Recently, I had a life changing experience that made me wake up and really take a good look at myself. For years, I have been just existing, not living, not feeling and not happy. When I was much younger, I had so many dreams on how I wanted to live my life, the kind of people I wanted in it and the type of community I wanted to be a part of. I think that somewhere along the way, I lost my fight and was willing to settle with what ever life threw at me. Well, it all came to a change.
Sometime this month, I will be meeting my dear friend snailrider from snailrider.com. This man has been such a loyal friend, who truly cared about me, was concerned for my health and happiness and a real teacher in regards to life. He has been a large influence for me to make these changes and he has no idea just how much I appreciate him. Life is an adventure and you only get to take it once, thanks to snailrider, I'm ready to live again.
Another change coming about is moosegal will be eventually relocating to a different marsh. The url will remain the same but my physically location will be changing. It's time for a change and maybe if I am lucky .. I might be able to fill the emotional void in my life. A new location and someone that will love me ..... I don't want to lead my readers but ... (you follow the story).
If you are a regular visitor of moosegal.com, be expecting some down sizing. If you are interested in following moosegal's new life trail, keep an eye on my moosedroppings.
Wisihing all the best,
moosegal
Over the past few years, we have seen the shadow of war. War, fear, recession and insecurities has plagued our lives driving happiness and freedom away. It was times like this in days of yesteryear when musicians were inspired to create and sing melodies and songs to bring about moments of happiness in peoples lives. Take for example the vietnam war which actually american combat involvement took place from 1956 to 1975. In 1968 Tommy James and the Shondells rocked the chart with Mony Mony, Tom Jones sang for Delilah, and Steppenwolf gave the world a Magic Carpet Ride. In 1968, Easy Rider tore a patch on the big screen, giving excitement to some and inspiring the wild side in other. Lobo came along in 1971 singing, Me and You and A Dog Named Boo, strange song and yet upbeat. I bet a lot of people forgot that the planet was taken over by apes in 1972 while the battle continued in Vietnam. Then in 1974 a smilie, blonde, exciting young man came along and graced the stage with sunshine. Although his first record was recorded in 1968, Sunshine on My Shoulders was a sure hit in 1974. My thoughts on this, people needed to feel good about life regardless of the conflict in Vietnam. I'm sure the soldiers and their family celebrated the ending of the war while dancing to, "Thank God I'm A Country Boy".
In 2001, the World Trade Center held the first of many casualties. Sadness fell among the nation and the door was opened for war. Since that time, people live in fear, alerts have colors, G.W. appears on our television sets frequently, families weep for their loved ones serving across the globe and the dark shadow of recession spreads. Fergie is Clumsy and I'm certain it has given some relief from the gloom faced, it's just not enough. It's time we reach within ourselves and pull our own spirits up. I have added a playlist link in with this blog with music from the past. I hope you enjoy it and that it brings you some sort of happiness. In the meantime ... find peace in your heart and fill your life with love and happiness to drive the dark clouds away.
One friend, two friend, three friend, four. Five friend, six friend, seven friend, no more. I am fortunate to have a lot of friends in my life but when they parish, the wealth of friends becomes an abundance of pain.
It had only been a couple of weeks when I learned about the death of a very close and dear friend when I had been told about the parting of another. Although I had known the man from my place of employment and from the friendship I had with his niece, in my heart, he was still a wonderful friend. Like a one, two punch, I should have seen the left hook coming for me. It has only been a two years since my dear friend A. G. passed away and I supported her husband as he mourned the loss of his wife, and now here I am again, offering him support after being diagnosed with cancer. How can life be so very unfair?
If you are fortunate to have someone close, a dear friend or many,
embrace the time you share together. We are here today and gone
tomorrow. There is no set time to live and no appointment to
die. Take the time to enjoy life, people and experiences.
Lastly, let your friends know how much you enjoy being their
friend.
If anyone should happen to wander in to this area ... I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas. Stop by my site at moosegal.com during the holidays ... will have holiday music with player, Christmas movies and Christmas Cartoons for children.
Enjoy and have a safe and happy holiday.
Sincerely,
The gal behind moosegal.com
Just recently snailrider had been goading me about how my site has been developing. I admit, I am not working as fast as I would like to but I was called moose for a reason ... I am stubborn. I hope to have the changes in place soon but before I start adding the pictures to the photo album, I am hoping that maybe some people might want to add a few comments about the way I designed this first one.
Thanks for reading this and I hope to see comments back from you.
Who Is The Real Gal Behind Moosegal.com
There are
various place on the web, where you can find many blogs and post made
by me. I am going to make this site a lot different than the
one's that already exist and hope you might find me interesting enough
to search for more of my stuff.
I would like to give you a better introduction of myself with this first post. I am a woman with a love for peace, solitude and the need to find innocent and happy thoughts.
I often tell snailrider the reason I don't understand things or recognize things is because I have my head stuffed up Bambi's butt just to cover up the fact I truly am naive. Although naive isn't a bad thing, some people do seem to frown upon the less experienced in life.
If you haven't had a chance to look at the pictures I have here in my profile, you might want to take a quick peek. The pictures have been taken around my neck of the woods and as you can see I truly do live among the wild and in a very peaceful place. The marsh has offered me much shelter over the years and people around this area are all good people that care for one another. I guess it would be hard not to be naive if you lived here.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my first post and will continue to keep coming back to look for me. In the meantime, search for my stuff on the net. If you're lucky enough, you might find some goodnight threads with interesting poems in them. If you do ... chances are ... it just might be me. On that note .....
Goodnight everybody!!!!
