The Ballad Of Pinky Doodle...
Once upon a time...
There was a little boy named... PINKY DOODLE and he went on a trip to... THE SANDBOX. While he was there, Pinky Doodle had lots of fun... DOING A RADIO SHOW. Pinky Doodle talked to lots of people in the sandbox, and even made some good friends. The only problem was, he forgot to... WRITE IN HIS BLOG. So one day, Pinky Doodle sat down, and wrote all about his experiences. His Family and Friends were happy to hear that... HE WAS DOING WELL, and... HE WAS GRATEFUL FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT THEY WERE GIVING HIM. Not everything was going well for Pinky Doodle, though. Sometimes he... MISSED BEING AT HOME, and wanted more than anything... TO SEE HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS again. But soon enough, Pinky Doodle knew he would see them, and they would... LAUGH AND HAVE FUN TOGETHER once more.
THE END.
.........For my Mother, who told the best bedtime stories.........

Sorry it's taken me so long to write. Nothing really is happening out of the ordinary. We did have a nice Halloween. There was a small AFN party, and I'll have photos for you soon. Also, we had some snow form on top of the mountains around us. I took some pictures with my disposable camera, so until I get them developed, you'll just have to imagine. Speaking of...with snow comes cold temperatures. It got down below freezing last night, and I was grateful for the warm clothes some of you sent. Long sleeve shirts and warm pants/tights really came in handy, along with the socks I've gotten, I have stuff to sleep in. I am plugging in my electric blanket tonight, since it's supposed to drop below freezing again tonight. Brrrrrrr!

I'm still waiting on some of you to send me your Wish Lists. Honesty, it's hard to shop for some of you, so please leave a comment with some ideas for me.

Now for the sappy stuff...
I've really been down lately. It's been like this for the past few weeks, and I think it has to do with the fact that Vanessa has gotten into WTU. You see, before, when I was focusing all my energy on trying to keep her positive, or her spirits up, I wasn't focusing much on missing her, or those I care about. NOW, she's doing fine, and is really relieved to be away from her job, and my attention isn't 100% focused on that, so my mind has begun to take in what's around me. Like the fact that I'm here, so far from Family and Friends. I wouldn't trade her current situation for anything, though. I praise God Almighty for getting her away from the place (specifically; the people) that were doing more harm and no good to her. Thanks to everyone who had her in your thoughts and prayers. I'm just starting to feel lonely. That's it, I'm lonely, and I know it will only get harder, before it gets better. At least I can see the light, and know it's coming ever closer with each passing day. All I Can do, is look straight ahead, and soon enough, my time will come.

They've decided, pending any emergency, to keep me in radio for my whole time here. What a relief, and a blessing. I did almost get into trouble over some decisions regarding the weekly Chaplain show I produce. I prayed to God to remind me that it's HIS show, and it's in HIS hands. Now all I can do is sit back, and hope things smooth out. I've been struggling along the same lines in the past few weeks. I need to constantly remind myself (and pray) about thanking God for the little things. I have to keep vigilant about putting Him first. When I forget, and try to do something on my own merits, problems arise soon after.

And with that, I'll wrap up this little entry.
