Too much to bear one fears but
still one must persist

Still one must persist
and anxious one must persist.
Breathe first. Then help them.

Snoozy, in a few months I'll be saying the same thing about our terribly hot humid summer weather.

my chickybabes were so stressed , i had to put the wading pool up and give them all a dunking. Lol they are so funny. Squawking as i put them in , then just floating along hahaha .

dunked the doggies too, they love it :-)

how are you coping with the heat Pj ... xxx
Oh Snoozums, you should do a video of that....that would go viral.

And yeah.....Canberra.....just terrible.....I finally had to stop watching the news every day, as lots of Aussies have said it is just too emotional....for me....far away, I kind of feel guilty. Which makes no sense.

Praying for more rain and far less wind and heat.
Love you to pieces chicken. ❤️❤️

I love your head jr, and your writing. s ❤️

The thing is, they don't always breathe for themselves.
And I am blessed that I could help here....and I have.
Whilst looking after me.
That is a first.

Providing (everything crossed) that my MIL is still with us in two weeks, I will go with Nick to VA for the Valentine's Day weekend. It is Gloria (mil)'s birthday on the 15th....I am praying she gets to have that day with her family.

Vinny, beautiful song...I was curious of the translation and good ol’ google obliged. Hope that’s ok.

Knowing how to love

Knowing how to smile
To an unknown woman passing by
Not keeping any trace of it
Except pleasure
Knowing how to love
Without expecting anything in return
Neither esteem nor a great love story
Not even the hope to be loved

(chorus)
But knowing how to give
Giving without taking back
Only learning
Learning how to love
Loving without waiting
Loving to take everything
Learning how to smile
Perfunctorily
Without wanting what goes with it
And learning how to live
And leaving

Knowing how to wait
Tasting this utter happiness
That you were so desperate to find
That you receive it as if by mistake
Picturing yourself believing
To fool the fear of the void
Fixed in yourself like wrinkles
Tarnishing the mirrors

(chorus)

Knowing how to suffer
In silence, without a whimper
Neither defense nor armor
Suffering to death wish
And picking yourself up
As you are reborn from your own ashes
With so much overflowing love
That you can forget the past

(chorus)

Learning how to dream
Dreaming for two
Just by closing your eyes
And knowing how to give
Giving without mistake
Whole-heartedly
Learning how to stay
Desiring until the end
Staying regardless
Learning how to love
And leaving
And leaving
