FLOWER OF LIFE
A Poem by Eileen Finch Cain
Own your self-worth in spite of what others may say
Live your potential; let the world know
Ramblings in search for significance even in this small world that I live in...How does every suppose to fit into the reality of every day living when you dream of the fairytell ending...were we so wrong to dream?
What are you running from? What are you running toward?
One day you will have to stop running...Then what will you do?
One can run from something physical,
or from their emotional and soul issues.
Name one thing you are running from. Could it be yourself, your fears?
You can run, but you can't hide.
So back from the "mental" break as may be said...i'm wanting to jump, and run away from home...it's not like life is so bad but life just seems to suck...a recent events in the hometown news just made me sick to think of how innocence of a child…how did “under the bed” and “in the closet” MONSTERS got out into the real world? If not having the chance to have a child and then having one who suffers from no fault of her own. I’m torn between crying and rage.
I don’t want to feel this way… I HATE THE FEELING....mostly
Well, as a person who was taught that you must send thank you notes when someone does something for you or gives you something. As a kid, that was usually only grandma & grandpa. I always got something for my birthday & Christmas. And mom was the one who made all of us write thank you’s. As a grown up, I thought wedding presents were as much as I can do. I’m not a “card” remembering person…except for my husband but that’s a whole other reasons. But I’m home, bored and I guess it is polite to send a thank you note.
Where? Hmmm I recently had major surgery and I received flowers from my husband’s work. Now I know they are from the office manager who signed the owner’s name but then I also know she’ll enjoy the brownies I sent with the card!
So to refresh me etiquette, I googled the “proper” way to write a thank you note and came to these few suggestions.
Any news about your life. This isn’t the time to brag about your new job, a hot girlfriend, or number of surgeries. The thank-you is exclusively about thanking somebody for their kindness. While you may want more than anything to show them once and for all you amounted to something, this is not the forum. Save that for your annual Christmas letter.
Dear Mr. Basore & the Scott Rice Family,
I would love to thank you for the wonderful flowers. Roses are always a favorite and the colorful arrangement was a very nice & warm surprise. Brent and I continue to be grateful for your kindness over the years.
Thank you very much!

Deity is such the politically correct term these days…but for me it is God, the almighty, the biblical God of Abraham. Along with that comes the trinity: God the Father, God the Son & God the holy spirit…all three are one.Defined as: “the act of communicating with a deity”; “a fixed text used in praying”; “reverent petition to a deity”; “someone who prays to God”; “earnest or urgent request”
