Decency. For very little effort it doesn't take a lot to be decent to people. The majority of us all are decent and honourable to our family and friends, but I am wondering has a complete stranger ever been decent to you in any way, or have you ever acted decently towards a complete stranger? Let me tell you about a memorable evening I had...
My car had broken down at night on a highway last year during the snow and freezing weather, and when the battery power was diminishing I had to wait on the side of road for help as it was much to dangerous to sit inside being that the hazard warning lights were no longer operating. I was jumping up and down to keep warm.
During what seemed an eternity before help arrived, a gentleman and his wee son stopped by the roadside to offer their assistance. They could see I was freezing cold despite my winter attire, so what did the gentleman do when I told him help would be there soon? Well, he took of his gloves and insisted that I took them to keep me warm. *smiles* I was so impressed, so I thanked him and his wee son before they left.
Impressed being the key word here.. that man showed his honour, his dignity, his respect and just how decent he was to a complete stranger so much that to this day I keep thinking back to just how kind he was.
I regret not getting his name.. as I would of sent a card in way of thanking him and keeping in touch. That sort of person is in the same caliber of all people known to me that I call real friends.

I left Mum to the airport yesterday to go stay with my brother in Spain for a while. The weather here is really too cold for her, and it is so worth it to keep her warm especially since she suffers from osteoporosis. Bless her wee heart :)

It's one of those never ending rainy days in Ireland, so nothing for it but to put a few turfs on and light the range settling down with hubby for the night. Maybe crack open a bottle of wine along with the chicken bang-bang that I am making for dinner tonight...

Watching, "independence day" out of the side of my eyes whilst writing this entry.. I love that movie and have watched it so many times I almost know the script! Hard to believe it was made in 1996, which is 15 years PLUS years ago. "ooops"

My husbands brother died today. Right now, I feel so numb.. so much death this month. So much pain for those I love. Just being here for all is the best I can do.. but I am not sure if that is enough...

I was free this afternoon to do a hour workout down at the gym being that my hospital appointments are actually tomorrow instead of today. Steve, as usual left me breathless, but thank jeebers he is there to push me to my limits! I really messed up my appointments, now I have to jiggle client appointments tomorrow to be where I have to go :(

Tomorrow will be a difficult day for me.. It's not often that I feel fear as it normally eludes me however; the events tomorrow concern me. Few know why, but it feels good to know I have friends here who do care. You know who you are, and thankyou for your recent support and just being there at a time you were needed the most Xx

I got a Swedish massage this morning by an Irish wimman! It felt like a feather had tickled my back. What a waste of money and time it really was so disappointing.
The camera was hot though, and I got some brilliant shots which I will upload here if I get time. I am away to London, UK tomorrow on business overnight although I wish I didn't have to go as I hate the landing back into Belfast again particularly in winter.

Hubby really is a eejit! He pretended to have mild tourettes in the dining room at breakfast this morning, and at first I was embarrassed when everyone stared but after a while I couldn't keep from giggling and had to leave. Now we are going back down to hotel dining room for dinner shortly so, I am thinking this is going to be interesting....

So, if I dress like a Goth..that makes me a Goth? Or if I dress like a yuppie, that makes me a yuppie? Or if I dress like the Preacher ..that makes me a preacher man?
I don't think so. I find it odd how some attach labels unto people. Maybe it is because they don't fit into a certain cliche they perceive and want to be part of. Maybe this is the reason.
I know for ninety-five percent of the time I don't dress Goth. It wouldn't fit with my business image, family or work if I did and living in a rather small rural community in Ireland, I just don't want to attract attention to myself.
We all are, who we are..on the inside. It is our hearts and minds that count and score us brownie points on the path of life, not our clothes. Life is what tailors and colours our minds and actions. I am happy that I am who I am, how things shaped up for me, and I am at peace with that, and my life.

This week, so far as been by far the most difficult of times. I am playing hooky off work, ducking clients when I can and helping my friend and her family as much as I can. Sometimes it is all about just being there.
Continually, I put those I care for in front of my own needs as their need is greater...it doesn't always work out well though as it makes rods for my own back. However, I take each blow and setback knowing I have done good for the ones I love the most. That is just who I am, and what I am about. My family, and true friends appreciate that.
Spa would be good though, oh so good.

The smell of incense created a poignant moment as if all time had stood still. That candid snap of the children bent double with pain and clutching on to their mother as they walked up the aisle, will stay in my mind forever.
Here I am Lord, Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night,
I will go Lord, if you lead me,
I will hold your people in my heart.
RIP Ian

The children's father read his Bible every day, and lit the Holy candle when he did. His book marker was on the last page of the Bible, and the candle was fully burned when he died with a massive heart attack. His funeral is tomorrow, and we will be there.

The children were naturally so sad to lose their Father, that it near broke my heart today when I went around to see them. Little Conal is only 10, and we practiced putting together a speech for him to read in Church about his Dad. Again, heart-wrenching..watching him poised like his Father dressed in his shirt, and wearing his shoes which were much too big. Funeral is on Sunday.

I was dissapointed in the Iron Lady movie. my reason for this is because they told the story from her dementia viewpoint which I thought was a bit naff.

I never bothered with a Coven, or Mentorship.. But I do have a Sci-Fi group, and I will shortly get around to honouring some members who have made a valid contribution towards the group.

Someone I knew died today. He used to be a friend with my husband and myself and went out on several social occassions. However, he double crossed us in a business deal and hammered his wife to the point of near death. Being stinking rich and a multi millionaire his monkey money bought his release which is a different more private story.
Now, I find myself confused. How could I feel sadness for a man so evil? I am in shock. He was so young, and no one expected this. My brain says to go gloat over his body in the coffin at the wake..and my heart is heavy with sadness. Conflict like this is hard to for me to manage.

I am sure there must be a word for someone who is friendly with you, but yet tries to hide it from others. I feel a long journal entry coming on.

I am enjoying myself on Vampire Rave tonight..the way it used to be. @smiles@ I had been lurking so long, that it made me so out of touch with some members! I was two years behind on one dear person, and one who I am honoured to call a friend. That's, the thing about true friendship you can pick up on the same vein you left off. Yes, I am very happy tonight that I found once again what I cherished so much about this site years ago :).

I wish I had Cancer's computer! chuckles You would be able to see into who are the anonymous people leaving honours in the negative. I could put it altogether, as it probably follows a pattern and involves a group of friends, but to be honest I haven't the time or indeed the will to do so.
We are leaving to go to England tomorrow as we had bad family news and yet another family member is dying :( We would rather see him alive then just over for the funeral when that happens.

In my humble opinion a roll of honour for members, could be more honourable... if anonymous negative points are to be applied, then the member doing that should be forced to leave a comment for their (dis)honour point to be valid. Makes sense? It's a haven for the backstabbers though the way it is!
