Looking out over the water.
The sunset, orange paint strokes against the sky.
The clouds lay low, you can almost touch them.
Climb on and sail away.
The water like glass, a perfect reflection of the sunset in the lake.
Romance,
Wonder,
Magnificence.
and Awe.
I always fall hard and fast when I think that I’ve found the One.
The One is that man who loves me more than anything, exactly as I am.
Together we celebrate one another in a way that brings out the best in each of us. We do this without attempting to change the other nor do we try to make the one another fit into what or how we think they should be.
We both find that we are better people for knowing each other.
It’s all comes down to how I feel when I’m with him. That's what makes him the One. It must be fun and it must be true.
If it loses either of these qualities then it’s over; it's that simple. No regrets, no looking back. I find another One.
Luckily, I have met more than one One.
It's that time of year when we Americans tend to take time to think about what we're grateful for.
It's a time of thanks and a time of reflection. And a time to eat a lot of Turkey, Ham and Potatoes. It's the time of year when everyone forgives themselves for over indulging "Well, it's the holidays," and it's the time of year when many of us go to spend time with family that we don't see any other time of the year.
What am I Thankful for?
I couldn't possibly list all the wonders in my life, so I'll focus on my favorite things...family, friends and men.
Being connected to people is the most gratifying and amazing aspect of being human.
I've been lucky enough to have the most extraordinary relationships in all areas of my life. I believe it's because I'm open to everything and look for the good in all. I've met incredible people from the men in my bed; to the friends I work and play with; to the family I was born into. Even the bad ones are good and provide me with rich experiences and wisdom I would otherwise not have gained.
The following is a slide show of some who are special to me and without which, my life would not be nearly as full of magic. (RSS Readers: go here.)
I've always felt that I am extremely lucky and blessed. I'm certain that life continually gives me more gifts than I've earn and I truly appreciate it.
I believe that it is essential to express love openly and honestly –
and often.
People are afraid of this. Like maybe it’s a trap.
Never is love a trap, always it is freedom.
