   With Baited Breath
   
   You first stole my heart long before we met
   you then enslaved my longing at first sight
   nightly I await your presence patiently
   with baited breath Knowing we'll be together
   
   You first freed my spirit from the pit
   you then gave life to my romantic side
   nightly I await your presence calmly
   with baited breath knowing that your there
   
   Youfirst loosed my soul to love again
   you then shared with me through the night
   nightly I await your presence longingly
   with baited breathknowing that you're near
   
   You first gave me a reason to snile again
   you then made my eyes glow with delight
   nightly I await your presence joyfully
   with baited breath knowing that you care
   
   You first asked nothing I wont't freely give
   you then offer more then friendship and love
   nightlyI await your presence tirelessly
   with baited breath knowing your beauty is there
   
   You first asked nothing in return of me
   you then cheered this tired old soul
   nightly I await your pesence woefully
   with baited breah knowing I'll see you soon
   
   You first gave me a smile of cheer
   you then offered your heart to me
   nightly I await your presence tearfully
   with baited breath knowing we will soon share
   
   You first warmed my cold life up
   you then made me glow with love
   nightly I await your presence gladly
   with baited brath knowing your the one for me
   
   Youfirst unleashed the romantic side of me
   you then removed the loneliness I once knew
   nightly I await your presence lovingly
   with baited breath knowing our love is true

    I tell you this recession is taking it's toll, it is really bad, and getting worse.  It is making bullies out of a lot of people in the work place.  It's interesting to sit back and watch people, that measure their happiness by the amount of money they have, as their world is changing.
    
    I am so into crafts, and am teaching kids crafts, and adults card making, and basically just playing around a lot.  I live near the beach, and go walking sometimes along there.  My dad is sick, and i travel back to England quite a lot, to share his care with my sister.  I find that unsettling, as there is a lot i miss about the U.K. er what else can i tell you. 
    
    Oh yeah i watched the Young Chinese girls fall in the finals of the gymnatics.  They were going for gold and silver medals in the parralel bars and both of them fell.  They were so young, and tearful, and i felt so sorry for them, as no one went near them to console them.  The British girl then won the gold medal.  Poor things, i so felt sorry for them

       Yep - that so called 'recession' has been going on a long time now.  I was in the UK in June and it was a pretty depressing place in many ways.  I can't help but compare it with China whre everyoneis busy with tehir lives, anyone with any spare anything seems to be happy enough, even the beggars are having a hard time looking professionally miserable.
       
       Any creative thing is good to do I find, something about it is 'upliflifting'.
       
       I missed the gymnastics as I don't watch tv - the Chinese are so focussed on success that falling at the last post is not unusual, but don't worry - their isolation on tv is about 'face' (hard to explain) but it would not have lasted long, in private they are really supportive and would be talking 'next time' before the tears stopped

          Yeah they sure are focused, but unfortunately, they seemed to be tired.  I live as you probably know in Ireland, which is extremely different in every way culturally from the U.k.  No free health service here far from it....
          
          Do the chinese tend to push the kids to achieve....  or is it just the impression i got from the way the gymnasts performed.   They were so young, to be brilliant......  they must practice from a very young age, and be so motivated.

                I live quite near to Dublin.  It is a very quiet place.  Dublin is busy of course, but i do not go into Dublin very often.  I have lived here 13 years now.  My husband is the one that has the irish blood in him..... I have none.  Irealand has changed so much in the last few years.  They managed to remain extremely "irish"... now there are people living here from all over the world, especially Africa.  The changes have come about too quickly really, and the Irish, were not really for it.

                   I often went through Dublin because I was working in Northern Ireland and lived in Wales.
                   
                   At that time it was changing and had a brief success as the Irish Tiger economy - but that seemed to turn into a pussy cat in the end.  All it did was push the price of Guiness through the roof !
                   
                   This school sends Chinese students to Cork among other places around the world. 
                   
                   The whole idea of allowing huge migrations of people from their own place and culture seems to be backfiring in many ways.  I tell my students that their best course is to get the western education and experience then come back home !
