Day: November 15, 2018
. . . we can learn to watch the storm pass.
“You are always going to meet disturbances outside yourself,
it’s the experience of living.
There will be dark days and there will be days of laughter
and somewhere in between you’ll create a healthy balance
within yourself and call it a life.
We can’t stop the storm, but we can learn to watch it pass.”
~ Nikki Rowe

Pay It Forward Thursday- November 15, 2018
Be sure to come and share the poem or post you loved best this last week! Give that writer some exposure (4,400 followers) at The Go Dog Go Cafe!!!
The baristas at Go Dog Go Cafe are big fans of Pay It Forward Thursdays. We think it is a great opportunity to give a shout-out to another writer who has wowed us or creatively inspired us. However, Pay It Forward Thursday has not been getting a lot of love lately, which we think is a shame. Dear reader, you are losing out on some great writing! We’ve decided to shake things up a little and the baristas will be reblogging our Pay It Forward picks for the week directly onto GDG Cafe so you don’t miss out on our favorites.
We like this idea so much that we will also reblog the posts you think were the best thing you read this week if you drop a link below. You are invited to post one link to one specific post (600 words or less please!) from someone…

SUGAR AT NIGHT😘
When your heart…
That first face
Please, Please Do Not Miss the most loving and beautiful tribute I have ever read to a Mom in – THAT FIRST FACE!
She was the first face I saw.
I fell in love
But didn’t know it.
Those hazel eyes gazing down at me
Soothing my abrupt entrance
Into a much colder world
Than the one I had existed in
For months.
I quickly came to realize
That she was my world.
Her beloved countenance
Changing over the years
But always
Full of love
Full of pride.
She has been
My teacher
My cheerleader
My taskmaster
My confidante.
Providing an example
Of what to strive for
Being supportive of the choices I made
Even ones that she knew would hurt me
Assuring me
That kindness doesn’t make one weak
And always making it clear
That the world was my oyster
That I alone could make my world
What I wished it to be.
I have been so lucky
To have had such a wonderful person
To guide my days
To know…

My Vision Of Heaven – A Poem By Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet
In the end
We will all be
Alone in the dark
When we cross that bridge
Will we find sweet dreams and starlight
Or will we face the ugly truth
Of our darkest days
Will we find our fortress
Or just another unsafe haven
I will be searching
For a place in the woods
A place not easy to find
Where I can hear
The sounds of the seasons
And hopefully free my mind
A place where time has no meaning
Where I can sleep by the fire and wake
As the sky is painted by the sunrise
On a Scottish morning
A place where I can read your words
And reach out
To touch your voice with my mind
This is my vision of Heaven

Quench Me
We met in a tempest
and kindled a furnace of love,
I drank of her deeply,
yet my thirst was unquenched,
and I knew that I must drink of her again.

the roads I’ve taken

not bad to be me
