“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.” - Mary Anne Radmacher
Do you know these days when you just feel clumsy and of no use and nothing at work goes (or went) as it should? Well, this is mine today.
Maybe I should go to bed.
Introduced, cool-season, perennial, erect, sometimes decumbent herb, 30–100 cm tal. Stems are purplish, spreading prostrate in lower parts, rooting at nodes and hairy (but not glandular-hairy). Leaves are lanceolate or narrow-ovate, 3–12 cm long, much longer than broad, hairless or slightly hairy on veins and prominently veined. Flowerheads are corymbs with crowded heads 5–6 mm wide. Involucral bracts are 2-seriate, hairy and green to purplish. Florets are all tubular and white. Flowering is in winter and spring. A native of central America, it grows in disturbed damp sites, often in or near rainforest.
When I converted from my Nikon to the Olympus EM-5, I did so wholesale. I gave up the excellent 70-200 f/2.8, the very lovely 35mm f/1.8 and a serviceable, but sometimes challenging Tamron SP90 f/2.8 Macro.
In exchange, I got a smaller, lighter body, and a very excellent 12-40 f/2.8 lens (roughly similar to 18-60 on my old Nikon). Overall, I've been happy with the transition; certainly my shoulders have been.
But there are days where I wish I still had that collection of lenses. A 60mm macro is going to be in my future, I think. The bees deserve to look as good in pictures as they do in reality!

This kind of says it all for me right now. I don't often say too much about my personal life but I am really struggling with this and it will pretty much effect the future.
Last week I was diagnosed as having Chronic Invasive Lung disease, in late stages. I have been really unwell all year but this came as a big shock. I am really very unwell right now and I have to say very scared.
Waiting to see the consultant again on August 1st and until then I do not know the prognosis but it doesn't feel good to me as in recent days I have been coughing up blood and am in the most unbearable pain. Even posing my dollies hurts and it is making me feel so sad as they give me so much pleasure.
Anyway, just saying as photos have been hard to get together and if I have not responded to photos I so apologise, just sometimes I am feeling so unwell, but I do read everything people leave and so value everyones' comments.
Thank you all, I have some wonderful friends here xxx
One day, I knew you
It seemed like I went back to my childhood
Just your embrace when I sleep is like a cradle
Your breath, your sighs, are like a lullaby
Only sometimes, I want to become a child
And sometimes, I realize
That no matter how I want to
Your hands are not always there to lock with mine
*These were children I saw collecting nice stones at the seashore. I asked them if they can model for me and they agreed.
Sometimes, i feel patience could be the answer to anything. No matter how much it rains, and how much you get wet, sometimes i think you should enjoy the uncomfortable moment.
Van Duyn Home and Hospital, Syracuse, N.Y. (Feb. 19, 2006) - Sometimes Joyce Heisler depends on his brother Larry Duncan to take care of her. Heisler, a paraplegic, has been a resident at Van Duyn Home and Hospital since 1982. Duncan said his sister once told him, "If I have to leave Van Duyn one day, my stuff will only fit in a trailer."

Sometimes you just can't show or tell, you know? But I feel bad posting in Ravelry with no pictures, so...

Sometimes my head feels as though it is going to explode so many decisions and so many outcomes I tend to wonder if I make the right decisions. I'm stuck at the moment with one of the most hardest decisions yet, time is ticking and I need to decide fast. No matter what option I choose, I sacrifice something. The question is am I strong enough the make the necessary sacrifice.
