If i was one thing i'd be a candle

lighting the way so you can handle

your lifeeasier without woes

not having to fight with your foes

I'd help keep you from stumbling over

things blocking your path to an open door

If i light your way, life is easier

Even strong winds, my light will not deter

No matter what, i'm here for you

To cheer you up when you are blue

Do not fret when things get tough

if things look down or kind of rough

Just remember i'm always here

In your heart, close and near

I'll help you out in every way

Happiness and love in your heart will stay

Don't blow me out, thats one request

Unless it's me you do detest

I do not try to hurt anyone

 that isn't good  or any fun

One day you may leave me behind

no longer need my light to shine

If that day comes, go on your way

I'll hope to see you again one day

If one day i don't appear

Do not worry, do not fear

I may be gone but in your heart

The light i gave you did not depart

It will be there for ever and a day

To always bring happiness  and light your way

Farewell for now, i'm needed elsewhere

If your path grows dark ,in your heart, i'm there

So i'm not really gone just can't be seen

I would not leave, i'm not that mean

Only one simple request  that i must say

Never forget those who lit your way 

Bah Humbugggggg  !

Do you know what's important about finding a place,

Somewhere in time where your mind can unlace,

Where the beauty of visiting slows down the pace,

And the senses are exposed to a sharp 'about face' 

The point is well taken and called introspect,

A world all in harmony that is picture perfect,

A place drawn from visions like those seen as a kid,

Images that are breathtaking appear enchanted.

Nature and beauty that are right on the track,

Bring on the feeling...take up the slack,

Slow down the real world from inside the mind,

And reflect in the pleasure of eternal time.

It takes just one visit to want to go back,

To a place where there's safty and not an attack,

Enjoying the moment and the feeling within,

Your life becomes peaceful and all genuine.

Worry and mind games and thinking too much,

Results in much clutter when used as a crutch,

Learn how to wind down and calm down instead,

Develop the eyes in the back of your head.

That place we all search for should be easy to find,

It's created from images within our own mind,

Meditate on this vision and reside in that place,

A feeling of comfort ... Pressure Erased

Where's all me mates ?   Ohhh you have no idea what i have been through ... no pooter for three whole weeks, i missed doing my christmas blog and everyfink .. is it too late to do one now...how did you cope without my usual rants of  .... what do you mean it's too late now ... better late than never i say ...

Everything Happens for a reason, nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.  If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart forgive them, for they have helped you to learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and your eyes to things you would never have seen  or felt without them.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

hug a loved one.....don't hold a grudge
.....don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry"
.....look a child in the eye and tell them how great they are
.....don't kill that spider in your house,
       he's just lost so show him the way out
.....look beyond the face of a person into their heart
.....make a promise and keep it
.....call someone, for no other reason than to say "Hi"
.....show kindness to an animal
.....stand up for what you believe in
.....smell the rain, feel the breeze, listen to the wind
.....use all your senses to their fullest
.....And cherish all your TODAYS. 

That's that then ... all over for another year... Noooooo it's not fair, i think Halloween should be a proper holiday... at least a week.. time off work (not that i have to worry about that right now ..pmsl) and lots more celebrations, one night's not enough ... FFS it's the only time people look at me and think i'm normal !  What do you all recon ... should we start a petition ??? Answers on a postcard please.

ALL HALLOWS EVE ... My favourite day of the year.. feck Christmas, this is the biggie .. It is said that on this day the disembodied spirits of all those who died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year, it was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living.

Naturally the living would not want to be posessed so on the night of October 31st the villagers would put out all the fires in their homes to make them cold and undesirable.They would then dress up in all manor of ghoulish costumes and noisily parade around the neighbourhood being as destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess.

Of course me being Shroomy and this being MY day i welcome all the sweet little children to my door (yeah right) ...i have a carved (perfectly) pumpkin lit up in my window where Roger likes to sit and watch all the little darlings as they come to my door .... 'HAUNTED HOUSE' it says on the wall outside.... i have my couldron on the front porch and my broomstick parked up ready to go ... go where i hear you say ... anywhere i damn well please, wouldn't you if you had your very own state of the art broomstick ?

Bless their little hearts... if any little darlings make it through this lot and actually knock on my door ...... well let's just say they are greeted warmly with gifts of sweeties by Shroomy dressed to perfection in her best gown of velvet , flowing cloak and pointed hat ... they don't understand ... it's just a game ...i will wait until they are all safely tucked up in bed before i go out ...

Over all there hung a shadow and a fear,

A sense of mystery the spirit daunted,

And said as plain as a whisper in the ear,

"THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED" 

Here he is doing his best pose bless his little heart ... oh and before you say anything the living room is RED not Pink ... don't even go there !  There's certain times that Roger comes alive ... i do have proof of this ... Ask  Star !  Now you don't have to believe me but Roger has been known to dance and smile and once i even saw him poke his tongue out which was quite a shock as i didn't  know he had one ! 

What a little darlin' ... here he is cutting Star's grass for her, he is a really helpful little fella, he never minds giving a hand !

Time to relax with a coffee after all his hard work !

Practising to be a Hells angel on Lee's bike...

Don't drink and drive Roger ... tut tut tut !

At home there's nothing Roger enjoys more than having a nice relaxing Jacuzzi  bless him !

Or catching a few rays on a hot sunny day !

So ... There you go ... now you have met Roger, keep your eye on him... you never know what he will get up to next !

25th December 1936 - 6th September 2006

I can't believe it's a year since you were taken away from us Dad, i miss you so much, there's not a day that passes that i don't think of you. I know you are watching over me though, i can almost hear you saying 'what do you think you are doing with your life, sort yourself out' and i AM trying, it's hard though without you, you were always there for me to give me advise... even if i didn't always take it, you know me ... your little rebel ... some things never change eh ?  I'm trying really hard to keep myself together, i know you would be cross with me if i didn't, 'Pull yourself together and get on with it'  that's exactly what you would say !  You were always a bit of a toughie but i always knew how much you loved us all. Life is short... how many times have i heard that but i really didn't realise how short it was till you were taken away, you were far too young and you was always so fit too, i thought you would live to be a really old man, like grandad. It was too soon Dad, you didn't even get to retire and enjoy your life... life is so unfair. yeah yeah yeah i know 'stop your wingeing'

I love you Dad
