Magic Boots
Magic Boots
There once was a pair of magic boots
Donned by a little old man If you took him by the elbow He could take you to any land
He'd tap his magic boots One, two, one and two And whoosh through the twirly tunnel To a lay with a bewitching view
"Where are we?" I asked in awe. He gleefully replied, "It's my land of home." 'It's such a pleasing place," I spoke. "Do you know nostalgia somewhere you've roamed?" Startled by the querie, I gave due thought "None so wondrous nor bountiful as this." "My dear, it doesn't have to be, But somewhere you are missed?"

Colossal Secrets
The sun has seeped below the horizon. The wind whistles wildly through the cracked open window. But at once, it lulls to a hypnotizing whisper; The wispy whisper wakes my mind. I listen intently, for I detect its wish - To express a message.
I detect speech in the whispers, Spooky and surreal as it may be. "What?" I hear myself call to the wind. Suddenly it wrangles itself around again, Almost as if angry that I don't understand.
It then wavers from whipping up to whispering low, An unpredictable creepy creature. Now it waggles, whirs and whirls around Waking wind chimes both near and far As the wind now differently s

One of The Most Moving Gifts I've Ever Received... In Life, Created by Candy candysamuels
"Tea by Candy"
The self-portrait I am holding in this photo, is a traditional work done by the extremely remarkably talented Candy Samuels

This was the original upload:
Then she mailed it!
She's such a dear, sweet friend, who is simply FABULOUS!
This gift was such a unique surprise for me,
and I'll always feel moved by her amazing kindness.

Gorgeous Videos Created For Me By Teresa Tigles1Artistry
The photos used for this video can be found HERE: teaphotography.deviantart.com/…
This amazing video was made for me, by my dearest friend Teresa
as a surprise gift...
She wanted to make this video to place in her Custom Box on her own Profile Page where she is so very generously promoting The Shelter Project: teaphotography.deviantart.com/…
Not long after, she also made yet another one which contains more of my animal work, and is more particularly about The Shelter Project: teaphotography.deviantart.com/…
And... HERE IT IS:
The photos used in this video can be found HERE: teaphotography.deviantart.com/…
and from a number of other Sub-Galleries of mine.
And, THEN, as also a BIG Part of The Shelter Project she created another video to support my hand-crafted jewelry that also donates funds for the animals, through purchases:
She'd made THIS one for my birthday!
Teresa never ceases to amaze me with her creativity in seeking out ways to support this worthy cause for animals!

A feature of Teresa's
's stunning work:
I thank you profoundly, my dearest Teresa, as this is so very special to me from the bottom bottom of my heart- the same way I am always truly humbled by your ongoing support and friendship!
You are a fabulous and beautiful friend!

Sometimes, certain quotes & music lyrics can reflect bits of me here and there, the way my own writings and photography can.

Welcome back to "ATTZ. of GRATZ." or Welcome for the FIRST time if you are new! We've been doing these Editions on Gratitude for a year and 3 months!

The US, just had their National Holiday of Thanksgiving... and I know that other countries, have a version of Thanksgiving as well, at other times of the year. It seems to be quite a huge deal for Americans of the US.
For me, it's not about, how much I can eat, (because I can't and don't eat that much), rather it is simply a day to remind u
