Judgement

How good of GOD,

the Almighty ...

to take a few days off

so that my brother can step in

and pass JUDGEMENT.

Apparently, people, I am not minding my own business in a manner that's acceptable to said brother.

How dare I!?

When Jesus Christ administered to the children of men in the flesh - He was careful not to judge.

Matter of fact, weren't some of His last words (during sore Crucifixion, no less) : "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do." ???

My poor, dear, clueless brothter - thinks he can judge me.

He "knows not".

There is no way he can walk a mile in my shoes right now, let alone 2.

Human Sculptures

This artist works in plastic - constructs human beings in silica...

If you find this as facinating as I did you might google the name "Ron Mueck"

There's more information and a few more pix on the internet
- (albeit most images have a air of melancholy to them)

Happy Monday!

Um...

LOL!

Happy Monday!

Q12

Today, as I sat in on General Conference with other members of my church I felt blessed, reassured, and strengthened by the Lord's pattern in the organization of His church.
.
- and -
.
I felt thankful, for the inspirational leadership we continually receive from the Quorum of the 12 (Apostles);
.
...from both the study of what the ancients preserved for us
- that wisdom of the ages awaiting all those with the ears to hear, and eyes to see, in likening the scriptures unto themselves...
and from what these latter day prophets, seers, and revelators
- our modern day, ordained members of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles have to say in baring their special witness of the divinity of the living Lord, Jesus Christ....
.
It is particularly interesting when one of these, general authorities, (an Elder, from the 70, I believe)describes in vivid detail the process of spiritual 'rebirth' and you realize that he has somehow opened a window into the depths of your very own soul - because every bit of what he is describing is and was your experience.
.
Amazing Grace - how sweet that vibe!
.
A prayer from my e-mail files today:
.
...Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.
There is no cost, just a lot of reward.
(a reminder...)
Make sure you pray, and pray believing God will answer.
.
May today be all you need it to be.
May the peace of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit rest in your thoughts, rule in your dreams tonight, and conquer all your fears.
May God manifest himself today in ways you have never experienced.
May your joys be fulfilled, your dreams be closer, and your prayers be answered.
I pray that faith enters a new height for you; I pray that your territory is enlarged.
I pray for peace, healing, health, happiness, prosperity, joy, true and undying love for God.
.
I pray for these favors and blessings to be yours, and I pray for them to be mine as well.
Prayer has become a "special gift" for me.
It is indispensable for me, and yet - there are times when I 'forget'.
Double the blessings for that friend who sent this uplifting reminder to me today and double the blessings for any other who crosses by this way...
.
Prayers go up.
Blessings come down.
...In the holy name of our brave redeemer, even the Lord, Jesus Christ
- Amen.

Water Conservation

Wiki "How To" of the day: Build a Rain Water Collection System

Man-o-man!

I gotta settle down - quit renting and actually buy me a place so that I can do cool stuff like this!

I put the topic into, "googled images"... looks like these folks are way into it!

I thought this last one, though, was the most aesthetically pleasing... 'Go Anna!'

Me & Sully...

Sometimes things just fall into place, ya know?

Like yesterday, for instance.

I was in town early, mainly because I had an appointment, but also to run an errand or 2 - I've always multi-tasked on soirees into town and now a days, with gas being as pricey as it is - I can't afford not to! One of the tasks was to fill up on the cheap gas (discounted 5 cents per gallon on Thursdays) at Orscheln's. $3.13 p/gallon *sheesh* anywho...

I figured that post my appointment, I'd have a short line at the pumps given that it was raining outside...

After Gassing up...

Something said 'check your cel-phone' to my smarting little brain. ($3.13 p/gallon hurts me little head, I swear!) =)

There was an urgent sounding message from my friend 'Rose' ... Could I watch her little 'Sullivan' for a couple hours and git him to school on time (he's at that adorable 1/2 day age), for her?

Both of Sully's parents needed to be off to work and no 'regularly' scheduled sitter could bridge the gap!

The part I love here, is that I was heading her way and was literally 2 blocks from their house when the message finished up.

