stopped at the grocery store this morning. on the way out there was this elderly couple walking in front of me. they were holding hands. it amazes me that love can with stand any hurdles that come at a couple. that is with one exception- that you truly love each other and communicate. i found love at a late age 31. so happy that it came then and not earlier. when i was younger i had the Midas touch but nothing turned to gold everything withered. the dreams and people that were dear to my heart all found something/one else. there i was alone and desperate, as i so often was, and had to find a way to believe that what i wanted could be found. then he came along. this love opened my eyes and gave my life a new beginning. for me the meaning of life is love. love that i found inside of myself for myself that transformed into being able to love what was being searched for. there is no going back once you have filled your heart with sticky love.

p.s. these pictures were not taken in '05. they were taken in '09 december.

spring is springing into our home. there is a new air that is breezing through our days. next week is spring break- a whole week with my little guy. this little is a joy so full of life and QUESTIONS. some mornings ago i had to describe the banking system and opening your own business on the way to school. then there all the questions about god and heaven. those are hard because you want to give thoughtful answers in thought provoking ways. so, a week with him will bring some thoughtfulness every waking moment.
i take these daily walks through the park in the mornings. they help clear out the junk that has accumulated in the evening and morning. it brings such joy to my day. without these walks there would just be mounds of clutter to dig through with no way out. thank you God for giving me the ability to walk and enjoy the day.
