It will be a good “warpath” though; meaning I am planning on getting a lot done. Yesterday was a pretty good day and today will be even better.

The only thing holding me back today is that I have a little problem with my allergies. I don’t have this problem very often, but I have it now. I guess that’s why it gets me down so much. I don’t have to deal with it very often and when I do it puts the hurt on me. My main problem is that I don’t breathe well, so I don’t sleep well and I feel tired. But I am going to push through it all, take my medicine and make the most of my day.

We did have the teacher’s conference yesterday. One of the main things in the whole deal is the niece just does not put forth enough effort to do really well. We need to stay on her more, but she just rebels against that. We will have to strike a happy medium in this deal. She has also started to notice boys and while she vehemently denied it her teachers knows. That’s a bit disturbing. I don’t mean about the boys. It’s just denying the facts when we know what the facts are. The pool old girl just does not know when to shut up and she does not know when to fight the good battle. I fear these are things that are going to hurt her throughout her life. We have tried very hard to instill some good values in her, but she’s the product of a messed up home filled with drugs and other bad stuff. We got her too late I fear. But we will love her and give her a good home. We can work through all the rest of the stuff.

It is cold this morning. The temperature will dip below freezing. Hang on plants. I have some plants that might be affected. We will see. There will be a gradual warmup over the next week. We do have a few chances of rain by the weekend and into early next week.

So I am up and getting ready to take on my day. I still have my early week at work to contend with; well, it’s the bosses but I just might take his place all week. I am not feeling the best, but that will change once I get out and about. I am ready to take it all on.

Proem: Well, once more I leave you, the reader, a small piece of poetry that I have concocted for your pleasure or, I hope, your delight, to my loving eyes it shines bright; its beauty a forgone conclusion in the vision of this beholder. In your minds eye however, who could know? So please, do forgive me if it is not your fare, I am but a lowly poetaster that would be remiss to make comparison of my words and their power to move you, to works of those dear departed souls that have blown you away with poetry -Cliff Pyke

“The Book”
By Cliff Pyke

As I brush the dust from your faded cover
I remember you were once my jaded lover
that I took to bed with me
now as I hold you in my hands again I think,
you took me time and again to the brink
within your strange and distant lands
As I visit once again your fragile pages
that have become so yellowed with the ages
I’ll remember loving you until the end
then saying my thoughtful goodbyes

To think, I once judged you by your cover
yet still somehow took you for my lover
for a night or two of wakeful dreams
until I finished reading through
then I fell asleep with you
in my dreamy head, within my lonely bed
surely then you did become
my one well written friend

Now as I hold you here in my hands
as I look at you once more and think
I caress you again in tender need,
Of your strange and distant sands
this night I linger here my friend
and hunger for much the same
to fall asleep with you my dear,
In dreams your whispered name

I thought that a good laugh may be a good start to the new year. I posted this on my BlogSire blog and it got a pretty good response so I thought I would share it with my Communati mates. 

Men strike back!

Another year gone and I have survived to live another one. I want to wish everyone at Communati a happy and prosperouse new year. I hope that your wishes are fulfilled and that this year will be better than the last one.

hey boss, I like the new theme, it’s good to see you are always hard at it. I hope that Caommunati becomes the best communiti blog in the CyberLand because it deserves to be as we have the talent and the best ever admin.

This is the time of year when everyone assesses what they’ve done in 2007 and lists their plans for 2008. I’m no exception, and yet I don’t really believe in making New Year’s resolutions. That’s because I find it hard to buy into the notion that the passage of time between midnight on Dec 31st one year and 1 minute past midnight on January 1st in the next year is suddenly going to change me.

I’m more of a realist and I know that making several resolutions is likely to paralyse me into inaction. (That gut feeling has been borne out by recent research in the UK that shows that people who make a single resolution are more likely to keep it than those who make dozens.)

In addition, I believe that you can make changes at any point during the year - you just have to be ready to do it. So instead of making resolutions, I have a list of things I’d like to achieve during the year. Some of these are personal goals, like sticking to a fitness program (something I started in October), while others are professional, to do with growing my writing business.

I’m not making a big song and dance about them, because that won’t help me to keep them. Instead, I will make a list, stick it up on the notice board in my office, and keep it as a reminder of my plans. I accept that plans and priorities will change, but I think that’s the best way for me to achieve measurable change in 2008. So that’s my two cents’ worth. What are your goals for the next year - and will you be using New Year’s resolutions as a call to action?

I stepped up the update schedule because of some of personal things I need to take care of. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the new theme. Comments welcome.

Yesterday my youngest daughter returned home from a visit with her mother. It was a rough 9 days with out her in the house. Me and my other daughter did have a lot of fun doing things for “Older kids” but you could tell that we both missed her very much.
My oldest brother and his children are in town and the plan was I was going to hang out with her at my mothers until the kids went to bed and then go home so I could get up early in the morning and go to work. This seamed like a good plan because she would be asleep then wake up with her cousins. But, when she realized I was going to leave she grabbed a hold of me and would not let me go. I asked her what she wanted to do, she replied, “Go with you.”
I said, “That means you are going to have to get up at 5:00 am with me.”
Her responce, “I want to sleep with you.”

So of course we went back home plopped in bed and put a movie on. While we were watching the movie she sat up kissed my head and said, “Daddy, I missed you so much I cried.”

MY KIDS ARE GREAT!!!!

My Oldest daughter is really mad at me now. I have told her that she is not allowed to get a tattoo. This would be fine except her mother who she has met 2 times since she was 21 months old and both times have been in the past year said she would take her to get one. I have told my daughter that she can get a tattoo when a few things are met:

1st - she has to understand that the Tattoo will have meaning. Of course that led to a conversation about my tattoo - http://druworld.blogspot.com/2007/12/tattoo-to-heal.html
2nd - She has to have the Tattoo design for two years and after the two years is up she must still want it.
and of course 3rd - since she is only 11 she has to wait 17 years before she can get a design.

Am asking to much? I just can’t believe this woman that gave birth to her is that ignorant to think that it is okay for her to tell this girl, that was not in her life for 9 years, that she can get a tattoo.
