BabyLove....

Close your eyes and you will see ME there. Not an image of my body, or the clothes that I have on...But you will feel my spirit, my energy.

Close your eyes and you will hear my voice, my thoughts, my opinions.

Close your eyes and you will undoubtedly hear my laugh.

Close your eyes and you will smell the scent that reminds you of me.

Close your eyes and feel the tears that you wiped from my cheek.

Close your eyes and touch my dimples, as you did the first, the second and the last time.

Close your eyes and feel the softness of my skin.

Close your eyes and feel the comfort that you feel, knowing that I am yours.

Forever and Always....When you close your eyes babylove...I'll be there.

Tomorrow I want to be...

...sitting in the sand, next to the ocean...Listening to Gator laugh; while he tells me something silly or goofy. I want to feel the waves at my feet, as we walk and talk...And continually laugh at ourselves and our giddiness. We would be talking like we do every other night...Except this time; we will be seeing one another; as if "everytime was the first time". He could be telling me about his day, and the drama that the girls sometimes put him through. Or he could be talking to me about his dreams, his aspirations, his passion for the music that he writes. And I will listen....And savor every moment that I hear his voice, his laugh...Just like I savor every sound that I hear, when he plays for me...Knowing that later on, I will be sitting in front of him and the piano...Watching as his beautiful hands glide effortlessly across the keys..Seeing the passion in his face, his smile....As he continues to play.....And I continue to fall in love with him. Tomorrow is going to be a good day!

Today I Was .....

.... Taking a walk along the mountain brow in good ole "H-Town". This is one of my favourite places to walk, tea in hand...Thinking about, days past and the days yet to come. I've come here plenty of times before; to share my secrets and my thoughts with the wind. When I come here, I "exhale" and I am filled with memories of laughter, tears of joy and of sadness. I remember the first (of many) times we came here, Tina driving the Jimmy (a.k.a ECKTO), Brett in the front,Nicole, Rob and I in the back and Dana in the far back..Thinking we were cool as hell. SHOOT...WE WERE COOL AS HELL!!!LOL. Filing out of the truck, laughing our a**es off about this, that or the other. Talking into the night. More often then not...We were late getting back from the "video store" HA!!! Later years, brought Rob and I there alone...awww. Brett and I would come here...Drink coffee, share a cigarette and talk about his plans to move to Cali and finally have "Never Say goodbye" picked up by some huge production company. LOL Even later, brought the "Party Pit"(nuff said) here...LOL wow..The Party Pit (Nicole, Ricky,Chris,Bruno,Jap, Tina and myself)...Classic time. Then the "Prep Club"(Timi, Gonzo,Coona, Xnay,Dave and I) (gotta love high school). Then of course the infamous "Gino" wedding....And the "Walk and Talk"(WA----WAY!!!!!) *smile* Not soo long ago it was "Pretty" and I, talking late into the night, about everything, everybody...Nothing and nobody. Sharing smiles and legitimate ego battles, witty banter back and forth...LOL Rich and I bringing Camryn here as a baby, to play ball...and laughing when you almost kicked the ball over the edge...more than once!LOL Sometimes I would come alone and think about Nicole and how much I really did miss her...and wished she were with me at that moment. I can't forget Stan and Hogie.... Memorable moments, thoughtful discussions, laughter once again. Hmmm..... I never realized how this spot has seen me grow, heard me dream and wonder....... As I walk along the ridge thinking of all of these moments, these people...I *smile* and think of each and everyone of them; for these people, this place, is a piece of me that I will never let fade away.Simply, I am blessed.

How far are we?

When we move our thoughts to the center of our hearts, there the ego is melted by loving compassion, for all others and for ourselves. Especially to the man or woman that we give our heart to. Time passes; life happens and in a lot of cases…distances separate. Sadly, I am not only talking about geographical locations. You could be miles a apart from your love, living coast to coast. But it could be worse; you could be in the same room and be sitting down beside him/her and still be miles apart.
