    Since coming onto the MSE boards I have always read the OS daily, have posted a couple of times but always want to catch up on what everyone is doing.

    I think it is a lovely place, especially for people like me, I moved 250 miles away from my family and friends to be with my OH and do not have any 'real' friends here, but look on the posters on here as my virtual friends. I speak to my OH about posts, he often asks "what have your ladies been up to today then"

    I think the love and support for Smokey on here has shown just how much this board can mean.

    I left my job two weeks ago as I just could not cope with the stress any longer! am looking for another one though, since then I have tried to keep in with the OS way, have done loads of baking......weetabix loaf and brownies, plus loads of Twinks hob nobs.....but just can't seem to get into the cleaning thing. Too many library books to read oh and have taken up crochet again cos DD is making me a granny in June :eek:

    Anyways all I wanted to say is I love this daily, please don't let any arguements get in the way and please everyone keep on posting (I for one will miss you if you do!)

    Will be thinking of Smokey and the children tomorrow.

    Dazi xx

    Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
    They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
    Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
    Possessing and caressing me.

    Jai Guru De Va Om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world.
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world.

    Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
    They call me on and on across the universe,
    Thoughts meander like a restless wind
    Inside a letter box they
    Tumble blindly as they make their way
    Across the universe

    Jai Guru De Va Om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world.
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world.

    Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
    Through my open ears inviting and inciting me.
    Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns,
    Ands calls me on and on across the universe

    At sad times, I seek comfort in music, Lennon and McCartney in particular. The last verse of this says more than I can ever hope to.

    Take care Smokey.

    Just lit my candle. What a beautiful site. Thank you to DOGROSE for the link.
