Horizon

The glory of the trees is no longer there
The horizons view is rather bare 

Where golden colours of harvest was ablaze
Winters winds have come and swept it away 

And now we await the moment when
The snow will come and descend 

A blanket of white, crisp and still

Autumns death giving way as it does
To the hope of a fresh start 

A new beginning
Where the whispers of spring will soon fill the horizon once again

Words used in England

                                                 Words Composed of letters in various forms, can be some of the most powerful weapons, as well as the most lovely encouragement, that we need to hear, to carry on. Speaking English, you would think that one would find it quite simple to go from one English speaking country to the next. Surprisingly there are many words and expressions that one should really know and understand before entering another country or risk appearing a fool in certain situations. I have to say that people from England, when they speak, make everything sound lovely. They use terms that sound less improper and not so gruff. I think the overall feeling I had was that they sound very well educated and socialized.... and I, well not so much the case....haha Here is a list of words and expression commonly used amoung those in England that I have been composing since I got there. It took me awhile to catch on to a few in public when they had been used and I had no idea

Tea & Life

Tea. A delicious warm drink. Also known in England as a Cuppa.... How I enjoy drinking tea. Truth be told, the frequency of which I partake in this rather common and daily habit for some, is quite diminished as of late. I asked myself why this was, as I was soaking up the moonlit sky, on my rather brisk walk this evening. Tea.  Warm, comforting and even more delicious accompanied by scones, clotted cream & jam.... just saying. Of an evening with my Aunt, watching various British period programs,we have been known to consume at least 3 very, very, large pots of tea. My ability to drink tea is rather astonishing. Yet the kettle seldom used and the tea gone more untouched as of late. Why?                                                                                                   Simply put. Tea is most enjoyable with friends.  Going round to a friends and them popping the kettle on before you even have your shoes off. Finding a place to enjoy tea and cak

A watch is always too fast or too slow.

'Oh! Do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch.' -Mansfield Park                    -Jane Austen  One month ago I stepped onto British soil. I had no idea what to expect when I walked through the arrival gate. Leaving everything I knew behind; the comfort and peace that comes with familiarity, family, friends, my own car and independence was chucked out the window. I had to breath deep and pray it was going to be all worth it. Without a doubt I can say this decision was the right one, no matter what lack of sleep, introverted time and 'control' (not having my car :/ ) may suggest to me was a foolish decision, I know that the friends, experiences, growth in maturity and serving God this year will provide me with enough sweet to help with the bitter taste leaving home brought.  Thank you to all of you who helped me make this very difficult and amazing choice. Through your wisdom, listening ears, shoulders
