Funny Little Life Poem

There was a time that I thought my life was as good as it got.
That was about 10 years ago.

Then a time came along that I thought my life was as bad as it got.
That wasn't really that long ago.

But it feels like a life time...WAIT! It is exactly that...
MY life - time.

And good or bad, it is just what it is
And just what it is supposed to be.

I like that and it's okay.
Right now, I feel like my life is better than it has EVER been.

Yep, tops 10 years ago, that's for sure.
My marriage is better,
my kids are healthy, happy, and lovable,
my friendships are healthier
and my walk with God closer.

And even if I wake up tomorrow
and all that is different,
I know that it is how it is supposed to be.
And I know I will be okay.

God has proven that to me over and over again.
He has brought me through,
shown me how He works,
how He heals,
how He takes away,
and how He blesses 10 fold!

How awesome is He?
The Most Awesome!

Loving life!

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

A Promise is a Promise (Grand Canyon)

Many years ago, I am guessing about 19 of them, our family visited the Grand Canyon for one day, on the way home from a trip to California to visit family. Our eldest son was around 11, our middle one around 9, and our baby was a little over a year old. Our boys wanted desperately to hike into the canyon, but our oldest one especially so. He pleaded and my husband and I held firm our "No" as our youngest was too young and we were not outfitted for such an adventure. I promised that we would return one day. A few months later we moved to the East Coast of Virginia. Not planned when we stood at the edge of the canyon and that promise was made. And the many times we planned vacation time to the beach, our son reminded me of that promise to go the the Grand Canyon. Time flew quickly and years later we had not returned to the Grand Canyon. But, we did move to Texas and as we looked at spending time as a family, our oldest son brought this promise bac...
