Something nice (and a poem)

Sally, at Whispering Hope, made this special button to give to her friends to celebrate her 200th. post!

Isn't it pretty! :)

I am proud to post it here and so happy to have found Sally's blog. She's one lady I visit each and every day, just to see what's going on in her world! :) It's often something FUN and goodness knows we all need a lot of that in our lives!

Thanks, Sally, for all the fun you share!

~~I spent hours trying to figure out how to put this on my side bar but to no avail! :( Will have to have some help from my Alli!
(Hey-Gimmee a break-I'm old! lol- That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!!)~~

I got these words in an email, along with a flower to send along... Well, the flower part was nice but the words are what impressed me more. I just want to share them.

Speaking for myself - I know at times I have lost focus on what and who are most important in my life. Being of a dramatic nature, I tend, at times, to puff things up into larger than life proportions, in my ever going quest for fulfillment and pleasure! And, once started on any endeavor, or relationship, or whatever- I have trouble letting it go...I suppose this, in part, is because I hate to admit I made a wrong turn or decision - and also - changes are hard for me!

I sometimes find myself needing to step back and take stock of who and what are of #1 importance in my life!

(The words from the email)

"There comes a point in your life when you realize:
who matters, who never did,
who won't anymore and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."

:) Sorry to be posting in riddles today but it's just one of those times for me...pondering my life and all that stuff! Changes have been hard for me, and there have been many recently...

A poem I wrote in 2003:

Tomorrow


Tomorrow brings a brighter day.
I’ll make it so!
I’ll put the pain - the hurt - away.
No one will ever know.

I’ll hide the tears,
and in their place will be a smile.
No one will guess my heart is breaking,
all the while.

And if I do this long enough
from day to day,
in time, the pain I’m feeling now
might, truly, go away!

…So, if wayward tears should fall,
please just pretend
you never saw the teardrops.
Please, be a friend.

I’ll toast tomorrow,
with my glass held high!
With new resolve,
I’ll give it my best try!
