I put this on my main page too, but thought it was worthy of a blog entry also, lol. =)
I find joy in both the simple and complex things in life.
I crave the smell of wet blades of grass,
the earth's soil after it rains,
Grandma's homemade apple butter when she's canning...
and a baby's sweet spot on their forehead.
I enjoy the sounds of my Mama's laughter,
my brother singing,
good music on the stereo,
and the thunder rolling off in the
distance when I'm safe in the arms
of the man I love during a summer storm
as we listen to the rain on the window.
I admire the beauty of
the power of true friendship,
butterflies in flight,
a sweet smile on the face of a friend or loved one,
the color of the leaves in the Fall,
and the Snake River with the Grand Tetons in the back drop.
I enjoy the feel of a soft, velvety kiss,
having my hair brushed and played with,
rose petals between my thumb and fingers,
knowing that those who matter to me are safe
and of knowing I am loved and cherished
by those I love and cherish.
I am passionate about life...
which can be both good and bad.
It means I can cuss like a sailor in a heated moment,
and it means I'll fight for what I believe in,
and for what you believe in to
because if you are my friend,
what matters to you matters to me.
I believe in miracles...
I see them in everything around me, every day.
And I thank God for them all.
My God is a loving God, who forgives me for my faults...
All of them.
I'm not perfect...God knows that...
I show him, a lot.
I believe He is with me in my joys AND my sorrows.
He never promised a life without pain,
but He did promise to be there to carry me
through the pain that life brings.
I have loved and lost.
My life is richer for the time
with those I have loved.
