Lumpy Oatmeal makes me Crazy!

I thought the grass was greener on the other side
That the flowers were larger and had more color
But, I found when there that I had to change
When I sought what I already had
I found all those dreams I had put on hold
were now sitting still on the wrong side of the fence
And I had to climb back over to get them.
Maybe I found that what I thought was better
Is really simply not my reality.

How true your words here dear friend, I don't think it is the other side of the fence at all, but changing our ways and life to suit who we are now. Yesterday things might have been great, things change and the grass that may have been green had died with the flowers that were rarely watered. This life does give us choice, making our choices and sticking with them is I think the hardest thing to do. A sea change would do us all good, misery holds hard lessons and sadness is a heavy load to bear.
I hope you are well my friend, don't forget at one time or another we all go through it.
Be well, may your grass be green and your flowers bright and happy.

Sincerely
Rick

Rick,
You have become a real gift to me.  I love how you write and how you express yourself.  And, I am impacted by the positive nature that you show us.  Thank you for these words -- I have learned much this last week.  I have learned a lot about myself.  You are a good friend ...

and learning about ourselves
is the journey...

I am glad you've climbed back over the fence
aziza...
I couldn't see you
over there

The climbing back and forth has been hard.  I am not sure that I am the same person that I was a week or so ago.  But, I am here ... hugging you and savoring the story you weave for us.

Dear aziza, it is nice to become friends, to share our souls and words of truth, which unfortunately I hold in much too often. Here we are our true selves, not worried too much about being judged, because in truth most us have been there. It is very cleansing to write what we feel and very rewarding to find people who understand, I enjoy your company here aziza and your friendship, thank you for your words, I hope you are well and copping with life, take care, we will speak through out words again soon.

Hugs of friendship.

Rick

Alison, each breath we draw changes us a little. You have such a wonderful soul, it pours out through your words. Sending you my thoughts, keeping you in my prayers, thanking you for your sharing.
