Well I had written that I would have a new blog out and posted. Well it's online now. It's at the following URL:

SeaStories-SpookAW

For now if anyone wants to submit a sea story to me they can send it to the following email address:

email me

If I can figure out how to get submisions done automatically on a blog then I will add the features to this blog.

For now you can still do comments.....

Blog statistics

        I just wanted you all to know that the statistics are way off right now. I am trying to get the company that does the statistics to get me back the original statistics from the trial period. In the trial period I had about 64 visitors and they were from 14 different countries. When the trial period ended it shut the statistics off and then it was started back up and I lost the stats. I have enjoyed knowing how many visitors have come to this site. Especially all the visitors from the different countries. Some of these countries I have been to and either lived in or traveled in.
        Hopefully I will get them reinstated, but it's not looking good at this time.

Happiness is...

        Happiness is sitting in front of the computer intently typing. A full cup of coffee sitting there beside your computer and typing the morning emails. Then watching your big cat jump over your shoulder and successfully land on the small table thus clearing the full cup of coffee. Rather gracefully I might add. He then is able to watch the birds out the window and I am still sitting here in peace loving my computer, the world and my emails.
        Happiness is getting up to an uncluttered trailer in the morning. It would have been nice if I set the timer on the coffee pot, but wanted to see if I could sleep in some.
        Happiness is getting everything done outside the trailer, the store, other errands so that you don't have to go out in the heat and can relax the day away....writing or doing other things in the trailer.
        Happiness is being loved by someone even if they live in a foreign country. So very far away.
        Happiness is being happy to be alive just one more day after open heart surgery 3 years ago next month. Also, never taking for granted the beauty of this earth that we have, no matter were we are. Being ever grateful for what we have and being satisfied with what we are given in life. I hope on a daily basis to not take these for granted myself.
