And the weird thing is that Stick (other fish called because of his lips - LIPstick) is now having a whale of a time after his pal has passed away (no pun intended). Maybe we should all look to other things in our lives and learn by them. I've been told fish have a five minute memory. So have I - wish the W had the same problem
I am there in spirit though maybe someday it will be physically -
That would be a great 180...Just up and come to South Africa!
Here is an encouraging thought for your day ~
"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. "
~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
May All Who Seek To Take My Life Be Put To Shame And Confusion; May All Who Desire My Ruin Be Turned Back In Disgrace. ~Psalm 40:14~
It sounds like things are really going good for you mac. I'm glad to see you not being down and enjoying the beauty of what life holds.

Thats what this board needs more of - encouragement!
I've proved a man of the cloth wrong in the past and I damn will do it aging. This time I'm not going to let my W slide into apathy (it's a town near Bloemfontain :-)
Serenity - sorry honey - you are going to have to be second prize - sure you'll understand - you are first prize for someone else! Any time you lot want to visit SA - shout and I'll pick you us at the airport!
Oh - stick is now doing very well now his chum has become a "flusher". Fish really do have a five minute memory! Will pick up a new friend for him/her on Monday. For now he/she can have all the garlic he/she likes without worrying what the other half might say
Second prize works since I see the same for you...You are number one for somebody else as well...
If I ever make it that way, you will be the first I call...
I know another guy in SA who visits my blog - Small world...First thought you and he were the same however he is divorced...
I hope you have a blessed and wonderful day!!
A good one - Bit long
Unknown May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand. May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
Teach love to those who hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the world. May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and whose have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than the form.
May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments. May you always feel loved.
May All Who Seek To Take My Life Be Put To Shame And Confusion; May All Who Desire My Ruin Be Turned Back In Disgrace. ~Psalm 40:14~
Oh nearly forgot!!!! (may have posted this as an upliftment in another post)
My Best Beloved HAS got a job. Pie - go-between's better half told me today. He works for another mutual friend who I haven't seen in weeks (same thing with Pie).
He tells me that he'll be surprised if my W isn't back in my arms within a couple of weeks from what he's picking up by talking to her!!!! And he'll do is level best with Guerilla Divorce Busting Tactics (thanks Michele!)
I would NEVER have known this unless the breakfast happened this morning. Someone up there is beaming down on us all.
Ah, Serenity - I hope you used "cut and paste" for the last post or do you I really mean that much to you for you to re-type it all? Only kidding!
