Tell me somethin good, yeah yeah

OK Nova. I am going to tell you something about someone so good that she's positively inspirational. Now, have you got your big green jug mug and plenty of ice in. Sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. Once upon a time there was a man who was so down that he couldn't face going out and meeting the World too often. He had been a very confident and positive person but events in his life meant that he had lost almost all his self esteem. He met a woman who lived far away in a different country where people talk in curious accents, eat foods like "grits", "Canadian Bacon" and Chowder; and live in places with names like St Louis that are pronounced Saint Lewis - whoever heard such a thing. The woman befriended the man and spent many hours working on cheering him up. She would laugh and cry with him. Scold him and amuse and entertain him. She told him about her friends, especially her friend the Cossack who she met at her local bar every now and then. They spent many many hours talking and he couldn't help but notice that she had some problems herself. But she played these down such was her determination to make her new friend a more cheerful person. He told her that he liked a particular type of chocolate and she immediately sent him a huge box. As time went by the man began to be more confident and started to see the world more positively. His friend in the foreign land was such an integral part of this that soon he found that he just had to see her every possible day that he could. They both had webcams and soon their conversations took on a new and wonderful dimension. At last they could actually see each other. There on his screen was a flame haired beauty who, like their great heroine, Maude, was always pleased to see her visitor and comforted him making him feel the most important man in the World. She made him laugh as she cannot sit still and is forever disappearing into one room or another shouting "Keep talking Babydoll"! She punctuates their discussions with delicious explosions of expletives as one of her three cats sinks its claws into her or parks himself in front of her webcam. She thinks nothing of suddenly darting off and bringing him a hat, or dress to comment on. Her laughter is infectious and they have both been known to gurgle and giggle like demented children He is so grateful to her for helping him and being one of his closest friends. He knows that he can trust her with any secret and has often confided his hopes and fears to her. Now he goes out and meets people at his local Cathedral, entertaining them with stories of the writing of the Magna Carta. He sees many of his friend's fellow countrymen and women there. They often make him laugh, but when he hears their accents he is immediately transported to a secret place where he and his friend from St Louis go and cheer each other up. This lady is so special that I think that you will agree that she is a true inspiration. The man knows that he's not the only one to think so too. When it comes to good stories, this one is hard to beat.

youre in luck as this homefront has been quite happy and peaceable as of late. Shindigery went off without much of a hitch yesterday and a good time was had by all. tons of food, great music, and i managed to get a vid clip of Malliki making a run on the slip & slide we set up for the kids. itll be posted up on my myspace at some point today when i get it off my brothers phone onto my computer, and you can take a gander at it later on in addition to this, speaking of my brother.. ryan has made the yearly trek here for a weeks visit, and im thrilled as always to see him and spend time. (he put a bokken into mal`s eye yesterday, and there has to be payback for that!) added into the mix, is a visit with my eldest spawn as she came for Shindiggery as well and will be spending the week here too.. so far so good that this MIGHT turn into a pleasant time with her, keep yer fingers crossed dropping her off was my other brothers (the youngest whom im closest too and simply adore) wife who brought along my neice and nephew along for the ride, so i got to spend time with them as well which was great. all in all.. other than this miserable weather thats like planting yer a55 into a pizza oven.. things here are fantastic and hopefully will remain such. my thoughts are with you often honey, and if you need me for anything, all you have to do is dial.. regardless of the time sweetheart, im here. ..;squishes tight;..

Yeah now I'm singing it. lol Something good....something good...well I had a fantastic weekend. My mother in law watched my avatar and I got to take the boys out hiking and swimming. We all had a blast! And my youngest son learned how to swim. Took 2 days and now he is swimming like a fish! I'm so proud of my little man.

Well except for having my feet cemented, the best thing that's happened to me, is that my boobs are now the same size and I can wear a bra again, but refuse to do so. My puppies have been through enough and deserve their freedom! LOL So I'm having a bra burning. Wanna come? I think every woman over 50 should burn her bras! LOL Let it all hang out. Really piss off the younger generation while I laugh in the face of their censure! Are you reading a change of attitude here nova? ROFL Life's just too short, too unpredictable, and too precious to spend any more time wallowing in "oh dear's, oh my's, oh I just couldn't!'s". I'm finally old enough and to do and say what I damn well please! Besides, I'm basically harmless, so not much harm will be done! LOL So from me to you, here's something good for your soul, your heart, your battered emotions: "They call the stars novas And I've one of my own. The warmth of her friendship Has brought life to my soul, Light to my mind And love to my heart. My nova soothes me, hugs me, Keeps my soul safe And ripples my world in Understanding, and a special kind of love. From the first sound of her voice to the First glimpse of her smiling face I have been forever changed by a reality So very rare and wonderful. She is sister, mother, friend to me. She is the best part of a giving heart, The wisest thought in any head, The tease that reduces me to giggles And sends my imagination into flight. They call the stars novas And I have a one of my own."

Hi Nova, Yes it seems we have all been experinecing tough times of late but great stuff hass been happening too and as a positive person in general I always tend to look for the good that will come from a bad situation. Theis week life has been treating me well in fact for the past few weeks really and believe it or not it all changed around the day I met P1key so in less than a month I have had the news that day that my father had won his battle with cancer, I got to meet the most wonderful guy and his wife, I then went on to recieve my third payrise in as many months from work and then my daughter got a placement at Cambridge University, my other daughter starts her new job tomorrow. I won a Wii in a quiz and £75 worth of Amazon vouchers so a big turnaround wouldn't you say. I have truly been blessed of late and I hope that you will be too. Lovely to see you back here and you have been missed too by many. Huggles. Ellie :D

Nova My Luv! obviously you haven't checked your emails cause i sent you one the day i received your package..guess i should have pm'd you..i love those things you sent me and so is everyone else..you brightened my day and even after we talked about what was going on with you and your friend, you still thought of me..Lovely ME..LOL..when things get a bit back to normal we can talk about it more ok, but for now we are concentrating on you and your friend getting better. Now i had a little something arrive in my mailbox yesterday from Our P1key and that was a very nice treat.I'm finding a big box to send him and the Boss..lol.. I'm very jealous and i heard what you said to MYkl..so you two better be nice or i'm on my way to break it up..LOL Love you bunches!

