 I think of life as a path as we walk down that path dropping our heart-felt thoughts there comes a time we pause and allow those thoughts to reappear in our view we stand suspended between reality and heart-felt thoughts which had been given with passionate optimism and colored with happiness but sometimes scattered among our optimism and happiness there are dark clouds of of negativity and hopelessness we are saddened by this turn of events even as the dark clouds are soothingly swept away by the warmth of our hearts desire until all are gone lessons have been learned our lives have many roadblocks but if our heart is true and brave roadblocks can be avoided or climbed over into sunny days ahead ©June 21, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

"..but if our heart is true and brave roadblocks can be avoided or climbed over into sunny days ahead" ~love your solid end! ..think even without that sunshine, I've learned- one must dance 'neath those 'dark clouds' most days. (at very least) Most apt advice here Jerry, & evermuch needed. Seems we cannot find sweet life without the grr'd roadblocks. you are shining today, dear sir  low curtsies, ~T "..But a tyrant spell has bound me, And I cannot, cannot go.." ~Emily Bronte 'The Night is Darkening Around Me' |

Yes, I do like your thinking here. It occurs to me too, that sometimes roadblocks are a good thing that keep us from going down a road where the bridge is out. once in a while that roadblock turns out to be a pretty good place to "bloom where you are planted" The end of the road ain't always the end of the journey. ~L |

"Low curtsies," indeed Tanya, you are special. And yep, I learned to dance 'neath those 'dark clouds'. Had to in order to maintain my sanity. Thank you heartily for your wonderful comments . . . ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

You can always feel you "LIVED" while too many sit and ponder. Good writing. Jo |

Oh, you do know what you are talking about, Jo. Wouldn't change too many things even if I given the chance. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
