Okay so I'm sitting at my friend Catherine’s birthday party and I have been encouraged by ‘the road to creativity’ to continue my blog right here and now so I'm writing on a paper dish in the kitchen with Steph (TRTC) and Rachel('Slowly painting my bridge')

9th crayon was supposed to be here too but couldn’t make it due to the fact she’s not very well (get well soon 9th crayon!!!)
Being at a party we are talking about the things that you only talk about at a party amongst friends, like how to remember how to spell diarrhoea, apparently you remember by saying ‘dining in a rough restaurant, hurry or expect accidents’ so there you have it!

There are really nice flowers on the window sills in the kitchen and we are discussing the door jam/stopper thing, which is a little miniature weighted pole and eating very yummy chocolate birthday cake a balloon has just popped in the front room, deliberately I think and right next to the birthday girl, people are just starting to go home and Rachel is talking about fluffy lettuces (but apparently It was floppy not fluffy as I miss-heard!) Steph was inviting me to ‘be a woman!’ but I think I'm hearing things now! I'm also running out of room on my paper plate so were going to go and dance and I shall continue this later!
234 words on a paper plate is quite a good start to a blog, another question Rachel had that night were why people make blogs sound like a blog and talk/type in a ‘blog voice?’ It’s true thought I find I have a typical blog voice not so much a diary or reading voice but one that tries to be informative (but normally fails! Unless you wanted to know how to spell diarrhoea! ) and is a bit like a maiden aunt asking how you are doing at school when you left seven years ago and she means university but knows no different.

It started me thinking about the way people are around different people, for example I know I'm different around my friends than when I'm with my parents. If I'm in a meeting and everyone is being serious I have a tendency to be a class clown (unless I know Its not the time or place) Steph has done a lot of acting in her time and we got on to talking last night about a event where we went to the shop to buy drinks for Catherine’s 17Th or 18th birthday party, a coincidence as the current birthday girl was the very same Catherine! And Steph remembered being nervous about buying drinks where as I didn’t. she tried to act normally and she thinks she failed miserable, (I didn’t think so!)
but it’s the same with voices you can put on a brave face but be crumpeling inside, or you can act sad and upset but inside be gloating and happy, but I'm running out of steam on this so back to other things.

In my last blog i talked about Joseph Kony and the invisible children movement i think maybe they are trying to do a good thing but the company under scrutiny is not looking good. I leave all readers to make up there own mind on this matter.
My post before that was about new year and what a good time i had down with some Friends of mine. unfortunately a few days after Catherine's party the father of my friend suddenly passed away. His funeral was on the 12th of this month and i have only seen a few churches packed to capacity like it was. This is the true testimony to this man, who i felt very privileged to know. I know only too well he will be sadly missed but fondly remembered.
that is why Blogs and other life capturing things are so important. we are all flowers Quickly fading here today but gone tomorrow.
I think i may have reached the end of this blog for today but not before i say this.
If you feel down hearted smile for your smile will bring joy to others.

If you feel down hearted smile for your smile will bring joy to others.
If you feel like singing, go ahead, and encourage others to join in.
If some one you loves hands are empty fill them with your own hand because together you can do anything.
And if you have lost. Love what you still have, whether it is friends or memories because those things are yours and are precious.
25 "So I tell you, don't worry about the food or drink you need to live, or about the clothes you need for your body. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes. 26 Look at the birds in the air. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. And you know that you are worth much more than the birds. 27 You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it. 28 "And why do you worry about clothes? Look at how the lilies in the field grow. They don't work or make clothes for themselves. 29 But I tell you that even Solomon with his riches was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers.30 God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today but tomorrow is thrown into the fire. So you can be even more sure that God will clothe you. Don't have so little faith!31 Don't worry and say, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?'32 The people who don't know God keep trying to get these things, and your Father in heaven knows you need them. 33 Seek first God's kingdom and what God wants. Then all your other needs will be met as well. 34 So don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will have its own worries. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6 25-34) God Bless you all. XxX
