                <description><![CDATA[ This is such a wonderful idea, especially since I'm swamped at work and don't have much time here on dA. Can't leave tho. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/psychotic.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":psychotic:" title="Psychotic" /> Why is that? Too addicted I guess!?. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" /><br /><br />The first 10 people who post in this journal will be featured - post anything you want. I will go though your gallery and choose three of what I consider to be your best (or my favorite) deviations, and feature them along with your name in my journal. It will remain there for a month.<br /><br />There's a catch, but it's simple. All you have to do is the same thing! Put this in your journal after you post here, and feature 10 people yourself. I will post thumbnails in my journal (:thumb#of deviation: ). I just like finding artists and giving them publicity if I can. This was a nice way to do that. I think it is a great idea so post away and I will hit your gallery and post what I like!<br /><br />Additionally I will post some of MY all-time favorites...SEPARATE from pay it forward.

Weatherford.<br /><br />I still like what it has to say no matter who wrote it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br /><br />SLOW DANCE<br /><br /><br />Have you ever watched kids<br />On a merry-go-round?<br /><br />Or listened to the rain<br />Slapping on the ground?<br /><br />Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?<br />Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?<br /><br />You better slow down.<br /><br />Don't dance so fast.<br /><br />Time is short.<br /><br />The music won't last.<br /><br />Do you run through each day<br />On the fly?<br /><br />When you ask How are you?<br />Do you hear the reply?<br /><br /><br />When the day is done<br />Do you lie in your bed<br /><br />With the next hundred chores<br />Running through your head?<br /><br />You'd better slow down<br /><br />Don't dance so fast.<br /><br />Time is short.<br /><br />The music won't last.<br /><br />Ever told your child,<br />We'll do it tomorrow?<br /><br />And in your haste,<br />Not see his sorrow?<br /><br />Ever lost touch,<br />Let a good friendship die<br /><br />Cause you never had time<br />To call and say,"Hi"<br /><br /><br />You'd better slow down.<br /><br />Don't dance so fast.<br /><br />Time is short.<br /><br />The music won't last.<br /><br />When you run so fast to get somewhere<br />You miss half the fun of getting there.<br /><br />When you worry and hurry through your day,<br />It is like an unopened gift....<br /><br />Thrown away.<br /><br />Life is not a race.<br /><br />Do take it slower<br /><br />Hear the music<br /><br />Before the song is over.<br /><br />~ By David L.

<br />
Live thy Life,<br />
Young and old,<br />
Like yon oak,<br />
Bright in spring,<br />
Living gold;<br />
<br />
<br />
Summer-rich<br />
Then; and then<br />
Autumn-changed<br />
Soberer-hued<br />
Gold again.<br />
<br />
<br />
All his leaves<br />
Fall'n at length,<br />
Look, he stands,<br />
Trunk and bough<br />
Naked strength.<br /><br /><br><a href="http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=505326"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/505326.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br><a href="http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br></br></br></a></br> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My Mom always taught me if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all. These words encourage me. I hope they encourage you.<br />
<br />
Make it a good week.<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Ann<br /><br />"Who do you turn to when the only person in the world that can stop you from crying, is exactly the one making you." cry?<br />
<br />
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference." Elie Wiesel <br />
<br />
What is love but that which poisons the body, clouds the mind, yet invigorates the soul". Adam Murphy<br />
<br />
"Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house, you can never tell." Joan Crawford<br />
<br />
The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life." Sir Hugh Walpole <br />
<br />
It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Alfred Lord Tennyson <br />
<br />
Being deeply loved someone gives you strength, While loving someone deeply gives you courage." Lao Tzu<br />
<br />
Key To My Heart<br />
<br />
I had closed the door upon my heart<br />
And wouldn't let anyone in,<br />
I had trusted and loved only to be hurt<br />
But, that would never happen again.<br />
<br />
I had locked the door and tossed the key<br />
As hard, and as far as I could,<br />
Love would never enter there again,<br />
My heart was closed for good.<br />
<br />
Then you came into my life<br />
And made me change my mind,<br />
Just when I thought that tiny key<br />
was impossible to find.<br />
<br />
That's when you held out your hand<br />
And proved to me I was wrong,<br />
Inside your palm was the key to my heart...<br />
You had it all along.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I can upload photos from work. Not a good solution, but a solution nonetheless. Not very chatty or artsy.<br />
<br />
I went to visit a dear friend today. He was my son's old football coach.  David believed in my son when no one else did, not even my son. My son is a fantastic athlete now, in part because David believed in him and in part because of his wonderful coaching. David had pancreatic cancer and he passed away tonight at 7pm Central. I will miss him.<br />
<br />
This year I've lost my Uncle, my Mom, and two dear friends.<br />
<br />
Please remember as long as you are alive "you can make a difference."<br />
<br />
Have a good week.<br />

