So first of all, let me start by saying- THANK YOU PEOPLE…for coming out of the cyberspace wall and writing such great comments on my blog!!! Not only was it extremely fun to check my email but it gave me a chance to go check out blogs I had never seen before and some I hadn’t seen in a long time- so thank you!!! It’s also very comforting to know that lurkers are a common thing and it’s not just me….I swear, I shower and keep myself smelling as good as I can for you people in hopes that you will come back soon and leave me a comment or something…hahahaha…Ok that was a tad silly right….??
Ok, so have you heard of Ganesh?
This guy…
This beautiful intelligent lady told me about him tonight on our walk
….yeah, we talk about all kinds of interesting things on our walks which is why I love them so much…everything from everyday stuff to heavier topics, like religion. Which we both agreed was extremely interesting to learn about various religions. That is when Miss Sarah started telling me about the Hindu God, Ganesh. Although the story she told me and the one I found online…you can see it here, were slightly different, still it blew my mind that she knew this kind of stuff! I LOVE it when my kids tell me things I didn’t know…it comforts me in a way…I think, ok…phew, this one is going to be just fine when she gets on her own…she’s got a great head on her shoulders…
I told Sarah tonight that she is going to have to give me time to accept that she has more important things to do then walk with me and talk with me…I’ve had 18 years of her attention and I admit, it’s hard to let go…but it’s because I enjoy our time together so much- with all my kids, but Sarah is closest to moving on with her own life, so every chance I get to steal a walk I’ll do it until it’s not possible anymore….you’d do the same wouldn’t you?
Ok, I see I tempted several of you with my giveaway plans…I’ve been asking Sarah on our walks what I should give away and we’re both stumped…but I have some time before I hit 10,000….so you’ll just have to wait in anticipation awhile longer while I try and think of something great to giveaway!!
Thanks again for all the lovely comments…means a lot that you came out of the cyberspace wall to chat with me!!
Until next time my friends….

i have heard of him. :) and i think of one of my favorite films - bend it like beckham. i'm sure the faith is why and the question of inside religion or outside, or does it matter?
Oh My G...you are here...I cannot believe it. Well, wondeful pics as always. Don't you miss the coast? Today we actually had sunshine and degrees below...after days of pouring rain and warm weather..but we actually like it :))
I love learning about new things!
And a giveaway - how cool! Maybe you could make some prints or cards from your photos to give away?
Uhm yeah. The God is quite popular in Indonesia, especially because we have little island called Bali where most of the residents are Hindu.
It also appears on many symbols / logos of Universities here because Ganesha is supposed to represent knowledge, wisdom? Something like that.
Great to know that we're all learning new things every day
I still think you should give away a dog ;)
Cherish every moment of those walks!!! And then when she is a mom and brings the grandkids over to visit you can have them again!
