Pieces of Gold

Nuts galore in Castle Towers sells the best and freshest almonds I've ever tasted. You pay a premium for it, no questions on guessing why. It's that good.

I was at Koorong on Thursday night and learnt that May 14 is officially a national Day of Thanksgiving . It sounds suspiciously like an American spin off. I wonder whether this is an annual calender affair.

Upon hearing about it, my immediate thoughts fell upon my team of specialists, and doctors that have blessed me with much kindness over the course of my ongoing treatment since the accident. I would like to send them my gratitudes.

Ironically enough, I'm going to be in the States on May 14.

And, thanksgiving wouldn't be thanksgiving without some mention of food. I'm not entirely sure about the significance of the turkey, though I just thought I'd add one of my old time favourites, turkey breast served with cranberry sauce, avocado, rocket, and lightly grilled on turkish bread.

I played this song last night, for no apparent reason, more that I felt like listening to something mellow.

I like how this song caresses you ever so softly, and gently pulls you in with it's lyrics. I first heard it back in 2002, and wasn't surprised to learn that it was written by Baby Face, it's consistent with his style from his album, 'The Day'.

The Colour of Love - Boyz II Men - Full Circle

I was lonely,
I needed someone, to see me through,
I was at the, end of my rope,
I needed someone, to cut me lose
Then an angel, out of the blue,
Gave me the strength that I, might make it through
And somehow I survived, with no rhyme or reason,
And now I know I'll make It,
Through the miracle of you

I know the Color Of Love,
(And It lives in side of you)
I know the color of truth,
(Its in the image of you)
If it comes from the heart, then you know that its true,
It will color your soul, like a rainbow
(Like a rainbow)
And the color of love, is in you

Like a bridge,
Over troubled, troubled water
You stood beside me, stood beside me
And your love, did not falter
And then the angel, angel in you,
Gave me the strength to know,
That I will get through,
And that’s how I survived, ain't no other reason
And now I know I'll make it, through the miracle of you

So girl I want to thank you,
I can't thank you enough,
For showing me the meaning,
The meaning of true love,
(When I was lost and so in need you opened up your heart)
(When I needed you to comfort me you opened up you arms)
(I couldn't face another day you said don't be afraid)
You showed my heart the, showed me the way.