Still can't upload anything to dA. Am working with the help desk and a friend. The whole thing makes me sad. I guess I'll work on painting today. I really was hoping to upload some photos.<br />
My Flickr site is here: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/">[link]</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I put all kinds of photos on Flickr. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/devartlogo.gif" width="32" height="17" alt=":devart:" title="deviantART" /> is my art site. It all just makes me sad. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/no.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":no:" title="No, I disagree!" /><br />
<br />
Sorry.<br />
<br />
Have a Good Weekend.<br />

Most days are 8AM - 6-7PM. Usually too tired to do anything but catch dinner. I STILL appreciate all my friends here. You always make it worthwhile.<br />

I can no longer upload art submissions.  My computer is broken. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  However, I can still upload photos to my flickr site which uses the same screen name at flickr dot com. I'll continue to do that until I can upload to dA again, which may be awhile. It's always something.  I think they call that Murphy's Law!<br />
<br />
BTW, Thanks for the 5,000 pageviews.  I'm nothing without my friends and I appreciate each and everyone of you. Thanks again. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/party.gif" width="50" height="20" alt=":party:" title="Party" /><br />
P.S.  I promise to fix my computer soon.  Friends that know me, know I keep my promises.<br /><br />Ann<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I thought this poem was still appropriate. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/flirty.gif" width="30" height="26" alt=":flirty:" title="Flirtatious" /><br /><br />Beautiful Women - By Audrey Hepburn<br />
<br />
<br />
Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her "beauty tips."  It was read at her funeral years later. <br />
<br />
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness<br />
<br />
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.<br />
<br />
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.<br />
<br />
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.<br />
<br />
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.<br />
<br />
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.<br />
<br />
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.<br />
<br />
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Ann<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ The first 10 people who post in this journal will be featured - post anything you want. I will go though your gallery and choose three of what I consider to be your best (or my favorite) deviations, and feature them along with your name in my journal. It will remain there for a month.<br />
<br />
There's a catch, but it's simple. All you have to do is the same thing! Put this in your journal after you post here, and feature 10 people yourself. Remember, if you don't post in your own journal, you will not be featured. I will post thumbnails in my journal (:thumb#of deviation: ). I just like finding artists and giving them publicity if I can. This was a nice way to do that.<br />
I think it is a great idea so post away and I will hit your gallery and post what I like!<br />
<br />
Additionally I will post some of MY all-time favorites...SEPARATE from pay it forward. Hey...it's my journal! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nana.gif" width="37" height="22" alt=":nana:" title="Nana, look what I have and you dont!" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Annabel Lee <br />
by Edgar Allan Poe <br />
<br />
It was many and many a year ago, <br />
In a kingdom by the sea, <br />
That a maiden there lived whom you may know <br />
By the name of ANNABEL LEE; <br />
And this maiden she lived with no other thought <br />
Than to love and be loved by me. <br />
<br />
I was a child and she was a child, <br />
In this kingdom by the sea; <br />
But we loved with a love that was more than love- <br />
I and my Annabel Lee; <br />
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven <br />
Coveted her and me. <br />
<br />
And this was the reason that, long ago, <br />
In this kingdom by the sea, <br />
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling <br />
My beautiful Annabel Lee; <br />
So that her highborn kinsman came <br />
And bore her away from me, <br />
To shut her up in a sepulchre <br />
In this kingdom by the sea. <br />
<br />
<br />
The angels, not half so happy in heaven, <br />
Went envying her and me- <br />
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know, <br />
In this kingdom by the sea) <br />
That the wind came out of the cloud by night, <br />
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee. <br />
<br />
But our love it was stronger by far than the love <br />
Of those who were older than we- <br />
Of many far wiser than we- <br />
And neither the angels in heaven above, <br />
Nor the demons down under the sea, <br />
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul <br />
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee. <br />
<br />
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams <br />
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; <br />
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes <br />
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; <br />
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side <br />
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride, <br />
In the sepulchre there by the sea, <br />
In her tomb by the sounding sea.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ She Walks In Beauty <br />
by George Gordon, Lord Byron <br />
<br />
She walks in Beauty, like the night <br />
Of cloudless climes and starry skies; <br />
And all that's best of dark and bright <br />
Meet in her aspect and her eyes: <br />
Thus mellowed to that tender light <br />
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies. <br />
<br />
One shade the more, one ray the less, <br />
Had half impaired the nameless grace <br />
Which waves in every raven tress, <br />
Or softly lightens o'er her face; <br />
Where thoughts serenely sweet express, <br />
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. <br />
<br />
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, <br />
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, <br />
The smiles that win, the tints that glow, <br />
But tell of days in goodness spent, <br />
A mind at peace with all below, <br />
A heart whose love is innocent!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ "It is the Soldier"<br />
           -By Father Dennis Edward O'Brien<br />
                United States Marine Corps<br />
                <br />
<br />
It is the soldier, not the reporter,<br />
Who has given us freedom of the press.<br />
<br />
It is the soldier, not the poet,<br />
Who has given us freedom of speech.<br />
<br />
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,<br />
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.<br />
<br />
It is the soldier, not the lawyer,<br />
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.<br />
<br />
It is the soldier, who salutes the flag,<br />
Who serves beneath the flag,<br />
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,<br />
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.<br />
<br />
This American Veteran's Day: thank a veteran, thank one currently serving, pray for the families that have lost the real heroes, the service member that made the ultimate sacrifice and never came home.<br />
<br />
Pax,<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ If <br />
by Rudyard Kipling <br />
<br />
If you can keep your head when all about you <br />
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; <br />
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, <br />
But make allowance for their doubting too: <br />
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, <br />
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, <br />
Or being hated don't give way to hating, <br />
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; <br />
<br />
If you can dream---and not make dreams your master; <br />
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim, <br />
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster <br />
And treat those two impostors just the same:. <br />
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken <br />
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, <br />
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, <br />
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools; <br />
<br />
If you can make one heap of all your winnings <br />
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, <br />
And lose, and start again at your beginnings, <br />
And never breathe a word about your loss: <br />
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew <br />
To serve your turn long after they are gone, <br />
And so hold on when there is nothing in you <br />
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" <br />
<br />
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, <br />
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch, <br />
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, <br />
If all men count with you, but none too much: <br />
If you can fill the unforgiving minute <br />
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, <br />
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, <br />
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son! <br />
<br />
Still sound advice today for men OR women. Enjoy <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />

