The World Beyond BetterMost > Anything Goes
bettermost's hallmark collection
optom3:
I have found such fellowship here,that I wanted to try and express my appreciation.I truly felt so lost almost in limbo,until I stumbled across BetterMost.Other sites I had lurked around seem just pale imitations.With harsh critics, who seem to delight in casting scorn and derision on those who through no choice seem to have been so disturbed on so many levels,by BBM.So this is my thankyou to everyone,who showed me the way.It's not Robert Browning!!!! but it is deeply heartfelt.
So here's to all my friends at BetterMost,Tankyou
IN PRAISE OF ALL THINGS BETTERMOST.
Thoughts constant,bemusing,in their profusion,
leading in directions of despair,confusion.
Wandering,searching,spaces,in the belief,
will be found solace,respite,relief
from this state of remorseless pain.
Which leaves no time,to ever regain
some sense of reality,or perspective,
nor stand back,regroup,so find objective,
yet understanding,hearts,minds,ears
that listen.Humane,permitting tears
to fall,unabated,healing,soul needs to mend
itself,without having to explain,defend
to those,who have no understanding.
Emotions,unrelenting,so demanding
of attention,walking,talking,sleeping.
So continues the journey,still seeking
solutions,introspection leans towards vanity.
Questions,too absorbed,plunging,insanity
beckons.Then a glimpse,tangential,soothing host,
campfire,warming logs to cold banish,BetterMost.
Haven,peace,tranquillity,applies bandage ,balm,
so hearts,once broken,fix now.Breath slows,as calm
descends on eagles wings.Condemned,not here,Fair,
appeasing,so stands,smiles,with ease casts off despair.

I have seen March of the Penguins (good film) and also the real penguins marching.

Now that,(Venice )brings back such good memories.I went there with my husband for his 40th,We stayed in the most stunning hotel I have ever seen,the Cipriani.The trip was just idyllic.I fell in love with my husband again,and with Bellinis,St,Marks square,Harry's bar,well just Venice period.I wish I could recapture those fellings again.We were going to go back for my 50th,but I cannot believe it would ever be that perfect again.Still who knows.Thanks for posting,I have a beautiful painting of Venice over my fireplace,to serve as a reminder,of how things once were,and maybe will be again.

For my husband's 40th, he wanted both of us to learn to sail so we spent a week on a live-aboard catamaran in the British Virgin Islands. That was lovely as well. For my 40th, we stayed home. I had had enough traveling for a while, and, frankly, was trying to ignore it. It didn't work - might as well have celebrated. ;D

I insisted my 40th be ignored,50th now round the corner!!!!definitely one to bypass.Funnily enough I found 45 worse than 40,it sudenly hit home then.No idea why.
But then I can't figure myself out at the best of times,so no change there!!