Sweet-D, me, to the rescue!

I called her back from her drive way.... "Yes...? He's dressed and ready to go...?" (She's tentatively, hopefully answering my questions)

"Great, cause I happened to be in the neighborhood when I got your message and I'm sitting right outside of your house - now. lol"

- crisis adverted-!

So... me and that 'QT-pie' Sully... (this little guy is sweeeeeet!)

We basically went to school together yesterday morning.

It was raining, so I took him up to the college with me and introduced him to the classroom where we've been attending to the advancement of my stress ... er, studies.

This involved a short elevator ride.

I let him push all of the buttons...which he did with great aplomb and minimal direction.

Once in the classroom, I introduced him to such wonders as the "Disney" and "Looneytoons" websites.

It was my goal to have him in as much control of PC operations as possible - took him through a little point and click 101... showed him how to google up the sites - even had him spell out D I S N E Y by himself, on the key board and briefly cross referenced the 'enter' key with him.

He was diggin' it.

and...

I was diggin' it... 'cause (boy howdy!) I was really multi-tasking now, bay-bee!

Kid sitting, teaching elementary IT, surfing the net simultaneously for looneytoons and reference articles for my Economics term paper... checkin' e-mail - Who-wee!

=)

(happy grin)

Time flew by...

Sully tapped into some Baby Einstein spaceship blast off game for awhile and then watched some cartoons.

He really seemed to be enjoying himself.

This was good - because I need to be maximizing every minute and hauling him back to my house 'til it was time to take him to his school wasn't gonna cut it for me nearly as well as this was.

By the time I got him to his alma matter he was on a decidedly independent track.

"I know where I'm going. You don't have to go in with me." He volunteered. . .

hummm... from the way his Momma described it - it was a pretty straightaway... so...

"Fine. You ARE quite the big boy today - going to College with me, playing around on the computers together, I believe you can find your way ok on your own. So! I am going to drop you off here - at the right door and then I'll watch and wait while you get inside the school and headed in the right direction to your class - ok!?"

I'm saying this while carefully eyeing the plate glass ensconced entry way to the elementary school...

Big smile from Sully!

I'd never do that in a million years in a metro area - rural America does have its graces.

Picked up another batch of local papers from my 'source' (Mother) on my way home - called every number I could find in it, and from the local open-line radio show, and from the local chamber of commerce listings... to earnestly try to nail down a new living space... because, 'the shelter over my head' status officially went into quasi-homelessness as of April Fool's day. ... and though the pickin's are slim right now, I did firm up a deal this morning.

I gotta finish up this post, visit my landlord to be, and sign the lease papers.

On the onset, this is not going to be as comfortable, in any way, shape, or form from where I have been... but I'll make it work for me AND it'll be easier walking distance to my classes. Mere blocks to walk compared to a 3 mile highway hike.

So that thing is falling into place today... It was the only rental I saw in my price range that met my 3 stickler requirements... enough room for all my "stuff", a hook-up for a washing machine, and a landlord that appears to have an amiable demeanor.

I don't wanna put anything in 'store age' (been there, done that, ended up filing police reports because it got broken into along with a string of other people's - damn you theives!)

I gots to be able to do my laundry at home. I've done the laundry mat sceen here and there throughout the years and it just SUX for me... I loath it. (The multi-tasker mindset has run to deep to change it now! lol!)

and...

I have to be able to get along from the get go with my landlord - if you act way too uptight showing your place to me - I am so not going to rent from you. I flat refuse to subsidize your income with my hard earned pay while you behave yourself to be little more than a walking anus.

I met a walking anus yesterday evening - he was hoping to rent me a 2 B RM Trailer... He opened up the door to a very clean looking spacious living room... I stepped through and immediately smelled "CAT"... the bad, smell of cat that no one (not even cats, I suspect) likes.

So I say, "Ou. I smell CAT....!?"

"Welp," He says, "That's it then - I'm not even going to fool with you. There has never been a cat in here and if that's the first thing you're going to say it's not going to be worth my time to even show it to you."

