My life has changed so dramatically. I cannot recall a time I have ever felt happier than I do now. To be able to say I am the happiest I have ever felt in my entire lifetime is amazing. AND something I never would have expected in a million years. I look back over my life and realize there were times I thought I was happy, but recognize definite periods where I was only happy because I had convinced myself I had things in my life that made me happy, when in reality I never had those things at all. I realize without getting into details here, few will even know what I am talking about and that is okay. Some will say "Oh, no not again" thinking I am doing the same things now in my life I did before. BUT this is different. SO amazingly different. It has allowed me to see that what I thought I had and wanted......I had not yet even received or experienced. I have the very best in my life now....and my life and Noah's life will only get better because of it.

Looks like it could rain or snow today. I need to work out and have my breakfast and then do some work for work....mail out my city and state taxes today (since I owed a tiny bit on each one I put off completing them....I have had my other refunds back for months).

Maybe take a trip to see Grandma C. today. I got some more yarn for her at Wal*Mart the other day when I HAD to go there to see about a new computer for Noah. His PC bit the dust. I ended up ordering a refurbished one online. Should be here next week first of the week. Noah is in withdrawal mode.

your love...



Falls down on me like summer rain
Ever so softly and slowly at first
Building over a matter of minutes
Into a downpour
Your torrents of rain pounding against my skin
Each droplet slapping it so hard and fast
Over and over again, leaving me breathless
Just when I think it will all cease
You begin again, in the same pattern
Pounding and pelting
Till my skin is red and raw
And I am drenched in bliss

gifts...



You are a gift
The best kind of present
You allow me to remove your wrappings
One layer at a time
To see what lies within
Just when I think I have already received the ultimate present
The very best you can offer
I discover yet another box, hidden inside the previous
Wrapped in even finer paper than the last
Concealing another precious truth about you
My eyes are in awe of these jewels
I stand in amazement as time and time again
The entire process repeats itself
I sit down because my knees grow weak with disbelief
I smile as the hand of fate turns toward me
Filled with offerings precisely selected for me
How amazing when the universe listens
When I speak of my needs and desires
Then one by one carries them to me
In your arms, your gaze, your kisses, your eyes, your words, your love.
And oh how sweet is the taste of your love
Unlike any before you, you seem to have been designed specifically for me
As I for you
You are so very good for my thirsty soul
I think I shall drink till I am drunk
