Melancholy

"The water of the fountain ran, the swift river ran, the day ran into evening, so much life in the city ran into death according to rule, time and tide waited for no man, the rats were sleeping close together in their dark holes again, the Fancy Ball was lighted up at supper, all things ran their course." ~Charles Dickens-A Tale Of Two Cities. However, it could also be NYC today at Christmas. It just amazes me some times that we can only be nice to each other at one time a year, and even that seems to be a stretch these days. Sad.

  1. You did it, ds (or is it Captain Jack?)! Congratulations!! :) Good to see you here! I almost thought I was in my own house for a min. there. Same frames, TV, etc. Freaky. lol

    My daughter has "Jam On It" as one of her ringtone. Can't help but think of you whenever I hear it.

    Regarding your post, you're so right. Kindness is a rare find these days, but it only takes a few good people and a smile to keep me going. You're on my good people list...always will be. Thanks for being an amigo.

    Cheers y besos, Moi

  3. Lulu-Thanks helping me see that I really need to spend more time on things that I am passionate about. You are a great friend and love ya always!! Jam on it, and on it......lol

    Lynn-I'm a babe in the woods, at least when it comes to "blogging". I didn't realize I even had Lulu's house until I walked into it. However, I love the smell of pasta and I hear the biking is good. :-) Please join us and share any stories, poetry, or journal entries that you would like to discuss.
