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.
