Thankful Thursday - 8 December

                                                                       stuff.co.nz

  

On December 03 2011, a 5.7 earthquake shook Wellington New Zealand. 

It was scary. This was the first time stuff fell off my shelves and my son and I ran under the doorway.

So Thankful that we are all safe and that the damage in Wellington was minimal and no one was hurt.

The suburb I live in is probably the safest place to be in Wellington. So Thankful I was at home with my son.

So Thankful that my daughter is safe.

My mother was on her way home from the temple, so Thankful she got home safe.

And then this morning we had another shake 4.2. So Thankful that again we are all safe.

Be safe this holiday season wherever you are.

Warm Regards

Haiku - Space, Malice, My Life in Verse

Haiku Heights   -   Space

Vast, Invisible
Secret mystical frontier
Space, barren quiet? 



















Poetry Picnic #16  -  My Life in free verse

Adventure and fun
Easy, sometimes difficult
Silent and noisy


Lonely heart yet smiles
Lives in this moment of time
Awaits The soulmate


Give love and be loved
Understand relationships
Happy Memories


Laughter and sadness
Carving my own destiny
Fulfilling soul's quest


Spiritual love
Abundance of Divine Grace
Peace and contentment



Sensational Haiku Wednesday  -  Malice

Goodwill trusted friend
Often felled by spitefulness;
Oh Malice, begone.

To those who host and select

GBE2 - Truth

"This above all to thine own self be true" ~ William Shakespeare

This was a favourite saying of my dad's so in honouring Shakespeare and my dad ...

The truth is that I've been completely negligent of this wonderful "your blog is great" award that was given to my blog by Kate at Mommy Growing Up

Thanks so much for the award Kate. I am so honoured to receive it.

And here it is.

To accept this award I must:
1.  Tell 7 things about myself
2.  Pass the award onto to 15 others.

So here are 7 things about myself:

1.  I love desserts
2.  I am caffeine sensitive - that means I can't have anything that has high levels of caffeine.
     (probably a good thing)
3.  Suzy was a nickname I had in school that I now use for my blogs.
4.  I love Indian, Chinese and Italian food
5.  I love puzzles particularly number and logic puzzles
6.  I would love to visit Rome again
7.  I collect trinket boxes. (my collection some of it anyway)

And if you would like to know 7 other things about me check out my post on my Photos are Fun blog.

And keeping in with the truth - I struggle to find 15 blogs as I have already awarded most of the blogs I follow other awards but I'll try and award some anyway. Here are blogs I enjoy reading in no particular order:

Word Nerd Speaks
World Heritage Site
Dawn Treader's Picture Book
MillerWrites
The Paddock
Thoughts of Beauty in the Stillness of Dawn

Please check out these blogs as they are great!

And as I start following more blogs, I'll update this list and get to the magic number of 15.

To those I've awarded, please accept this award and if you can award others, please do so, but you don't have to.


Warm Regards
