Blessings Not Considered (or, Finding New Ways to Pick Up Silver Linings)… If it hadn’t been for him… who seeded this body giving me daughters, who bequeathed me with Morgan, Christopher, Michael and Emily…. If it hadn’t been for the second him… who, by virtue of a second marriage, brought me a daughter and son-in-law who bequeathed us with Lauren and Grant… ~*~ If it hadn’t been for them… who allowed me the blessings of their insight, even when some of their stories were never truly shared, still, if I look around, the scattered pieces seem to start to make some sense…. and if it hadn’t been for them…. who cried inwardly when I stumbled, still allowing me to try to stand on my own, even when all I wanted was to be cuddled and loved by them, to return to the status of being someone’s little girl shy…. ~*~ If it hadn’t been for a public place where the most private of thoughts find a foothold in some blue hallways where we think we are alone, while surrounded with others who feel… just like us, empathetic with our moods… if it hadn’t been for this public place, where one man makes it possible to find the silver linings of a day when all the world seems gray where tears wash pains away… if it hadn’t been for you…. the reader… the writer… I would not have known to consider all of the blessings in my life… "There's a reason they call God The Creator - he sides with talent."

How rich is the reward of sharing together and ever more so because you are here. The depth of your caring is exceeded only by the goodness of your heart. And who would ever have dreamed that it would be blue halls that bring so much joy. Bless you for being here and giving us such wonderful reasons to return. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. [This message has been edited by Larry C (12-04-2005 12:54 AM).] |

Sunshine, Thanks for reminding me! It sure is easy to get wrapped up in a few negatives and forget all the good! Yes, there is so much good to be found among the blue walls and all around. miscellanea |
