Looking out from one of the boardwalks towards Seal Rocks, The Nobbies and the blowhole in the bottom right hand corner of the image. Light conditions were less than ideal but I just had to make do. There were so many kids jumping and running along the boardwalk which made it pretty hard to get a still shot. When walking back to the car we saw a penguin hiding under one of the boardwalks, don’t think I’ve ever been so excited in all my life!

12-18-2009 This has been inspired by a poem I read by our very own Famous and Talented writer, Shoaib ! He posted this poem about a week ago, and after I read it, which I loved :)...it did linger in my head…cuz it was like a little story…and I really wanted to know how it ended :) So of course, my first version ( yes, I wrote 2 different version :)) LOL ) ended like most our comments to him….”Yes, any girl would wait at the station” I mean….geez, Shoaib def, knows how to work his words so we can all be under his spell :)) LOL / but seriously, when I really started to think, I realized in real world, nothing is that easy…and what if as much as one wants to be there, but they can’t…no matter how much they love, they end up missing each other instead…so all these what ifs came to play…and this is what I came up with from a different POV :) / Now I know I’m not a writer…so to me this was more like a LONG COMMENT :)) LMAO / so THANK YOU for reading and putting up with my words :)) XO and most importantly…THANK YOU Shoaib for your beautiful words, mind and how you truly inspire US all :) You are a True gift to anyone who’s path crosses with yours ! Please read more of Shoaibs’ work here at this link :) / shoaib and as of 12-20-09 My Pretty, Talented and GIFTED friend, Cynthia also wrote HER own version of this little ride…and it is the BEST :)...so please please click on this link, so you may enjoy reading this story from yet another beautiful POV :) / Cynthia Lund Torroll / LOVE U GIRL :) SO WHO ELSE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS TRAIN RIDE???? THIS RIDE IS FREE..SO YOU DON’T EVEN NEED A TICKET TO GET ON, JUST YOUR HEART and MIND :))) 12-20-09 / AND now my good friend Richard, just took the challenge and came up with this other amazing TRIP…wow…I love reading all these versions :) / Thanks R…what a nice surprise :) xx / Please read his poem at this link :) / clickinhistory with only few hours later, I just found out another BRILLIANT artist has decided to share her story at this STATION…I cannot even began to tell you, how thrilled I was to read her version…Tempe, YOU ARE TRULY REMARKABLE…thank YOU :) / Please take a moment and ENJOY her amazing words using this link :) / Tempe Below is Shoaibs’ amazing Poem / which started this Journey for me :) / THANK YOU so so much Shoaib…for letting ME, of all people to play around with some of your words :) I felt like I was writing a script …this was one of the best experiences for me…now I know why writing can be FUN :) xx and for the rest of you writers…watch out…I may just have to start leaving these LONG Comments as well …lmaoooooo :) The journey* I miss you and I’ve been missing you for days / Where does the time go when we talk for hours and nothing stays? / I close my eyes and we part ways / I want to say… Hey beautiful / I wish I could stay / But I’m late for my train / So many thoughts are running off like a relay / There is no delay despite how much it rains / It’s rainy without you here and I’m already late / I have to go so, please don’t look away Hey beautiful / I have so much to say my thoughts are lost just like that runaway train / You / Give me the strength to maintain / And it isn’t even like me to behave this way / Today / I got up at dawn and prayed / In an ancient tongue that is as unfamiliar to me as the pain / Of Sunday mornings where I had to learn to recite that grace / “oh ye who reject faith / I worship not what you worship nor do you worship what I worship / And I will not worship what you worship nor will you worship what I worship… / ….you unto your religion and me unto mine” / Lines / Of the divine Hey beautiful, I too wish I could stop time / Instead I just close my eyes / Because true love is blind / So onto that train I climbed / Thinking I am so unprepared for this ride / It’s other’s blind faith in religion that makes me lose mine / Face it… we can’t all be right / And we change it…. To fit how we want to live our lives / I wonder sometimes… / Would I regret coming on board like the times in my life I lied? / And let others cry / Still sometimes / I try and hide / From all these thoughts that I keep inside / The point is we can’t even trust ourselves at times I just want to say hey beautiful / You decide / Because I don’t ever want to be the person that made you cry / Made you say hey… at least we tried / I want to be that heart in which you confide But it’s too much to ask someone to put their faith in you at night / When faith itself could be a lie / I have this reoccurring dream where I can’t run in a straight line / And when I stop to realign / I realize / I too am running out of time / I turn and wake to your empty bedside / I think nothing of it because it happens all the time So I walked down the aisle and take my seat and sigh / Left alone there I retreat in to the safety of my mind / I think it’s easier to be your own enemy sometimes / At least you feel like you can control your own lives / Even though you know full well that that’s not where peace resides / They say that true peace is felt inside / But I know poets are never right / Because what sounds beautiful isn’t always a true reflection of where we find / Our happiness to be at that particular time I saw a child on that train and he asked “are we there yet” / His young father said “son, we will get there soon” / His grandfather said “Look, how far we’ve already come” / And I… / I just looked out the window and questioned journey / And stayed silent on the destination / I can only pray that we find our salvation That you believe in me enough to be patient / And that when I get off this train… you decide to meet me at that station
