Happy Saturday everyone!!!
Don't you ever feel like this lone turtle? Looking lost with no where to go? Yeah, me too! Just not today. I'm feeling quite feisty this morning, and not the least like this turtle. However the photo captures me all the same. Maybe I secretly wish to be running down the length of the beach, headed straight for the ocean..... That must be it!!
Now the next thing I wanna rant about, I may lose friends over. I want to be heard though since I've been asked and not really replied yet. I'm talking about the proposed American Healthcare situation. Y'know, us Canuckers have it made!! We don't have to worry about paying at the doctors or hospitals to be seen. We get immediate service and care. All the complaining about wait times, pales in comparison to not having coverage at all. Americans really don't know what they're missing, but let me tell you, when they get free Healthcare, you will see the change in the people. I know there is a great debate about how good it will be for the Americans. Oh my goodness, how can you kick a gift-horse in the mouth?! Someone actually wants to help take care of you!!! If you want more services than what's provided, you have the option of paying for better, but free Healthcare you dare say no to?! I just don't get it! Seems mildly retarded to me to say no. I mean, epidemics everywhere and you wanna say no to Free Healthcare!! Really?????
Okay, I got it all out. Hopefully I don't lose any readers or friends over this. The 3 of you I have are quite valuable at this point. The rest of you should be ashamed you haven't joined my site and shown support for a friend.... (Okay, I'm teasing you here.) But you could join.... :-)

My friend sent me this joke, so I thought I would share it with you all.

Nudist
A man moves into a nudist colony. He receives a letter from his grandmother asking him to send her a current photo of himself in his new location. Too embarrassed to let her know that he lives in a nudist colony, he cuts a photo in half and mails it. The next day he discovers that he had accidentally sent the bottom half of the photo. He's really worried but then remembers how bad his grandmother's eyesight is, and hopes she won't notice.

A few weeks later, he receives a letter from his Grandmother. It says: "Thank you for the picture. Change your hairstyle... it makes your nose look too short."


Love, Grandma

Wow! I can't believe what a day I'm having. Its been one of them days, where when I woke I knew we were already off to a bad start. You ever have them days?? Where you wish you could crawl right back where you came from, and yet, you're not really sure why. That's exactly how I feel today. Pathetic isn't it?! I should be bubbly and optimistic everyday! If anyone has a secret other than some religious practice, or strange ritual then let me know. I gotta conquer this!!! I really hate those days when I feel this somber, yet, I get get inspiration to write darker poetry. That's the positive I'll take!! See blabbing on a blog really works!! I just sorted my own feelings out right in front of you!! Wow! Yep, Wow! Thanks!

Okay, so I didn't run off and write some deep dark poem. I actually felt better and sat down with my trusty Bic pen and pad of paper and this is what came out. Literally 10 minutes of my time, and I feel elated again. I should feel morose more often, I think it's my muse. I hope you enjoy the read. Remember plagiarism is a crime! ;-)

WHAT POETRY IS TO ME

Poetry lives within us all
You have to find your niche
Maybe a word about something small
Can make your heart wish
Find a muse in a person or pet
Beautiful place, or when someone sings
You'd be amazed at what comes out
When you write of lovely things
See, writing poetry does for me
What the sun does for a rainy day
It makes my heart fill with glee
And I'm happy in every way.

Now that I read it back, I think I should work in a card company writing cheesy jingles...... what a thought!
