How To Enjoy Life At Age 50 (Article) - 6/17/2013 5:49:12 AM
I'm a little older than that and you've given me some ideas that I should be pursuing. I must caution you about the 50s though. At that age, children who have lost their jobs may come home to roost. Women at that age tend to have problems with their emotions during menopause. You also recommend early retirement. A former secretary of mine, after working 35 years had reached the requirement for retirement through our pension plan. She retired to have fun with her mother, who she had lived with all her life. A year after she retired, her mother died, hitting her hard. She tried to come back and work for the University like so many others had, but was unable to do so. She died last week at 57. Ron

Life Is Wonderful (Article) - 6/14/2013 2:25:54 AM
Yes, a Christ focused life can be wonderful. That is if we are drive to be close to Him. Jesus makes a huge impact in my life. He gives me meaning. He gives me hope and he gives me love and many Fruits of the Spirit. These Fruits give me faith that life is worth living. Without Him I would be as lost as a chicken without a head running around a circle. With Him I can experience Miracles life never before. He hS opened my eyes so I can see, hear and feel His presence. What a JOY it is to have Christ. He is truly everything. Amen.

Give Me A Kiss And A Hug Then You Can Go (Poetry) - 11/16/2013 2:46:26 PM
Why is it that we seem to remember old loves with the tenderness we wished we could receive right now? I guess we should always try to remember the good things about a relationship, trying to forget the bad. I really like this Shirley, you did a great job of showing us your heart and feelings, which is not always an easy thing to do. Keep up the wonderful writing! Joy L. Hale

Oh yes, I am definitely feeling this one. Some many people feel this way but don't know how to truly express it. I love the way that you worded this, kudos to you indeed. Once again, thank you for sharing a very simple but, powerful work of art.

The Perfect Love (Poetry) - 10/26/2013 5:18:56 PM
Beautiful indeed. Oh how we long for other people to love us unconditionally, for who we are and not for who other people deem or want us to be. True love pursues with total intent to gain that which it is in pursuit of. Very well written, simple but straight forward. Thank you for sharing...

The Perfect Love (Poetry) - 8/18/2013 11:15:21 AM

Dear Shirley, A great message. As we all need quiet alone time. More today than ever before because there are so many electronic distractions. You ask the Lord and you got it. Yours in the love and eternal blessings from our Lord Jesus Christ, John Michael Domino

I Want My Alone Time (Poetry) - 6/29/2013 9:48:59 AM
Some of us want alone time with that special one, and some of us just want to be alone with our thoughts, and, in my case, my writing. Fortunately, I have no children and can get time alone easily. Ron

I'm with gin. There's nothing like a smooth martini with a candlelight dinner. Makes me wish I was there, enjoying it with you. Ron

A Candlelight Dinner (Poetry) - 6/17/2013 5:07:06 AM
Ah yes. There is something magical about candle light, dinner, and gin(?). Next time try a bottle of wine. It's smoother. It even makes your lover look and sound smooth. :)

If You Were Mines (Poetry) - 6/14/2013 8:51:29 AM
