What is a Vision?
Who knows what a vision really is? To me a vision is something that we want to see and hopefully come to fruition some way or how to show that we have lived the way that we want and wanted. I believe that I have several visions, and some have actually occurred. My first vision was to one day get my advanced degrees, my second was to write a poetry book and get it published even though it didn't sell. I am trying this one again for I wrote a few Art picture books and a text/workbook for Barnes and Nobels Book Nook in the form of eBooks, but so far, no takers, but still hoping.

We Will Never Forget!
I was just waking up that morning after working a double-shifting weekend as a nurse. Mondays were always like a lost day for me back then for working those long weekends. September 11, 2001, was a day that is another Day of Infamy in the history books just like Pearl Harbor had become. My memory is while sitting on the couch watching 'Good Morning America' and seeing those planes flying really low I was wondering why are they flying so low and then crash and smoke. I just stared at the screen as kids today watch their screens. Always remember.

Locker Days
It's that time of year again. Those days of lockers that seemed to fail you one way or another. For me it never seems to fail when I had to ride the bus, and it was running late for that meant you will be running late, and that meant for some reason the darn locker would not open for you remembered your combination, nothing was stuck that stopped it from opening. The warning bell went off and you try a few more times maybe you went a tad too far in clicks, but the final bell rang, and you give it one good kick, and it opens. You practically had to run to homeroom before the classroom door shuts, and you are marked absent for no fault of your own. How many of you remember such things happen to you in those halcyon days of yore, come on be honest.

Pooh meets Paddington
Pooh and Paddington went back down the path. Roo was so excited to have his ball back. They ran into the others for they said they couldn't find it, and this was when Roo showed his ball to them. He said another little squirrel found it and was playing with it. "Guess what Mama. I have another little friend now." "That's great, Roo." They all played a short game of catch before they all went their separate ways. Kanga and Roo had to go home for it was time for Roo's nap; the others continued on their mission for Paddington.

Pooh meets Paddington
Pooh and Paddington made a new friend that day in search of Roo's ball for they slowly and quietly walked up to the little squirrel, and they told him "That little ball belongs to a friend of ours where did you get it?" "It was just lying there and no one was around so I picked it up." Well, my little friend chased another squirrel to see if he wanted to play, but ran away. He came back and his ball was gone. "Oh, I'm sorry here you can have it back." Pooh and Paddington went back. "We found it."

Pooh meets Paddington
On they went in search of Roo's ball. They split up Pooh, Roo and Paddington went one way and Piglet, Eeyore and Kanga went the other. They scoured the area. "You know Pooh that ball could not have traveled too far, but maybe a little animal picked it up. I see a little squirrel over there for Kanga did say Roo went after one little squirrel. Maybe that was so that little squirrel could take the ball." Pooh thought and said, "Let's see." They sneaked up on this little squirrel and they saw that he did have a little ball.

Pooh meets Paddington
As the small gang was walking through the Hundred Acre Wood Paddington was the first to spot two characters up ahead on the path. Paddington asked Pooh who these two were. Pooh looked up and seen that it was Kanga and Roo, and they both seemed to in a tizzy. Pooh asked Kanga what's the matter? Roo can't seem to find his ball. It rolled somewhere when Roo chased a squirrel. We will help you look for Roo's ball for it couldn't have rolled fall for this ground is slightly flat. Maybe it went this or that way. Let's go!