He was sooo right about that... and sooo wrongly in denial about whether or not there had ever been a CAT living in that trailer. My golly - I'd wager that the living room carpet was actually soak in their urine/spray - the way it reeked in there.

I mean, yeah, I got a cat - but I don't cotton to cat smell. No, uh-uh - nadda me! *sheesh*

The landlord I'm signing up with seems pretty lo-key in his walk through with me but fairly discerning in our conversation(s) in terms of landlord/tennant relations.

Gotta go...

Wish me luck in the movin'...

Happy weekend to ya'll!

The Greatest Love

The greatest love I have in my life is the love of God.

My love for Him, His love for me - very real, and undeniable, for me.

Periodically, I think about the times in my life that I have been an absolute fool for love...

(I was thinking about this just today, it being April Fool's day and all.)

The conclusion I derive to...

- from all that I have given

- and all that I feel I have been blessed with

- "'in the name of love" (even counting the not so "whoop-de-dew" stuff - in love's learning curve)

The conclusion I derive to is this: because He first loved me,

I will always be a happy and willing fool for LOVE!

Always... and in all the ways He directs me to be thus engaged.

I am certain everyone with internet access has seen this "Interview with God"

If there should be any other "Fool for Love" come across this post today (or any other day for that matter),

I would encourage you to visit (re-visit?) that link and drink in the inspiring imagry and message(s) contained there.

Jesus said: "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

.
.
.
May pure love attend all who pass this way - both the foolish and the wise...
all ways
and
always

Ha-Ha! "Peacock"

Joke:

I was at the mall the other day eating at the food court.

I noticed an old man watching a teenager sitting next to him.

The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue.

The old man kept staring at him.

The teenager would look and find the old man staring every time.

When the teenager had had enough, he sarcastically asked,

"What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?

The old man did not bat an eye in his response,

"Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock.

I was just wondering if you were my son."

.

... somethings just "invite" the eye (and the occasional wise-crack), no?

Should I widen my search...?

Someone e-mailed me this picture.
Pretty funny right?
Well, at this point I do believe I'd settle for it... or something similar.

QofP! Chocolate Chip Cookies

That's right.

The Queen of Panic gets all the credit for this yummy recipe.

That's because I got it from her... and...

That's what I'm calling it/them from here on out:

Panic's Chocolate Chip Cookies

or ...maybe you think that

QP's Chocolate Chip Cookies

has a better 'ring' to it?

Let's go with that then... here is the recipe, considering my stress level... I will definately be mixing up a batch of these over the weekend....

QP's Chocolate Chip Cookies

preheat oven to 350

2 1/4 C sifted flour

1 t. baking soda

1 t. salt

Combine and whisk together, those ingredients in a separate bowl - set aside.

1 C. (2 sticks) softened/room temperature butter

1/4 C. granulated sugar

3/4 C. brown sugar

1 t. vanilla

1 pkg. (4 serv.) instant vanilla pudding mix*

Combine the above ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat until they appear to be 'light & fluffy'.

Add: 2 eggs - thoroughly beat until mix looks smooth and creamy.

Add, slowly: The reserved flour combination, mixing well after each addition until well incorporated.

Stir in: 1 - 12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips & (optional) 1 C. Chopped walnuts.

Drop by tsp. onto an ungreased cookie sheet, baking 10-12 minutes, then removing from the oven to cool on wire rack(s).

*May substitute Chocolate pudding - which I did a couple weeks ago & they were good too... only I think I will cut the addition of salt down when using chocolate pudding in this mix to only 1/2 teaspoon.

Mmm-mm-good comfort food, people! Maybe they'll make it to the pot luck on Sunday??? Maybe I'll whoop up a couple 'Dream Coconut Cream Pies' instead... at any rate you all have a great weekend, ya hear?

Enjoy!

