today was spent trying to make it up to Rup Rup for leaving her home last night. A trip to McDonald's and then a trip to grandmas has her pretty content now. Whew I pulled that one off *LOL*

What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it-would you be
likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the
blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.

someday I hope to find that one little missing ingredient that will make me feel alive again, that little thing that I just cannot seem to determine, that little thing that gives one laughter, that little thing that makes one want to see the new morning or the stars at night, that little thing that is missing in my life right now.

when will it be my turn, what do I do wrong that I find I'm alone and secluded from the world, a hidden thing not existing only in my own mind?

To be thought of enough to be missed is a great gift
it means that maybe you are important in another's life
it means that maybe you are more than you realize
it means that maybe you love me.

It amazes me in some sense of the way that it lasted as long as it did, I knew there were lies, just not so many, I knew there were others and once again just not so many, I knew it would end but I just didn't know when. and I prayed that it wouldn't, it never was supposed to you know it was to be forever, I meant my words, every single one of them that day in that church, but somehow somewhere you must have had your fingers crossed.

Lingering thoughts
dreams and fantasies
held within my grasp
Lasting memories
smiles and rapture
drifting through my mind
Remaining remnants
pleasure and joy
resting within my soul
Enduring endearments
love and laughter
lifting my spirit higher
1998
I learned something today
many things really
from just one conversation
it dwelled within me through the day
the night
It taught me something
It gave me a vision
it guided me past the troubled waters
the light
I thank my friend for the gift
that brought some peace
to my troubled soul, and the gift was?
Listen

I like life. It's something to do.