The best thing that happened to me lately was potentially getting a job at the Multicultural Independent Living Center of Boston. I would write their newsletter. I am so excited for this opportunity. I've applied for two jobs there, but I've gotten rejected. However, this time I'm much more comfortable dealing with the subject matter they wish me to. I ran into the director at the annual Americans with Disabilities Act celebration picnic that we have in Massachusetts every year and he told me they wanted to start a newsletter. I replied that I could do that, and have spent a few hours today sweating over the mock-up I'm going to send him. I'll let you know how it goes.

well like you i always love good news. my good news is my son is leaving for college in a couple of weeks and i am so proud of him. After months and months of putting this website together i am finally at the end of the road! I am so happy that.

Nova Darlin it is simply wonderful to see a post here in my inbox from you. like you I was not able to be around this past week much. For one the beginning of the week, Jake borrowed Dance Revolution from one of his friends brought it home, showed me how it worked and I got on the phone Buzzed my daughter in law, told her to find a babysitter run grab us a bottle of tequila, for margaritas, come over and dance with me. She brought her best friend with her, my bestest showed up and dang we girls danced, laughed and blended Margaritas until 3AM. We had the best time. Just us girls. Mark came home from work and went to the bedroom and he stayed there :))) took me 2 days to get over all of that fun.... Then mid week I got busy with work. Right before our little dance party I had a wonderful surprise in the mail. A very dear friend and sister sent me a book. Before I was finished reading the first 10 pages I was both laughing and crying. Laughter through Tears is there a better emotion?

Oh Nova sweety i am so sorry that (as usual) I am so , so late. It is great to see you here and you know that you are in my thought and prayers as well as having your very own , personalised place in my heart! I wish I could have been there to help you through everything that is going on! Anyway as for something good, well the epidural is still helping! Not as much as at first but the pain is definitely not as bad as it was before hand so that is good! Another good thing (or should that be bad?) is that both the kids are coming home tonight! Yep we are off to a party at my sisters soon. More good news - my 2 foster nephews who my sister has had on 'short term' placement for 4 1/2 years have been found a permanent placement and a new mummy and daddy! They move tomorrow and are very excited and love their new parents, so we are having a party tonight! When we leave we will be taking Niamh with us and going straight to the airport to pick up Niall! Woo hoo My kids are coming home - I am in less pain and the world is looking bright! Love you sweetheart and love this post! Smooches! xxx

I'm having a kid free weekend! WOOT!! That's DEFINITELY a GOOD thing!!! Ironically, much of my free time from MY kids is being spent with friends and THEIR kids. Am I a glutton for punishment or what?? lmao! Yesterday was a great day.... out with Myrrdin and his daughter for the day on a roadtrip. We never made it to see Annie at the sheep thing, but we did see animals. Mostly horses. At "Mowhawk Raceway" to be precise. lol. It was my first time at the races, and it was a great time! We ate dinner overlooking the track, and stayed around for 6 races. There were a few other pitstops earlier in the day, including lunch in Woodstock, a covered bridge in Guelph, driving by Myrrdin's old art class site, and a park (and my old overnight summer camp) in Eden Mills. (I'm working on getting pics uploaded onto facebook, but it's not liking me much today). Today is really good so far too.. .I have the house to myself, and plan on getting to more painting (acrylics on canvas).... it's my new-found "release". Once I figure out what I'm in the mood to paint that is. Tomorrow I am to see some dear friends whom I haven't seen in about a year. We'll spend the day at Fanshawe Conservation area, swimming and relaxing and talking. The boys come home Tuesday, and at some point, perhaps Tues afternoon?, we'll go and see a movie (HellboyII... Oh yeah baby!), Wednesday is a soccer day for my older son, Thursday swimming, and Friday a lunch visit from online friends who are coming all the way from Australia!!! It's all good.. this summer is busy and a lot of fun... and a major reason why I haven't been around on the Lot much. I just don't have time!

Hi my friend,my best new is my husband has stopped drinking for losing weight. You know it's so boring to me that he drinks everyday.

I thought my eyes were decieveing me but that is actually my dearest Nova in my inbox. That was good! I have been worried and busy working but money is good right??? I have been working on something special for you- give me a week and check your mailbox. :) Here's something good- I love you girlfriend! Remember that universe can be nasty sometimes but what are we learning. Even through pain there is something valuable there. I wish I could tell you what but only you will know that when it comes. But you already know this sh1t!! Really remember you are loved and always have a friend in me no matter what!

So far the "good" thing that has happened to me today is that my Heavenly Father allowed me to wake up this morning to see the sun and feel the warm breeze on my skin. If any other "good"" things happen to me today I would be more than willing to share with you novataylor. God Bless!

Ok, my good thing actually happened a few days ago and IT'S REALLY GOOD!!! As you (and some of my other myLot friends) know, I have multiple sclerosis. I used to run long distance and hurdles; having MS has greatly limited me and my ability to run. I JOGGED AROUND MY DAD'S HOUSE NORMAL--no stumbling and I felt like I was in my old form...THAT is my good news I have to share!

my good thing is that i am immensely proud to be your first friend. you are the tops.