Easter Eggs

I Love Easter! Hope everyone had a blessed one this year. We did the Easter Story Eggs with the little children in Sunday school. I love teaching Sunday school! My little class yesterday was full of boys - all full of life - ! At this stage in development they seem to be just as chatty as what the girls are, maybe more! lol! I just saw a list of 'Things I'd like to do before I die' on NWJR's blog... that reminds me, I'd like to take a stab at decorating eggs like these in the photo - at least once, before I get too old, arthritic, or 'shaky' to git r done! Here's a link to a web page about Easter Eggs.

Happy Spring! ...(???)

Boy Howdy... We made it through to SPRING! yippie-skippy!!!

Temps into the 70s today - that oughta take care of the snow we got on Sunday and Monday!

I just sent out a "Happy Birthday" card to my sister, in hopes that it arrives for her special day - this will be a mile stone one for her I'm guessing...

I put some smarty pants comments inside and: ???, for the return address on the envelope.

Alekx and Burfica have both asked about how I am doing in 'relocating'

Answer: Not too good, not right now - although I am keeping at it. [beams a hopeful, optimistic smile]

It just seems like everything in my world is either on hold or backed way up right now.

Like, I called the IRS 2-3 weeks ago and asked them to send me a 970 - the instructions for taking higher education credits... the packet arrived yesterday - with an order list that had my request alright, and ...bankruptcy forms... (I was not amused)... someday, though, that's gonna be funny to me. I just know it.

I haven't worked/had a pay-check in what (?) 12 weeks now?

This was going to be ok when I first 'found myself unemployed' because I had crunched the numbers and looked at the time factor.

I could take some time to rededicate my focus to my school work (And I have. I've pulled everything up to the 'A' standard I so dearly love - this was slipping before...) ... and find a much more suitable job in every sense of the word - including pay scale, because -

I had some 'reserved resources' and I figured on some pocket cushion in the form of my student loans (they have YET to come in btw, that has been the real killer for me ... dang it!) but then,

Dun-dun-dunnn! (insert ominous music here)

I hadn't foreseen the 'eviction' - I had not even dreamt that my dear relatives would pick right now (with real estate sales slumping of all things and times!?) as the time to want to spruce up the place and put it back on the market. Hello!!!???

You know, I can't say a bad word about it either - so I won't - other than the timing sucks (for me). All things considered, they (the collective 'they') have all been really, really good to me down through the years. I hope they get an immediate buyer and one willing to go their full asking price! Truly, I do.

Chalk all this up to a big lesson in unfortunate and unforeseen events. . . coming 'round and laying smack down.

(I've an elderly, retired school teacher friend, "Well, you should know by now that bad things do happen to good people - sometimes." Yeah, her timing was perfect, we shared a laugh, actually... the situation is ripe with stress, irony, stress, lessons to be learned (and then some!), stress, er... did I mention stress?)

Talk about a rough ride this month, though - up, down, up, down... the pressure, is 'on', as the saying goes.

Another example: One of the jobs I've applied for thus far, one with an attractive start-wage and benefits package - it would be with the State public power (Stability! Just what I'm looking for, yes!) called me back, asked me to take a 'blind typing' test (they cover the keyboard with a box so you can't/don't look at the keys as you type the test). I must have passed their minimum at least, because they sent out an interview packet with paperwork for me to fill out and made an appointment with me to interview on the 17th. Whoo-hoo, right?

I was feeling grrreat about that - until the phone rang again (last Friday) and they cancelled the interview - pending further notice - because my interviewer was down, sick.

Whatever.

I have a 'job' to do today. =)

My brother and his family are in Hawaii, right now - he couldn't get his buddy to feed/water the 2cats and 1rottweiler for the last 2 days they'd be gone, so he called on me. This will be a very temporary position, (lol)but it will pay - (and pay better than the last 'job' that I did have.) lol (see, irony here?) Bah-ha-ha-ha!

Yes.

Spring and the good weather are helping my attitude a bunch. . .

Jobs are opening up, a little bit here.

I've got several good prospects to apply for yet today and have already submitted my resume to a couple ahead of these this morning.

I know I have way too, too much 'stuff' to do right now but, the fact is that I just 'shut down' (other than reading through my assignments) -everything over the past weekend.

I think I pretty much had to.

I prayed alot and I focused on 'What's next?'

