I am so glad that things are wonderful for you. Nice to stop by and I did not know I was not following you anymore. When I had all that trouble with google/friends/followers it somehow dropped people following me and me following people so I will see how to fix it. I am sorry as I was unaware. I enjoy your blog so enjoy following.HEALTH NUT WANNABEE MOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091372418641843957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636548.post-60158419279981944752009-04-04T21:04:00.000-05:002009-04-04T21:04:00.000-05:00You remind me of my 8 years of night shift. . . . ...You remind me of my 8 years of night shift. . . . I averaged 5 hours a night. . . it is to easy to do all the stuff you need to do rather than sleep . . .<BR/>I have joined classmate, facebook, myspace. . . . I honestly have a very hard time getting into any of them.<BR/>My mother used to keep me up on all the people I cared about from high school. . . . I've seen a lot of them over the last few years because of my many trips home. . . I guess now that I don't have her any more that getting contact will be much more important as it is with you. . . <BR/>CiaoSicilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478918266290454362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636548.post-16650183229733101132009-04-04T19:39:00.000-05:002009-04-04T19:39:00.000-05:00I'm reading a book by a contemporary Irish writer ...I'm reading a book by a contemporary Irish writer who was rather famous here and over there a few years back, with a book at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list in 2004. Never heard of her then. Don't read the NY Times very often. Got her book at the dollar store, thinking I'd give it to my mother. Then something urged me to read it, in case it had parts that might offend Mom. Sure enough, it does...but it really is a great book otherwise, and so today I googled the author's name to find out more about her. I was shocked to learn she had died 11 months ago, at age 68, of cancer. Your last paragraph of this blog entry is quite similar to something she said in her last interview. Now, I'm not saying you're getting ready to kick the bucket, John; I'm just saying you, like this woman before she died, have found what is truly precious in life. I hope and pray for you that your life is long and continues to be productive in so many ways, all of them holy, even the humourous stuff and even when you luxuriate in just being lazy. I hope and pray that for everyone I encounter; because if we could all taste enough of heaven on earth, what grateful, joyful children of God we could be.
