NEWS
It's finally Friday. I lived through another week.
Doug's sister had a heart attack, Wednesday I think it was. She's in her mid-forties. She's in the hospital in Jacksonville, FL and has to have five surgeries.
The First Hot Summer Day
It's hot here in the south during the summer. The hot weather can begin as early as March or April. Then by the time June and July hits it's really a heat wave.
All winter long, we get cabin fever, just wishing for warmer weather to come so we (the kids, especially) can get out of the house. Then when warm weather finally gets here, we go out expecting to have a great time. But the humidity gets so bad when it's hot. Our hair hangs limply and our shirt sticks to our body. Then we just want to go back in and enjoy the airconditioning. Thank the good Lord we have a pool at our apartment. That way we can jump in and get cooled off and have a chance at enjoying the outdoors.
Truly though, I love summer. I love to put my hair up in a pony-tail, put on some shorts and go hiking up in the mountains, picnic and swim in a lake. Beats the heck out of a cold winter day, anytime!
A Butterfly Spreading it's Wings
(Dang this one is hard!)
What is the difference in a butterfly and a bug? They have the same number of legs and the same feeler things sticking out of their buggy heads. But not just any bug can take off in flight in a colorful burst of color and beautify a day just by fluttering around. Most bugs make you shout in disgust and reach for a swatter. Not so the butterfly!
When a butterfly spreads its wings, it becomes a flying work of art. A beautiful thing for all to love.
What in Life is Still a Mystery to Me?
There are so many mysteries to life. Life without mystery would be very boring. Sometimes late at night, I find my self wondering. Why am I here? Why are we all here? Why at this particular time and not some other? Is there something I am supposed to do, but haven't done it yet? Is there something I was supposed to do, but failed to do it? Will there be another chance, or was it lost forever?
My 10+ favorite things to do: (not in order of course)
1. Going home on Friday, renting a movie, and having nothing pressing to do for 2 days.
2. Watching my children sleep
3. Losing 10 pounds, and not knowing how I did it
4. Laughing
5. Chatting on the Internet
6. Lying on the beach
7. Walking in the mountains
8. Writing a story and liking it
9. Getting a hug
10. Shopping (Hey, I'm female, it's in my blood.)
11. Looking in my purse and finding money I didn't know I had
12. Buying a new book.
13. Getting a visit from the Good Sex Fairy (is that one allowed???)
14. Buying my kids a toy
15. Opening presents on Christmas morning
16. Breakfast at Shoney's
Being Hurt:
Everyone has had such a person in their life. If not, it is only because you have not met them yet.
I looked at you
And saw
Every dream I ever dreamed,
Every wish I ever wished on any star.
But I know
It will never be.
The worst thing anyone ever did to me, was to not do anything wrong at all. If he would have only hurt me like others had done, I could have hated him. If I could have hated him I could have gotten over him and went on with my life. But he never did anything wrong and I fell in love. He didn’t love me back even though he was my best friend for many years. I knew he didn’t… couldn’t… wouldn’t….but I foolishly kept hoping one day he would.
Everyone has such a person in their life. The one person they love more than any other and they can never feel quite the same for anyone else and that person never loves you back. Maybe humans weren’t meant to love each other that way. It says in the Bible that God is a jealous God. Maybe we just aren’t allowed to be with someone we can love that much.
