Time: 12:00PM Sunday 9 May

Hiya. So, it is Mother's Day. And...yeah. My mum was happy with the magazine and the Lucky Bamboo I got her.

It is a very wet day here. As I type, in two seconds it has gone from no rain, to a heavy din. Just like that. Even now it is subsiding..only to rise up again. I love the sound of rain on a tin roof. It is one of the, most enjoyable and relaxing sounds. I love it.

There are precious moments and precious places in time for everyone. One of my most notable is lying in bed listening to rain. The other is standing in front of the fire very late [or very early, depending on your POV] just listening. Like, at 3 in the morning or something, if I wake up...I can just stand in the Lounge Room, in front of the fire and...soak it up. I can't relate to anything you may or may not have done, but we have a real wood fire, and it is glorious. Listening to it crackle, and getting all nice and toasty, and it is just so calm. Nothing can invade those peaceful moments, and everyone should have some...and try to hold onto them. We can't keep everything forever...but we can try. My mum read a quote this morning.

"We can complain that the rose bushes have thorns, or we can celebrate that the thorn bushes have roses". Thats by Abraham Lincoln. And I think it is a really great quote.

People will complain...and sometimes life just isn't fair, always sticking you with thorns. But in the end, the precious moments are to be marvelled at, and they ease the pain of the thorns.

Behold the roses, savour their scent, marvel at them, for they are few and far between.

Edit: I am on the first page. Woohoo.

Go visit Radaghast and give him some visits. ^_^. Also visit Panda because you should.
