My yellow Story
HEADs: YELLOWGrowing up, we looked forward to Christmas, not just our presents but our Christmas outfit for church. That would become our main church clothes for the following year. One Christmas I got a yellow dress, with yellow sandals, yellow hairbands and a yellow bag. I loved the bag. By the end of the following year I had had enough of yellow for years to come. I can gladly say that I have made peace with the colour yellow and have to yellow tops in my wardrobe.
Wearing Yellow - Cheerful and Happy
Yellow is the perfect color to wear whenever your spirits needs an uplift.
Yellow carries the same healing qualities associated with the sun. It offers warmth, optimism, and light. All shades of yellows and golds will cheer you up and help make you feel happier. Wearing yellow out into the world makes an affirmation statement. For certain, yellow is a perky color!
Realize no single color is entirely "off-limits" due to your coloring. It often depends on the hue, color make-up and so on of the garment. You might look horrible in a mustard but radiant in a pastel yellow, for instance.
Psychology Yellow
It is associated with the intellectual side of the mind, and the expression of thoughts. It therefore aids the powers of discernment and dis-crimination, memory and clear thinking, decision making and good judgment. It also helps good organization, assimilation of new ideas, and the ability to see different points of view. It builds self-confidence and encourages an optimistic attitude. Conversely, dull yellow can be the colour of fear

In Five Years Time
Funny how I found such exercises a whole easier to do when I was younger and at the beginning of my marriage.
In five years time I will be on the verge of entering my roaring 40's.
I envision myself as fit and healthy. Approaching my 15th Wedding anniversary.
My daughter will be officially a 13 year old teenager.
Country of residence - unknown
Career /Job - unknown
Religion - probably unchanged (LOL)
Accomplished?
My life-long dream of visiting France.
Started writing a book.
........ that is what comes to mind so far............

Monday crazy questions
Monday Crazy Questions
1. Do you have a tattoo...?? if so What and where is it??
if not do you have a secret desire to have one?
Nope - Sort of - a butterfly well placed maybe.......
2. You have been offered a free botox treatment...where do you have them put it?
Absolutely no idea - probably would not take it - give it away to a friend if I can.
3. Do you have a good luck charm? what is it? Do you think it works?
Nah - don't have one
4. When was the last time that you said something to someone that you REALLY wished you hadn't said?
Hard to say..... because I mainly communicate via e-mail - I sent an e-mail two weeks ago I wish I did not pass on.
5. The bath water is running, the phone is ringing, the dog is barking and there is someone at the door.....what do you do?
Ignore the phone, close the water and answer the door - unless I am already undressed, then I would ignore the door too.
6. Your best friend from high school just popped in from out of town. do you offer them a place to stay or suggest a hotel?
Definitely offer them a place to stay.
7. Have you ever seen a ghost?
Nope
8. Someone is driving in front of you rather erratically and slowing you way down...now you see that they are talking on a cell phone and checking themselves out in the mirror. The other lane is blocked off so you can not go around them. What do you do??
Patiently wait for an opportunity to pass - hooting could just make the situation worse.

Whose looking through the Window?
Window Views
Who are these characters? Can you guess where I took these photos?
Not the best photo's I have taken - found it very difficult to capture what I saw and didn't have a lot time to do so either. Only had my new camera - Canon 450D a few Days.

“We shall neither fail nor falter; we shall not weaken or tire...give us the tools and we will finish the job.”
Winston Churchill
But lo! men have become the tools of their tools. Henry David Thoreau

USING THE TOOLS AT YOUR DISPOSAL:
just a tool
By darkone735 on Thursday, April 12, 2007my mind has gone blank,
my understanding has been lost,
i cannot understand what is happening,
something is new that plays me for a fool,
i feel like such a tool,
hideing what i am,
letting them eat away at my soul,
using me for what they want,
takeing what they need,
emotions are gone,
something has gone wrong,
trying to stay strong,
my heart is dead,
cant feel what i used to be,
its been hiding inside of me,
loseing control,
fighting the feeling,
fighting the dark side of my mind,
yelling at myself to keep control,
wishing theyd stop doing this to me,
i just want to be me.

Audley castle/Window Views
Window Views
Hosted by Mary : http://windowviews2.blogspot.com/
We went geocaching in this area. unfortunately we did not find the cache even with the use of the GPS on my husband's phone. It also starting raining so I feet in particular got really wet and uncomfortable.
But we had a nice drive, stopped off for hot drinks and scones at Paddy's Barn on our way home, we saw another part of Northern Ireland and I got my Window views - so a good Sunday Afternoon out.
Wikipedia:

E-mail to my brother
Hi Ash
Weiers was in Wales last week. The germany trip only comes up in August.
I didn't do my drivers license test - broke down in tears. Weiers passed his yesterday.
Saw the doctor and gynae this week - changing anti-depressants and going onto progesterone (I have had a period for 4 months!!). His sending another pap-smear in to check that nothing has changed since last December (when I hadn't had a period for almost 5 months).........
So at the moment I am UP and DOWN. But I am also blessed with people who care and are praying for me.
Very busy doing stuff for the church and I am preaching this Sabbath - Weiers couldn't find a speaker so it was either me or video (he does not have one he wants to show). Its been good for me spiritually to focus on that instead of feel sorry for myself. Experience has taught me that its better for me engage God through service while things are churning around me.
