POST HOLIDAY RE-RUN: Jillian Hart

IF I COULD WAKE UP DREAMING

Ms. Jillian B. Hart

He will forever be the one that got away.  The one that slipped through her fingers.  The thing that movies are made about and that words are helpless to describe.  The emotion that has to be felt to be known.  Felt to be understood - and feeling it, only leaves the soul hungry for more.  

A love that was so right - it was almost incomprehensible and seemingly was always just within their reach.  The awe of it being unnerving, until it became unattainable.  She didn’t find someone that she love that much only to let it go.  She held onto it.  Even all those years that he was gone, all those years her life went on, knowing the love never left her.  The memory of it dwelled within the fibers of her being.  It became part of who she was and she was never quite the same.  It always existed, locked away in her heart like a box with a missing key. 

LUNCH TIME POLL

POST HOLIDAY RE-RUN

 

 

Today's Lunch Time Poll is more of a "topic" then a "question"...
Can an innocent flirtation be healthy?

According to one law firm, over 20 percent of new divorce petitions contain references to Facebook.

Which is more forgivable an emotional affair, a sexual affair, or a one night stand?

Can a relationship truly recover from any of the above?

The new trend in some relationships seem to be steering bored or broken marriages, or long term relationships,  to be "open". Is it even a marriage anymore once that step has been taken?

How many people in this world of social networking have had this happen to them or a "friend"?

POST HOLIDAY RE-RUN

Marion Pellicano Ambrose

I don’t know why, but I’m really into reading about psychics, past lives, and other new

age subjects lately. I’ve read Lives of the Rich and Famous (Sylvia Browne), Many

Lives, Many Masters (Brian Weiss), Another Door Opens (Jeffrey Wands) and various

books on Edgar Cayce and other fascinating people involved with this realm. These

books seem to place me into a kind of “dream world” where gemstones, crystals and

candles can give me control over my destiny. No matter how many I read, I can never

keep up with the flood of new books on the topic, coming out each day. I check my

horoscope and do my daily Tarot reading on Face book every day. Why are people, like

myself, so terribly interested in this sort of thing?

SOUL FOOD

Barbara Ward-Finneran

Adapt, adjust and choose to overcome. Confront what you fear or what makes you uncomfortable. 

You can't escape those challenges but you can use them as a catalyst to drive you forward. 

Find the lessons and leap into your future -  stronger then you've ever been!

Keep the promises that you make to yourself!

ANSWERED PRAYERS FOR EASTER

MANY MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO OFFERED PRAYERS FOR MARION'S INTENTIONS 
FOR HER SON,  JOE!!

It is with great joy I write to tell our readers that Governor Scott has just become Saint Rick to the "Pellicano Ambrose Family"! Because of his intervention, Marion's son has his Social Security back, but that’s only part of the story!  Marion's conclusion to Mother's Anguish will run next week with full details.  

Having personally dealt with the Social Security Administration for my own son since 2003 and for my husband for the past five years... having had numerous issues and problems to appeal, fix and over turn, I know that it often feels like the wheels of progress  in this arena practically turn in reverse. The speed at which this re-establishment of benefits is nothing short of a prayer induced "miracle"!   

SUNDAY TRIVIA

DID YOU KNOW........

Crocodiles swallow stones to help them dive deeper.

More money is printed daily for the Monopoly game than by the U.S. Treasury.

A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.

Bingo is the name of the dog on the Cracker Jack box.

The slogan on New Hampshire license plates is 'Live Free or Die'. These license plates are manufactured by prisoners in the state prison in Concord.

The longest U.S. highway is route 6 starting in Cape Cod, Massachusetts going through 14 states, and ending in Bishop, California.

No matter its size or thickness, no piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times. 

(Go find some paper, you know you want to try!)

If you can see a rainbow you must have your back to the sun. If you don't, you can't see it.

The bat on the Bacardi symbol is there because the soil where the sugar cane grows is fertile from the excessive guano (bat droppings.)

Coffee is generally roasted between 400F and 425F. The longer it is roasted, the darker the roast. Roasting time is usually from ten to twenty minutes.
