Here I am

It's been a trying couple of weeks for me. Maybe it's because of vacation and the fact that I got to spend a week with Rich, which was for the most part, great. I guess I wish it was just easier to be able to spend time with him, away from work, and be able to see him whenever I want. With him an hour or so away, I can't just hop in my car and go, especially with gas prices the way they are. It sucks. Anyway, here are just some poems, take them as they are...hope you enjoy.

Walk With Me

Walk with me, the path of life, to explore every bend of the road Enjoy with me the beauty of life, along its wonderful way

Find comfort with me, in each other's arms, when grief crosses our path Find strength with me, in each other's strength when despair lies in wait

Laugh with me, a single true laugh, to enlighten another's distress Cry with me, a single true tear, to understand true happiness

Cherish with me, the wonders of life, as they need to be preserved Rejoice with me, in the mysteries, of what is yet to be

Find peace with me, in each other's souls when the world has gone insane Find love with me, in each other's hearts until this life has been fulfilled

And if the path comes to an end I hope we can say from within We've known the beaught of true love, our love came from within <>Times in Love

There are times when words aren't enough feelings can't always be put into words; because they are inadequate and often escape us sometimes, there are only feelings.

There are times when all you need is a look; a silent, wordless connection between souls an understanding that needs no translation a natural, knowing stare that says everything.

There are times when all you need is a touch; nothing spoken - just the gesture of reaching out touching, silently transferring your energy conveying something that comes from within

There are times when all you need is acceptance to know that you are valued as you are that any changes you make only enhance you more as you discover yourself.

There are times when all you need is love no conditions or demands, only simplicity to know that for no reason at all another chooses you over all others. There are times when all you ever wanted, was to be completed by another person.

There are times when you need all of these things there are times when nothing else matters.

The Best Chance

Every building that's built Will someday come down It will age, it will buckle It will crash to the ground.

Every car that we drive Will someday just die The engine, the brakes The gas tank runs dry.

Every shirt that we purchase All the clothes that we wear They will fade and unravel They will stain, they will tear.

Every tree that's above us Never matter how tall It's time too will come And then it will fall.

Every day that we wake When the sun shines so bright We're sure we can count on The darkness of night.

Nothing lasts forever So it seems to be true But nothing's ever had a better chance Than the love I feel for you.

A Special Place

There is a special place in life, That needs my humble skill, A certain job I'm meant to do, Which no one else can fulfill.

The time will be demanding, And the pay is not too good And yet I wouldn't change it for a moment - even if I could.

There is a special place in life, A goal I must attain, A dream that I must follow, Because I won't be back again.

There is a mark that I must leave, However small it seems to be, A legacy of love for those, Who follow after me.

There is a special place in life, That only I may share, A little path that bears my name, Awaiting me somewhere.

There is a hand that I must hold, A word that I must say, A smile that I must give, For there are tears to blow away.

There is a special place in life, that I was meant to fill A sunny spot where flowers grow, upon a windy hill.

There's always a tomorrow and the best is yet to be, And somewhere in this world I know there is a place for me.

Every

Every day that I love, Every time that I breathe, I think of the love that we have shared.

Every time I see a smile, Every time I hear laughter, I think of the joy that you brought my life.

Every time I close my eyes, Every time I begin to dream, I see myself holding you near to me.

Every rose I smell, Every blooming flower I see, I see your beauty shining through your eyes.

Every glowing light, Every twinkling star, I see radiating from your heart of gold.

Everyone I see, Every voice I hear, I can only see your beauty and hear your melody.

Every boy and girl, Every husband and wife, I am reminded of you and me hand in hand.

Every love song I hear, Every romantic movie I see, I think about you and me together forever.

Every time I am alone, Every time it is quiet, I think about you, your love, and my love for you.

Every time we don't talk, Every moment we are apart, I feel my heart ache for your touch of love.

Every time I hear wedding bells, Every time I hear the death toll, I wonder if this is the beginning or end of us.

Every new day, Every coming night, I thank God for letting me know you and your love.

Every night before bed, Every time I pray, I ask for another day of loving you.

And then there was one...

So officially being home from vacation feels nice. It's always good to get away but I missed my family and of course my kitty, so it's good to be back. We got back this morning and unpacked the car and moved Rich's stuff into his car and he took off back to his place. I then managed to unpack things in a pretty timely manner and got to relax. Then went out with my mom and sis shopping and came home again. Did I mention it's good to be back?

The cottage we stayed in was nice. A little small but perfect for 3 people really. We had a very nice week weather wise. Wednesday and Friday were rainy and dreary, but other then that, perfect weather. I managed to get a sunburn the first official day we were there....bad sun burn too....I'm sure it was at least second degree burns on one part. It's my shoulder and chest that got it the worst. It was very painful to take a shower, go out in the sun or sleep for the first few days. It's still very red and started to peel a few days ago so now I'm taking care of it. Needless to say the rest of the week I put sunblock on, but was still in pain. We had fun though. Went into Old Forge shopping and into Eagle Bay and Inlet, they have some great shops up there. I highly recommend it. The lake, Fourth Lake, was also gorgeous. We watched the sunset one night and saw lots of ducks, baby ones too, on our section of the beach.

So one last day left of our vacation and I'm going to watch the Boilermaker tomorrow. Have to be up at 6 a.m. Then I'll come home and nap a bit before we go to a graduation party and a concert tomorrow night. It's a packed day but I'm looking forward to working again. I'm happy to be doing nights because that means on-air work for IBX. I'm really excited about doing that!

Ok, we're going to watch a movie, so that's the low down on the vaca! More to come!
