skip to main | skip to sidebar Entries (RSS) The Lotus Pages Monday, November 23, 2009 Deep Within A fellow blogger & friend, was feeling fearful of posting a poem of hers....so I told her I will post one of mine as well in the hope it gives her courage :) I hope you do my dear I am sure its a wonderful one!This poem was written in 2002 for my present husband :)I'd like to reach for youFeel you close to meYour hands caressingSoothing away all pain I'd like to hold youHug you close to meTender kisses on my lipsSoft looks searching me deep Wish to let you in my heartControl my thoughts day 'n' nightStill something within resistsFear keeps me rooted still I search the sky deep 'n' darkSeeking answers I can not findHoping something will ariseThat will clear my troubled mind Posted by Melissa aka Equidae 0 comments Labels: poems Friday, November 20, 2009 Progress Since I stopped working, I have seen a sudden progress in Gregory, for which I am mighty pleased.he started babbling more and now says mama (to the correct person) and now starting to say dada & Glegoly :)he's gained more confidence and goes to play from one room to another alone because of the above, he also started letting go of furniture for a second or two and stands without support.he is eating more solid food and eating especially much more of what we eat alone with his hands even though no teeth yet!he's learnt how to get down stairs,bed & sofa without fallingstarted to enjoy listening to me reading booksunderstands what I am saying for e.g i tell him that am gonna catch him he runs away or ask where is monster he locates his toy.I feel so happy and feel so much that I did the right decision. Generally, what I am doing is giving him a free hand...so rather than scolding him for going up the stairs I encourage him, tell him to be careful and showed him how to get down without falling. I tell him all I am doing, whether washing plates, cooking dinner or dressing or counting each step we make. I also identify everything with its proper name for him and when babbling I reply back as if in a conversation. I also take him out once or twice a day and let him run even if he will get dirty. It makes him so much happier and relaxed!I can't wait to have him toddling around really lol and saying more words and knowing I will be there for all of this makes my head go high up in the clouds with dreams & happiness.

Gosh I haven't looked at them diaries in ages so thanks mamakat for giving me the excuse to browse and get memories back :) and without further ado here is my entry :Sept 1995Days pass quickly and sometimes we don't realise it. Summer will soon end and also our hols. We'll begin a new leaf - school & autumn. I am growing as everybody and hope for beautiful moments. Soon I'll begin working and hope to be satisfied with what I'll be doing. Maybe one day my dreams will come true and have a happy lifetime. But my wish can never come true. For I'll never see the whole world in peace as one big family. Someday people will cry for the old days when things were hard but everybody happy. I already wish to go back to those days and I'm sure many others too but you will never see these pretty days NEVER.Probably tbe best times in a person's lifetime is childhood. Because during these days or better years fun is the main thing you have. I as a child was and am still happy but wish for a better life. Things will and must change but I think for better or a worst world? Will there be place for the animals and forests and peace? is there a way in which we can have a better future? I really hope so, maybe one day I'll go to Africa where I will learn the habits and habitats of several animals and help to save them as well as take care of children who are poor or sick and help them in every need. Maybe one day the world will be better. One Day!The diary starts from August and wondered when reading it how childish I still was at that age LOL with my fantasies of meeting and talking to a footballer (soccer player) and of the days spent with my cousin Daniela :) and than I came across this and it was quite a shock reading it! I had forgotten it completely....forgotten that at that age I was already crazy about saving the natural world of hoping yet knowing that a better world is very difficult to achieve.

Today I tried to change my hair do.....I can't say I feel inspired, what I need is those people from discovery of What not to wear to help me out...can some one ask them to come to Malta for me?Other than that we had a fab day :) Greg played with his cousin (bigger by 4 months) and enjoyed it and after we went to Buskett ( our kinda park/forest) and he loved crawling under the pine needles and eating in the sun.... it was nice, quiet and relaxing. I didn't take the camera with me :( and Greg didn't nap at all...but since he wasn't cranky we loved the day.Also believe that this time for real he might soon have a tooth... he's drooling, gums are white and biting everything he can get his hands on and if nothing is available his fingers will do!Other random news:possibly starting to volunteer at a dog sanctuary next week or the one afterbought Greg some shoes for home (no central heating in Malta) and is suddenly out of themdoing yoga home practicetonight am cooking a chicken pie and ravioli (do you get these in the US?) Posted by Melissa aka Equidae 5 comments Labels: my life Monday, November 16, 2009 tired... No it's not my puppy...he is so quiet and easy to care that he doesn't tire me at all. The site me and my friend have been working on is up and running, we got 46 fans to speak of on facebook and its great. But you get no feedback from Maltese.....and I suddenly feel tired and discouraged.... had so so many ideas and yet..... no one talks to you, sends a comment, continue the discussions I tried to start and frankly I just feel like closing it all down right now!Greg suffered most coz of this as had no patience with him and than I felt guilty and now he is soundly asleep.....and I am here wallowing in my misery. -sigh-any suggestions are welcome! Posted by Melissa aka Equidae 6 comments Labels: mamascircle, my life Fawwara Yesterday we had our second walk of the season :) it was a long walk...so much that we had forgotten how long! but it was worth it of course. Fawwara off Dingli Cliffs is a nice scenic walk, with two beautiful chapels mid way through, valleys and hidden farmhouses. Posted by Melissa aka Equidae 1 comments Labels: my Malta Saturday, November 14, 2009 Dingli Cliffs to Simblija Last Sunday, we went for a walk from Dingli Cliffs to the mediavel village of Simblija which ot discovered about 10 years ago. Its a nice walk through farmland and cliffs that lasted about 2 hours.The village itself can more be called a hamlet as it has what was 2 houses built within the cliffs and a chapel with a central courtyard. There aren't a lot of pics guys so sorry but I was babywearing ahah not picture taking! farmland with typical field walling us with our friends the villageGreg's beauty smile Cloudy sky Posted by Melissa aka Equidae 5 comments Labels: my Malta Older Posts Subscribe to: Posts (Atom) Get the Yoga Journal Pose of the Day widget and many other great free widgets at Widgetbox!