The song "Vincent" is also one of my personal favorites sung by Don McLean from his 1971 American Pie album from United Artists. The chord progression is included here, just in case you play guitar.<br />

<br />
Starry starry [G]night, paint your palette [Am]blue and grey<br />
Look out on a [C]summer's day with [D7]eyes that know the darkness in my [G]soul<br />
Shadows on the [G]hills, sketch the trees and the [Am]daffodils<br />
Catch the breeze and the [C]winter chills, in [D7]colors on the snowy linen [G]land [C] [G]<br />
<br />
Now I under[Am]stand [D7]what you tried to [G]say to me<br />
[Em]How you suffered for you [Am7]sanity[D7] How you tried to set them [Em]free<br />
They would not listen they did [A7]not know [Am7]how, [D7] perhaps they'll listen [G]now<br />
<br />
<br />
Starry starry [G]night, flaming flowers that [Am]brightly blaze<br />
Swirling clouds in [C]violet haze [D7]reflect in Vincent's eyes of china [G]blue<br />
Colors changing [G]hue, morning fields of amber [Am]grain<br />
Weathered faces [C]lined in pain are [D7]soothed beneath the artist's loving [G]hand [C] [G]<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
[G]For they could not [Am7]love you, [D7]but still your love was [G]true [F#] [E]<br />
And when no [Am7]hope was left in sight, on that [Cm]starry starry night<br />
You [G]took your life as [F7]lovers often [E7]do,<br />
But I [Am7]could have told you, Vincent,<br />
This [C]world was never meant for one as [D7]beautiful as you<br />
<br />
Starry, starry [G]night, portraits hung in [Am]empty halls<br />
Frameless heads on [C]nameless walls with [D7]eyes that watch the world and can't for[G]get.<br />
Like the stranger that you've [G]met, the ragged man in [Am]ragged clothes<br />
The silver thorn of [C]bloody rose, lie [D7]crushed and broken on the virgin [G]snow [C] [G]<br />
<br />
Now I th[Am]ink I know [D7]what you tried to [G]say to me<br />
[Em]How you suffered for you [Am7]sanity[D7] How you tried to set them [Em]free<br />
They would not listen they're [A7]not listening [Am7]still [D7]<br />
