Snapper: A Challenging Summer

http://suzysnapper.blogspot.com/2007/09/challenging-summer.html

Thursday, September 13, 2007. So my intention was to take the summer off from blogging to clear my head, think of new avenues to write about and just simply take a break. Well, I have had an extremely challenging summer. I am bound and determined not to be negative or down, so I would consider posting from time to time, and then think.let's wait a week until I can say something good. Unfortunately, that never happened. Towards the end of August, I began to feel back on my game. I was stronger, regain...

Snapper: June 2006

http://suzysnapper.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 30, 2006. As I prepare for Canada Day weekend (or as the L'il Ms Thang says 'Canaday'), I am planning to take a lot of time to reflect what a fantastic country I live in. This morning, the Globe and Mail reports on some of the vicious and disgusting thought patterns of the Toronto terror suspects. It makes my patriotic side get about as protective as a mother bear with her cub. This is my country - my home. And I am damned proud of that. Four jobs I’ve had:. Pharmaceutical r and d buyer.

Snapper: Full Circle

http://suzysnapper.blogspot.com/2007/12/full-circle.html

Sunday, December 16, 2007. It's interesting some times how the universe makes things happen in certain ways. How certain situations present themselves in a way you could never have expected. Our family, like many families, has had some difficult times. I grew up knowing my four aunts, but there were two uncles in the family that I knew nothing about. Sure, there were twitterings and comments but they were a mystery to me. There were so many stories. So many things to discuss. So many fences to me...I had...

Snapper: Orbs

http://suzysnapper.blogspot.com/2007/09/orbs.html

Monday, September 17, 2007. Do you believe in orbs? I do Maybe that's what makes me see something in this photo, and maybe not. Since my accident, I have been feeling a very strong presence with me. I have been jokingly calling it my 'angel'. Last night, I took this photo with a clean lens. I tried to recreate it several times, to no avail. Sure, it could be a dust spot, but the face is eerie.

Snapper: January 2006

http://suzysnapper.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 28, 2006. And so it begins. The beginning of new relationship is always full of extremes. It takes you out of your comfort zone and makes you see everything in a slightly different view. Now I find myself at the edge of a new adventure. Not long distance, but the polar opposite. He sits 15 feet away from my desk Monday to Friday. For the past 8 months, we have played this game of pretending that there was mere friendship between us. I would tell myself I couldn't get inv...At that point...

Snapper: April 2006

http://suzysnapper.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 21, 2006. Ever feel like this? The funny thing of this past week is that even though looking back, it would seem rather stressful, hectic and crazy, I don't remember ever feeling more confident that good things are right around the corner! My job is officially over, or will be April 28. I was given notice last Tuesday that there would be no forthcoming positions for me at this time. It felt like the largest boulder was ripped off my shoulders and I am 50 lbs. lighter. It just feels so good ...

Snapper: July 2006

Monday, July 31, 2006. Another Kind Of Lethal Weapon. So Mel Gibson is entering rehab. After his shameful display of abusive public drunkenness and driving while impaired. It occurs to me that he must be one hell of an actor if the characters he plays on screen are so completely different from his real life personna. Not much of a Braveheart. William Wallace would not be proud. I remember a story of his antics back when he was in Vancouver filming Bird On A Wire. Because I'm bored at work today. Five thi...

Snapper: August 2006

http://suzysnapper.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 31, 2006. An absolutely heartbreaking incident happened in Penticton on Tuesday. A 77-year-old man walked into the front doors of the local hospital, through to where his bedridden 80 year old wife was. She had been in medical care since a stroke 28 days ago. He pulled out his handgun, shot her in the head and then himself. They had no children. Both in failing health in an already overburdened health care system, it would seem they chose a quicker end to their time on this earth. I had ...

Snapper: November 2005

http://suzysnapper.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 11, 2005. IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow. Between the crosses row on row,. That mark our place; and in the sky. The larks, still bravely singing, fly. Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago. We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,. Loved and were loved, and now we lie. Take up our quarrel with the foe:. To you from failing hands we throw. The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die. We shall not sleep, though poppies grow. Those se...