I should have fasted, along with the praying, perhaps, but I went with the self medication through chocolate chip cookie idea instead.

(I'll post the recipe at a later date - these have puddin' in the mix)

I mean, I was down to either taking 'a break' from EVERYTHING last week, or suicide... Guess which one I choose? (Insert more edgy laughter here: hahaha! Waves her fist wildly in the air!)

I mean, suicidal thoughts do not stand a chance in the face of ooie good chocolate chip cookies - do they? I fail to see how anyone could off themselves with a cookie in the house. Seriously.

(disclaimer: no worries please - I am oh, so kidding about the "S" word here)

... So, here I am - smack dab in the midst of the refiners fire (see previous post)

Loving... life, liberty, SPRING!, the good Lord above, you (for reading all the way down to here. lol) my studies (even though we are into economics right now), and the big unknown too - as in how is this all gonna play out and where is this taking me next?

"And we know that all things work together for
good to them that love God, to them who are the called
according to his purpose. " -- Romans 8:28

I have a testimony that this is true, at least, it always has been for me!

Cheerios! (and much love) to all who pass this way...

I Need Some Comic Relief...

A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.

The Refiner...

From my e-mail files...

This has circulated on the internet for sometime.

I found several versions on other's blogs and web pages, while browsing for some coolio image to post along with it here... and yes... I am posting it here as a reminder...to 'me'.

The Refiner’s Fire

Malachi 3:3 says:

'He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.'

This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.

One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.

That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver.

As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.

The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: ‘He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.' She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined.

The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.

The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, 'How do you know when the silver is fully refined?' He smiled at her and answered, 'Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it'.

If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.

If you feel prompted to pass this on right now, please do so! At this very moment, someone needs to know, or receive this reminder, that God is watching over them. And, whatever they're going through, they'll be a better person in the end. The scriptures are full of His encouragements for us.

'Time and Life are kind of like coins. You can spend them anyway you wish, but you can only spend them once'.

Looks like I better be looking...NOW!

Ah what a day!

Woke up sick (feeling better now, thanks!), the glorious, spring temps & weather are helping that, but..., just a little bit ago... (2 hours - maybe?) I was 'served' with an eviction notice.

Not because I've been a bad renter, mind you - not at all.

It's because the property owners want to sell - and I occupy the house.
'The house' is the best asset on the property, which would be most reasonably subjected to a quick renovation for said owner(s) to spruce up to get the property ready to sell out at the best, optimal price point -or- for one of them to take possession of.

I've got 2 options.
One realistic, and one fanciful.
Realistic option is: find a 'new place' pronto & quickly move out... so... (guess you all know what I will be doing these next 4 weeks! Packing up and apartment hunting!)

One thing is certain:
This shall be
A memorible 'leap day' for me, for sure!
.
.
.
OH! I almost forgot,
Fanciful option: Win the lottery, and buy the flippin' property for myself, and use it to make a few other dreams come true!!!
lol...
I'm off to check the local classified ads for 'rentals'...

Cheerios2 all of you - Have a great weekend!

Motivational Theory

I found this cartoon while searching the internet for info...

Class tonight.

I thought the teacher announced at the end of the last group project that there'd be no more group projects??? (yup. I typed that with a bit of whine running in m' fingers.)

Now... here I am working with others on yet another...group project.

(At least all the 'others' are guys. I'm the sole girl in the group, so maybe I should take back the whine and enjoy - A?)

Our topic: Motivational Theory.

(Hence the cartoon, I found - Bah-ha-ha-ha-ha!)

So far we've decided to go with a brief opening in what it is, note some adaptations of theory not mentioned in our text books, then start tying everything back to practicle application in the workplace.

"Z" is taking it back to goal setting and employee recognition programs

"J" is looking into the positive and negative impacts MT may have on creativity and innovation

"D" [me!] is looking into the art of persuation, the diversity challenge and pulling out an assessment (to use as a handout for our presentation) along the lines of "What motivates YOU?"

(not alot can constructively happen until we know the answer to that question people!)

