have your home back.
As ever ... YES!
had to get up early this morning as the gas people are coming to check the heating system. 8.45 feels like the middle of the night to me - I should still be in bed! I hope they arrive soon then I won't have to work too late tonight.
its another sunny but very cold day. We might get snow later, it already has on the nearby hills but it looks like it just missed us. Both kittys are sitting in the window watching 'breakfast' fly past - their desires will remain unfulfilled - for now at least!
