So if any bodies read this, they know my situation hasn't been the best. I am working now and I was asked how much for this project. I'm used to making 80k a year.

However, this is for a good cause and I basically took 20 an hour below market value.

Dumb or giving back? I did pray a lot on the decision first

So I got a call,
To help a friend
Not one I know
From one extend.
Needs help with house
Plumbing and such.
Put these hands to work
Idle to much.
Price no worries
I donate my time
My knowledge and skill
Free, not even a dime.

Spring is coming
Almost here.
Leaving the grey of winter
To the rear.
The emergence of spring
When those birds do sing
Flowers emerge
Life erupting
From dull
To vibrant
Nature does call
For some of us,
Engaged, enthralled.
For me it's simple
Seasonal affect belayed.
The return of the sun
Renewal not delayed.
Days, weeks,
Time, no worries?
We can see the forest,...

I'll preface this by saying up front I'm a cat guy. I don't know if it's their aloofness, their athleticism, or just the way they stare at you. It's almost as if they look right through you. Yes, at times, the cat does assert its superiority to its human companion... Even if the vacuum cleaner does instill an unnatural fear into the 'domesticated' hunter.

So tonight I'm wrestling with my friends Great Pyrenees... He's a good boy. 2 years old, 85 pounds of pure muscle. And he's nipping,...

Most days,
The thought doesn't occur.
Life's moved on
Bustle and stir.
Survival takes precedent
Food and shelter.
Yeah, I did give up
Back in November.
The presence of God
then filled my heart.
Never again,
Will it drift apart.
In the material world,
There do come times
That small part
That often drives rhymes.
And, yes it is,
Alas but a girl.
The Leo in me,
Romantic...
