  doof -- it works on slugs like me. I leave everything I'm dying to do until the end of the day and then I don't care. My friend couldn't complete her book -- she'd dilly-dally'd for few yrs. with it and I gave her the tippy-poo and it worked. I've not been successful w/method (it did get me off my butt to organize my closet) yet but I will try. Guess I need more intense therapy for slugs.

  BabYaga -- you can google my friend's book --- it's Homer the Helicopter. I'm so proud of her and she's not signed up w/an agent but is going to head out to Vegas and I'll have a book signing for her. I think a couple of book stores at airports (I'm not sure).

  Here's to a great day and happy moonbeams!

  Wishing to be removed from the paltry cares and anxieties of existence upon this orb I call home, I have sojourned to another dimension through a portal ever at my disposal ...

  My imagination.

  My imagination has been nourished by tales told and written long ago: stories of love and courage; adventures upon the high seas; dramas played out in the courts of kings. They have wound their way to the stacks of the libraries of the world.

  A book in hand is the gateway to yet undiscovered worlds....

  As a child that hid in the library. I learned my refuge was in books and my imagination.

  I remember at age 5 looking at the cinder blocks of the old Hall in The City and finding paterns . Later, in another old hall, that still had windows , watching the clouds go by and finding solace. By then I learned to leave and go somewere outside my self amoung the stars.

  Maybe its a blessing, maybe its a curse. For now I can 'leave' very easily. The Doc says it's ADD. I say it's a coping mechinism.

  Dear Eva Luna:

  Thank you for your touching commentary on our mutual "coping mechanism." No need for drugs, IMHO.

  Please return ...

  Love,

  Abused children develop fantasy thinking at a greater than normal rate. It helps to disassociate. I certainly did.

  Thank God for it.

  A bump to this touching thread.

  Here's hoping it takes off a la Through a Darkened Pane.

  Thank you, dear ladies BOTR and Snowbird.

  As you already know, Syl, I see that house everyday. Here's hoping I return there ... somehow ... someday....

  Late to the party, just finished my evening cup of cocoa, tonight with a touch of cinnamon (which is very good for you - I try to incorporate cinnamon whenever feasible).

  Sorry I missed this thread previously - better late than never, eh? Sweet dreams, CoCo.

  I knew I'd see you here soon! Thanks for stopping by and reminding me to take my daily cinnamon.

  Sweet dreams to you also!
