The Heart's Music Can Heal

    Hope and pray everyone is doing ok and enjoying the weather.  Well hope it's nice in New England,Stephen.    Most of all pray you are doing fine, Stephen.    Had to do a Slime Bar yesterday and a birthday party.     Slime is the "thing" popular with kids nowadays.  Not bad, except the glitter they use to decorate it.  It goes everywhere. I came home, yet again with it all over myself. After it was over,a family with a little girl turning seven,came in and did a theme with "Beauty And The Beast".   Thought about the blog you wrote about how your daughter liked the movie.   They had both pictures of the Disney animation and the live action.     For some reason last night and this morning, if I sit down to do something, I've felt so drowsy, gosh I hate it.    I'm blaming it on all the rain..lol Poor Jon he has had some truck troubles, the usual mileage breakdowns.  Plus electronic issues.  He had to have his key reprogrammed.    Sometimes I wi

  Things are better between my late husbands mother Pat.    I realized I had one of my depression spells that caused me to just go off on her.    Here lately I've been having those nightmares where I relive Jeff's death, sometimes I have to come to realization that it was ten years ago.    Still feel a little off. Sure hope and pray that you are ok my dear Stephen and everyone there is fine too. I think about all of you, you know you're always my main concern.  Weather has been pretty nice, all my plants are doing great.   Got all Jonathan's graduation invitations out tonight. I sent you one because you have been there for all of us, when we truly needed you.  Please stay safe and have a good day!   Love and prayers Stephen Sally

   We've have been officially accused of using Pat.     The breaking point all started when Kristy decided that William had to have a graduation party because Jonathan was having One for his graduation from highschool.  Mostly because I was having it over at Mom and dads.   I just blew up,have had enough of it and told her how I felt all the rotten things that Kristy pulled .    That was when the kids and I were using her to get her money.     That was it, I told her that if in all the years, everything we've gone through and what the kids and have done in the past, never proved we cared about her. Then we are done.    Tired of being hurt and these kids going through it all.    Think I would be glad, but I'm really hurt that we were even accused of it.     I'm glad that those who know us, know we aren't that way.     Hope you are doing OK Stephen and the family are doing well too Love and prayers Sally

   Heading off to bed , got to work tomorrow making Tie-Dye shirts. I guess I spelled it right, too tired to change it.    Hope and pray you are doing ok STEPHEN and the family is well.  Kind of feeling down for dad, he lost a childhood friend today, the one he always met at Bob Evans. Calvin Graham.   My sister had to tell me , dad never said a word.   If it's alright, could you keep dad and the Graham family in your prayers, I deeply appreciate it.     My love and prayers for you too Sally

   The most forgetful week so far has happened to me this week. Seems like a very off week.    Everyone in my family has had something go wrong.  Me, I was a few minutes late to teach my class on Monday, but it turned out pretty good, although, I forgot to pick up the gift that I asked Debra to make, she crocheted a beautiful butterfly tissue holder and I just plum forgot to grab it before I left the classroom Monday, felt really stupid. Thing was I looked right at it.  I think my brain was napping.    I pray the week gets better. I think it's been such a miserable week thus far because of the murder in Cleveland, that just broke my heart. Glad it's over, no matter what it would have ended tragically.   Hope and pray that you and everyone are doing fine Stephen.   You are always on my mind. My love to you, hugs for your family. Sally

   Happy Easter Stephen Anthony SCHIZZ, much love and many prayers sweet man, have a wonderful, blessed and glorious day with your family!

 

 Easter has got to be my favorite because it's the renewal of life  The love our Lord demonstrated. The feeling goes beyond my limits of understanding, indescribable joy!   Today was very beautiful, hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the weather and that the weather in Massachusetts was lovely.   Prayed it was a good day for you especially Stephen!   I got my Easter cards out a little late, but here's hoping you get it tomorrow. If it comes on Monday, it will extend the weekend for you just a bit Schizz.   I think in everything that has happened in the world today, we need a little sunshine! Love and prayers always Yours Sally

Another Legendary Boston Band loses a member John Warren Geils  founder of J Geils passes at 71.   I didn't follow their history as close as I did Boston, but I did enjoy their music.   So here's to their memory

  Hello Stephen   Good morning sweetheart   Pray that you and everyone are fine, looks like you all might  get rain too today.  It's warmer, that's a good thing. Had an interesting weekend, had about forty seven kids in two hours for the "Slime Bar" at Michael's.   I guess slime is the newest thing for kids. What made it different is they decorated with all kinds of craft items , mainly glitter.  It seemed like a long day , the kids that came in had fun.  Yesterday, I went in to teach a class but nobody showed up. It was such a nice day. Nobody wants to be shut up inside I think.    I'm wishing you a good day, stay safe and careful. Love and prayers to you and everyone! Beautiful week for Easter. The weekend looks beautiful too:) Always thinking about you SCHIZZ Sally

Love these songs              

  Wanted to dedicate an old song that describes the special bond between two people.  Maybe it sounds a little corny, but the songs says it best.   Sometimes I get confused and worried about what is going on in Stephen's world because I can't see it, so I have to trust that things are ok, but I trust in myself, which isn't what I need to do, got to trust in God and His will. Of course a whole lot of praying that He will show me way.   Believe it or not, this is what came to me today.   Stephen Anthony, hope and pray that you and everyone is ok. Especially you because you are always in my heart, in my mind, my whole being,always, always with great love and concern.  The past sometimes messes me up and my thoughts get clouded .  You mean so much to me, that hasn't and will never change. Love to you and everyone, please forgive my carelessness. Sally

   Just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who reads my blogs. It is so appreciated!    Love and prayers to everyone, especially Stephen Anthony SCHIZZ and his beautiful family in Amesbury and across the miles! Sally

When a heart aches especially around others, is to hide it with smiles. It's really easy to do because a smile makes a person feel better. Believe me I have had plenty of practice.   A song keeps playing in my head. Especially when you have lost at love as many times.  The hurt is unbearable when I can't believe anymore.

   It was the band out of the mid seventies that I made a connection with.    Playing for the first time together, Boston was able to send their debut album soaring.   I think about the old band and how over time what some of the old members were doing.   To me there wasn't such a blow as Brad Delp losing his struggle with depression.   Going into town last weekend , I learned of yet another loss to the legendary band, Sib Hashian , the drummer . He passed away during his performance on a cruise as part as the "Legends Of Rock" tour. He was 67.    Time I know vexes all of us as we grow older with it , the thought of his passing and how he was doing something he dearly loved is in itself a peaceful thought.  We can all say that is the way it should be.   So, I just want to share the songs that " Boston " played together that made these men a part of so many lives, including this one. Thank you for sharing your talent guys!

    Everybody is doing better, sure hope and pray everyone is fine in Amesbury, MA.  Well all the family , wherever they may be Stephen.    I'm hanging in there, like that kitty in the once upon a time poster they used to sell.    Had a good Saturday at Michael's,both classes were Easter crafts.   I have to do a Kids Club week event for the children to do gifts for Mothers day. It sounds pretty fun.     Anyway, still battling sinus and tiredness, but doing ok.  Dad was grumbling about going to the doctor this week, he's worried about having to take another pill.   Mom seems like herself and my Aunts are doing well.     Thinking about you and everyone, always praying for you and sending my love on the whispers of happiness to kiss your ear Sally
