On Hope and a Prayer

Do you ever feel like everything is changing? That everything is a trial....
Sometimes I just want to reach out and slap someone, okay sometimes multiple someones. And ask them what are they thinking! I wish I could make the choices for them. Then they wouldn't hurt, others wouldn't hurt....I wouldn't hurt.

Then I remember that isn't why we are here. They get to make their own choices. I get to make mine. That was decided along time ago.....a choice I made long ago. So I guess I will just have to learn to take it a day at a time. As hard as it might be love those that I might want to slap.

Love one another.....Love one another.....

Guess I better work on that a little better, pray for guidance, and have hope that in the end it will all work out for the better.

Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon

Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon

Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon

Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon

Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon

Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon

Gone Too Soon.

Dance Marathon

So after getting the kids to clean the living room we had a dance marathon. We took turns showing off our skills which range from the boys Karate and "egg rolls", Lydia practicing for her dance recital  and Taylie copying her. And I even participated, it has been awhile but I must say I rocked the handstands, sommersaults, cartwheels and backbends. It was fun.....we will see how my muscles feel tomorrrow it has been at least 10 years since I have done that.
