Yes, Karen that is one of my works that I wrote a few years back. Thank you for the compliment.

Stuart, that segment of Twain's book was fabulous, thank you and yes, I will see if I can find it at our library.
LOL I hope this is translated right Danke Stuart, Ihr ein hübscher ehrfürchtiger Kerl!

The fire in my heart is ceasing to blaze
And for some odd reason no one is amazed
A fire that once stood among a majority
Now just stands alone due to none priority
A fire that many have chosen to distinguish
Maybe due to the intensity of its anguish
Silence to the fire that was put out today

OMG! I just translated it back into English and that was not what I wanted to say. There is that "he" and "her" thing that Twain talked about in the Tale of the Fishwife. So in English, you are a great guy, thanks.

Hi Diana, It is beautiful...May I ask is "Distinguish" a typo as in "to  stand out in a crowd," or did you mean "extinguish," as in "to put out a fire?" I am assuming with the rest of the lines you meant extinguish.. but I thought I would ask, because I want to make sure I understand the verse properly!.. It is lovely!

Wow Diana I needed that motivation as I seem to be in a rut! I have been so up and down emotionally that my weight has suffered..I need to keep my nose down and just do it!. I am so glad for you that you are able to get so much excercise.. I wish I could to. I have been getting some walking in.. my activity decreased a lot after the mini stroke. So now I just have to stop being so scared of doing more..walking is really good for me so I need to do it. I am a bit nervous to walk in town.. or around here. So many strangers here lately. Any way Congratulations Diana you are doing fabulous!

It is cool you can use the gym. That is a benefit! I have eaten out since November and have gotten into bad habits again. So I have an oven again and need to get bake to using it like before!

BTW I love your Quote..It is very beautiful and sad.. Something that touches my heart.

who wrote it? Did you? Have a nice Day!

Carolyn you are also doing so well! When did you hit the 100 pound mark?

Monday....finally! [:)]  Stayed at 85 lbs. for what seemed like an eternity then I finally started losing again.  Since that last plateau I've averaged about a pound a day.

A pound a day is really fast weight loss. You must be working your tail off!

I haven't averaged a pound a day the entire time, only the last 20 days or so.  My average has been about 16 lbs. per month.

Hi Karen, no typo's. Distinguish is defined in my work as; distance: Both time and place; not being accepted with your own kind (human race) being an outcast for who you are. Touching to me is an extremely important feeling to me, physical touch is how I communicate to others (loved ones). Not being able to touch Paul for nearly a whole year was painful for me. I felt alone like nothing you can imagine. It is not so much "just" touching other people because unless there is a connection I don't do the whole feelly touchy thing but it is how I communicate with those close to me. So not being able to "connect" to those so close to me because of my "ways" I was distance so "not" to "offend" my emotions. In other words "don't ask don't tell." A very difficult time in my life where I had to decide to be what others wanted me to be and fight with myself the rest of my life or do what was natural for me and be myself not bothered by how people perceived me, so I'm weird AND? Now the other half (whew) anguish: The pain within yourself. A fire burning deep inside that no matter what always burned and never went out. I was fighting within myself a war. One that where if one won the battle the other died and if the other won was dead to the world. Does that make sense because if not I will try to express it differently. Or I can try again. I was waging with war inside because I wanted to be me however, the other side of me wanted to be like other people wanted me to be so, if I took one I was lying to myself and of course the other option was not to be who I really was. I hope this helps, Diana

It was only the one word the whole thing is beautiful and you expressed yourself beautifully as well as clearly... I just did not want to misinterpret that one word. I like the way you said it! I understand it and have been there and felt the very same thing.. Thanks Diana .. don't change a thing! It is perfect!

Carolyn.. I still have mine too! Its just considerably smaller these days! LOL!

Good morning everyone! Hope you had a good day yesterday. I have been lacking on the exercises this week  [:-\] It seems at the first of the week I am pumped to get started and by mid week I am exhausted from "getting" things done around here. I eat healthy, 3 meals and 3 snacks so it is not hunger, my doc says that my sugar is at its best so not really sure what is going on. I think I just need some real rest.

Yeah I think I have been going through the same thing. As much as I hate being away from the children at school I am noticing I am feeling more rested and some better. Bored but feeling some better.

Hello Everyone! Not to happy this morning  [:(]. I called the insurance people and they are still telling me the accident I had in April is still my fault. I am completely confused with this, I was in the PROCESS of making a left turn when a cyclist (motor) passed me on my left side and broadsided me on the front left side of our 4Runner. Now in the states I know that passing on the left no matter what is illegal, it really bothers me that this is going on my record. I have NEVER had an accident go ON my record before. I'm frustrated! This is NOT my fault, sometimes I wished I was still in the states where I know I will be treated fairly. Take care everyone, Diana

Here in California it is illegal to pass to the right at any time! I am sorry it is still an issue for you.. laws are so different everywhere! Sorry Diana!

Hi Neil! According to the German police a "witness" the one who was riding with the man who hit me said I had on my right blinker although I was in the process of making a left turn. I know I had on my left blinker, so when they read the report from Paul it did not state that he saw the left blinker on and that was because he was a passenger. It is all so wrong and so frustrating. They have made their finale decision unless I persue it even more which the adjuster said that the man could sue the insurance company (they gave him an advance payment already), me, and Paul if we take it to High Court (German court). So I am leaving it alone and accept what happened. My insurance has already gone up and Paul wants to persue it which I say just leave it alone.
