December is a favorite month for me . . . First, it's CHRISTMAS, with all the glory, feelings, and meaning that comes with that day - Second, it's the month of my Birth, a very wonderful and special day to me indeed. And also on the same day, the birth of my granddaughter Ryleigh, a very precious event to me. And Third, an on-going event that gives me no end of pleasure, the vows my wife Terry and I professed as we joined our souls as man and wife. (December 23, 1974) While walking in the sunshine, reveling in the warmth of its rays, I thought about the love we share, and how blessed I am, with you as part of my days. It seems I've always needed you, and loving you was as natural as day and night. I can't imagine anything different, and wouldn't want to, what we have is so right. And its not just loving you... that's so easy to do. It's the friendship, the companionship, the sharing of our souls. I think I've always loved you, even before we met. You were Mariah, the Whip-poor-will calling his love. You were Mona Lisa's smile, the star that splashed across the midnight sky, the dream that every person has. You are the way of my life, you are my friend, my companion, my Wife. © wesley james beard, jr. December 23, 2019 ~ ~ ~ |

January 1 is at this moment counting down. Soon – less than two hours, and it will be longest number of years I have ever lived. It’s been a blessing and so much more. There have been trials, some so brazen as to try and suck the soul from my body, yet, here I am, still swinging my feet off the bed each morning, planting them on the floor and telling God – Hey Man, thanks for another one and thanks for all the help getting me to this blessing of another day. It’s all “good” my friends, and I’m glad to see all of you holding your wheels on the road. Bless each of you for stopping in, and even more, Bless each of you for letting me call you . . . my Friends. walk easy . . . Jimmy |