"B" was 'absent' tonight - so we're waiting with baited breath for his imput now...

So tell me... what DOES motivate you? =)

News:it's gonna be a boy (maybe)

I have not posted any meaningful updates for a while now.
I thought it was about time to do some catch-ups.
The big news at Christmas time in my family was that my brother and his wife are expecting another baby - due sometime in June.
The big news this month is that they've had an ultra sound and it is lookin' like a boy! yea!
That would mean that I am 5 out of 6 right in correct gender guessing my nieces and nephews - those that I could guess on anyways. The little hummingbird, came to us in a 2fer deal when her Momma married the Rock. ... and so the only one I have guessed wrong on so far, has been her baby sister (the one that just celebrated her 2nd birthday, end of January) - I was saying a boy for her as well. =)
I made a little neckless for her for Valentine's day and a Pin for her older sister. Those 2 really seemed to like them. Made me happy when they put them right on... even happier when, I tried to get the little one to give the neckless back, so I could look at one of the charms I'd put on it and she dodged me, with a shy smile and doubter's look - not wanting to relinquish the new trinket - at all.
Hehehee.
Love them kids.
Love those I teach in Sunday school too.
Yesterday, I had them set up an obsticle course then I made them say their prayers, just before and I blindfolded the lot of them!
Heheehee. I rather liked tying them up!
Then I sent them through the obsticle course they just made.
They were supposed to listen to me to be able to make it through - unscathed. (as you can well imagine some were better at this than others!)
I got 2 of them through everything then stopped and told them all the game was changing. That they were still going to have to listen only to me to make it through, but that the other 2 were gonna be telling them to do stuff to... only I wasn't gonna be talking as loud as they were.
Yep.
It got rather interesting at that point.
=)
and...
yes.
I eventually untied all of the children (de-blindfolded them) and we read some stories out of the scriptures.
We do a game with that too, every time I stop reading they have to say the next thing, and every time 'God' or 'Jesus' is speaking to someone - that's their part too.
I had to supress a laugh the first time I planned this out with them, and all the boys in the class responded by dropping their vioces down to as deep a pitch as what they possibly could to read those parts... lol! Kids!
;-)

Love Is ... Inscribed

There we have it.
I week's worth of 'Love Is...' posts to honor what love really is, and to mark Valentine's Day... which to me, and from what I know of it's origin, is an extention of what I posted of at Christmas time: The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of pure love.
'We', as in the collective, societal 'we' have 1st endeavored to celebrate Valentine's Day in tribute to a saint's reciprocal, altruistic, pure love - given without thought of personal gain, because he had 1st been transformed by a spirit of pure love in his life and was 'playing it forward'.
He was a condemed man and yet... his chairity (pure love) lives on - every February the 14th.
Whether you know the original story of Valentine's day, or not -
even those that would 'play' at love,
tip their hearts this way,
His way,
on Valentine's day.
ViVa Love!

Love Is ... Heartsong

Who doesn't have certain songs that remind them of special loves and those affairs that played out into that particular relationship or romance?
I remember trying to console an old roommate once upon a long time ago - (it was a 3's compnay situation, 1 Dorko co-habitating with a Bevus and a Butthead...) - anywho...
I said to the Butthead, "Here, let me put on some music! It'll help you to forget about that little old broken heart of yours... "
I'd go to pull out a CD...
"No!" He'd say,"That one reminds me of (insert random girl name here)."
I'd say, "er,... ok... we'll put on this one." (pulling out another CD)
"No!" He'd say, "That one reminds me of (insert randome girl name here)."
This little game went 6 or 7 rounds.
Who knew Butthead was such a romeo?
I finally settled on a brand new release, which, yes, reminded him of the current heartbreaker!
*sighs*
(yeah. I gave up trying to cheer up the Butthead)
When I'm not dating, I listen to the classical stations... something I never do with a "date".
I find it's great background music to whatever I'm doing at home and there's no lovelorn reminders sown into it, for me.
.
Still, like my 'Butthead' friend, I have quite the collection of songs - which remind me of special people.
.
What about you?
