My pen runs dry sometimes.....

Image
I go through phases where I want to write.......
in fact I NEED to write..... It's so therapeutic!

and then I  LULL again.....
(perhaps that is why I can't keep a faithful following on my blog???)

I want to write - I like to write - I love to share....
(secret fantasy.... I would love to write a book)
I love to pour out my heart and reach out my hands for others.
It's who I am.  It's what I do.

But sometimes... the words just won't come.

So I read.

I open my blog and I find myself reading old blogs and thinking back to where I've been and just like the title of blog.... finding myself today on paths that I never expected.
And I can't write.
It's too much
It's overwhelming.

Like really OVERWHELMING - think about it....
if you could today go back and talk to your 5 year younger self.... what would you say??/

So many pits you could tell yourself to avoid.
So many decisions you might make differently.
AND so many things that I'd wanna say  "OHHHH just wait!!!  It's gonna be GREAT!"

Its so funny and amazing how it all makes sense one day!

In the middle of that journey, in the middle of those valleys you will pass through....
if only you knew how GREAT life would be in 5 years... or 10..... or maybe just in 1!!
If only you could see how those lessons are shaping you and preparing you for what's next!!!

It's fantastic!!!

I LOVE having a blog.....a journal of my life.  There is nothing better than going back and reading something you experienced 3 years ago and smiling because of where you have come since then!!

Sooooo....... over the next few days, I have some of my most popular and inspirational blogs prepared to REpublish!!!!  Some of you may have missed them the first time.  And some of you might just need to read them again!  I know I did!!!

Feel free to be INSPIRED!!!!!!

Post # 100 - Today I'm sharing a little bit of me!

Image
Well - 100 posts later, I still can't believe I have that much to say!!!  ha ha
and I REALLY can't believe that you read my random rambling emotional mess!
But I'm SOOOOOO grateful for it and so unexpectedly blessed by the things I read from you all AND even MORESO by the comments left each and every post!
My gift from God is definitely my heart and the love and joy that fill it.  Making someone else smile is what makes me smile - and I just want to take today to thank you for letting me know when I do  :)
YOU make MY day  :)

So today - as a special treat........for me... for you.... who knows?!?!  I'm gonna share something that is a little more personal and intimate and even more emotional for me than usual (fancy that?!!)
A few weeks ago... on my post its - I mentioned a heart felt "poem" I had written the night before.
Well today - I'm going to share that.
I'm VERY protective of my writing... it's definitely how I express myself best and I rarely share it with anyone... but today (after sharing it with my bf...) - as a gift to you - I'm sharing ME.  (hey hey hey... don't be ugly - it's SPECIAL - LOL)

here's the catch....well it's not REALLY a catch... just wishful hoping I guess...

As of today - I have 77 followers.... which I'm HUGELY thankful for...
BUT - as today is my 100th post - I would like to officially have 100 followers!
how cool is that?!!
So - I'm sharing me with you...will you share me with your friends!??
send them my way  :)
I could use 100 smiles today  :)

Enjoy the poem  :)
its just one more way to say how lucky I am... how BLESSED I am ... and mostly how IN LOVE I am with not just Adam... but with every aspect of my unexpected life  :)

He was just a guy
She was just a girl
There was nothing really extraordinary about either of them

She chose a road
He chose a road
Neither knowing where it might lead

There was darkness
There were consequences
Both learned everything the hard way

Mistakes were made
Prices were paid
Each hurting a little more than the last

People passed through their lives
And people hurt them every time
Both now have the scars to show

He was hardened
She was jaded
Both gave up on being loved

She was a hopeless romantic, and wanted for so much more
He believed in the power of love, but couldn’t feel it anymore
Both walked away and carried on, parallel and didn’t even know

Years later those paths crossed
There was a spark, a little glimmer
She saw in him what she feared was real only for others
He felt in her a love and support he had never felt before.

Over time she had faith again
And he could once again feel the power

Life had taken them down long and winding paths
That hurt and made them bitter.
God had brought those paths together
And showed them…. Love could exist in another

The lessons learned, the paths they chose
In the end only makes them stronger
Parallel paths through life they took..
Ending hand in hand on one road together.
