"In ecology and Earth science, a biogeochemical cycle is a pathway by which a chemical element or molecule moves through Earth's compartments. In effect, the element is recycled, although in some cycles there may be places called reservoirs where the element is accumulated or held for a long period of time. Elements, chemical compounds, and other forms of matter are passed from one organism to another and from one part of the biosphere to another. Some of these processes are truly cycles - there is no beginning or end."
I am back in school for my second degree - finally studying to be a pre-school teacher and I have been attempting to put together my Ecology Report for the last thirty minutes or so.
So far...what you've read above is all I have managed to write down. I blame it all on my over-active imagination and my remarkable talent of recalling bits and pieces of the past when it's absolutely uncalled for and unnecessary.
Something about regeneration and never-ending cycles grabbed my attention and without meaning to, I started thinking about my "never ending cycle of boo-boos" (e.g. gawd-awful past relationships, a couple of bad career decisions, etc.).
Changes... a new set of choices - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the best.
After all, there ain't no other way but up, right?
Tanja, the resident critter, is a mommy again! She finally gave birth to four puppies in the wee hours of the morning...
I wish I could post photos of her babies but she has been overly protective of 'em. I suppose I'll let her fret over them for the meantime.
I bet when she starts worrying 'bout getting her girly figure back, she'll let them all out so they can have their snapshots taken. Lolz.

My friend Kate sent me this video and I was in awe of this man's courage and determination to live his life to the fullest...inspite of....despite of.
I have been faced with so many hurdles in life that left me scratched and bruised. I have been hurt and betrayed by way too many people. I have struggled with one health ordeal after the other. But I look at the video of this man and I feel a surge of hope.
May we all find the inner peace and happiness that this man found...
My baby sissy and I love Japanese Food oooooh so much!
Among our list of favorites...
TAKOYAKI BALLSTako means octopus in Japanese and Takoyaki are known as octopus balls. It's a popular Japanese Dumpling made of batter, diced or whole baby octopus, tempura scraps and green onion. It's normally topped with Okonomiyaki sauce, Aonori, Mayonnaise and Fish Flakes.
*DROOL*
CALIFORNIA MAKIThis is a kind of Sushi Roll, usually made inside-out. It contains Cucumber, Crab Meat (or the imitation crab sticks that you can easily get from groceries) and Avocado or Ripe Mango. The outer layer of Rice is sprinkled with Fish Caviar or Sesame Seeds. It's traditionally dipped in Japanese Soy Sauce with Wasabe.
Yum! A little piece of heaven! But like I always say....to each her own.
My best friend Jeoff and his girl Meg are getting married and I am so thrilled for them!

They're not exactly peas in a pod but they have weathered a lot of trials and I hold them both close to my heart of hearts.
So....I am dedicating this post and this FO in honor of this amazing news! I love you guys and may you spend years and years of wedded bliss holding one another's hands!

I have come to realize,
What I am and what I could be.
Through the unexpected affiliation,
I nurtured with kindred spirits.
Moments of exultation,
And even those of utmost despair.
Are the snippets of my core,
That they hold close to their hearts.
I have in turn given them,
All I am and all that I have to offer.
With the knowledge that in their presence,
I need not dream in black and white.

I love my friends and I cannot thank them enough for helping me find myself during the darkest of hours.
I am grateful that I have them, as they pick me up when courage fails me.
