Dessert

Imagine that life is much more then just good or bad.
Today you may be happy and tomorrow may find you sad.
My life is a collection of interwoven experiences some I want to forget and some I remember well.
Relationships that seemed to pass and some doomed to fail.
After all is said and done I find my life has been boring at times and others times full of fun.
Life is to live and love,
to laugh and cry,
to give to partake to hesitate,
to suffer and die.
Yes sometimes life really seems to be full of hurt and other times in moments of pleasure we need to take the time to enjoy dessert.

I liked this,
But I believe it could be better
If in little bites,

Example:
Life is to live and love, to laugh and cry, to give to partake to hesitate, to suffer and die.

could be
Life is to live and love,
to laugh and cry,
to give to partake to hesitate,
to suffer and die.

putting line breaks were natural pauses might be.
Just a friendly observation.

Yesh... living life to the fullest includes leaving room for dessert. The main course is not always everything exciting.

*giggling* Life is a banquet that is spread before us to be enjoyed. I have had lots of bad in my life but I have also not lived a boring life. Take for example: the time I was chased by a tank   *giggling* but that's another story. I have lived all across Canada and found something unique whereever I have been so those things I savor. *sigh* I love life and I love new experiences.....it keeps me feeling young no matter the pain I have had from relationships. Embrace life, dear James and it will embrace you right back.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
