Into the world

all grown up

going places

getting stuck

making choices

remembering friends

I heard from an "old" friend the other day. I envy this person as she creates her path. Trying new things and making mistakes. Growth makes false the illusion of being young and being safe. Now is the time to learn how to be alone.

Life...

it takes our breath away...
shows us new things each and everyday
i want to run
i want to play
with the sands that hold my memories dear
to have them slip thru my fingers
to keep those feelings near
to be swept away in the waves they cause
to discover the person who i thought i was
to find the new me
the inner peace so elusive
to find the me who appears to be so elusive

Life in General

I sit polishing my nails remembeing Tahoe in July. My best friend and I together again. I truly don't think she knows how much of a positive influence she has on me. She makes me think and challenges me by bringing new ideas to me and putting them into my head. She allows me to just be me and finds joy in who I am. She is refreshing and wonderful.

She makes me think...

She plants the seeds that grow into great thoughts and ideas.

Oh yeah... and Tahoe was great too.

TAHOE

According to Erica's countdown I only have one month and four days until i see her.
TAHOE HERE I COME!!!

I have received various feedback on this.

The sound of the rain
The echoing in my head
The stirring of my soul
This feeling so tender and sweet
Like lips whispering my name
Saying come to me
I close my eyes and feel what there is to be felt
I sense you all around
My love for you grows
And becomes deeper
With each passing day
Wrinkles appear and hair begins to fade
We both lie down
In the bed that we have made
Smiling ring to ring

Your hand strokes my hair
You lips speak of loving and giving
I believe them
Every word
Your arms are strong around me
Keeping me close and safe
I see your eyes looking into mine
To the depths of my soul
I see the love you speak of
The warmth
The desire
I close my eyes and feel the comfort there
The sensations of your hand still stroking my hair

Mikey

Tee-ball

Summer is playing sports! I AM SOOO HAPPY!
It's official, she is going to be a second grader next year. She is getting so big. Pics of her practice will be posted later, hopefully.

M

Here I am sitting “working” away.
Looking out the window, planning my day
A song comes on the radio
A song full of desires that only my heart should know
My stomach leaps, my eyes shut tight
I try to concentrate with all my might
But all I can do is stare
Blankly to those passing by
Seeing you in my mind’s eye
Smiling and walking towards me
Holding out your hands
Reaching around my waist
Putting your lips on the side of my face
My arms crush you in their grasp
Knowing it will end
The song is over, my heart starts again
I look at the window and see a bird passing by
These are the days I wish…
I say with a sigh…
These are the days I wish…
