Sleep

S ilence, means not a pee P L ittle crickets sadly twing E E nsorcelled children cring E E nveloped in a fairy cau L P ratter ends and silence fall S * A word which can be read forward as one thing & backwards as another is called a semordnilaps (PALINDROMES backwards), also known as heteropalindromes, semi-palindromes, half-palindromes, reversgrams, reversible anagrams, word reversals, or anadromes.

ohh I need sleep-- I have been awake since umm 300am? I have awry sleep now... I have to look up "ensorcelled" new word for me-- very cool acrostic, with both sides, I did that before, quite a challenge! Also thank you so much for your thoughts an dprayers-- pls read my replies in Carrie's blog for the links, Chris mentioned "Doctors Without Borders" being a worthy organization-- or you can also go to my latest post to see what he wrote there about the org. Thank you! Off to teach I go now.
