FREE WRITING...

When I'm not there... do you think of me? When you're sad and something's bothering you... do you wish I were there to help comfort you? When you've had a long hard day... do you smile knowing that soon you'll be seeing me, and everything will seem better, even if it's just for a moment? When you lay down at night... do you look back and cherish the new memories you've made with me? And when you get up in the morning, does everything inside of you smile, knowing that this will be another day that we'll be together, because that's how I think of you...

I don’t know why you can’t hear this in person or why you think it’s mushy or stupid but here goes…It's YOU. You mean everything to me... you are the first thought in my head in the morning when I wake up; my last thought before I go to bed. You smile at me in my dreams... when you are sad, I feel sad, and when I see your true smile, I feel incredible, like there is no other thing around and all I can see is you.

While you sleep I tell you goodnight with tears in my eyes and whisper that I love you as not to wake you up but still hoping you may hear me some how, although I am next to you I wish we were curled up by side by side holding each other, it never comes…Time passes, But not fast enough, I try to be strong. But I'm not that tough, when I again feel your embrace it will be all right, but my heart aches for you on this lonely night.

What I have with her is worth it. It is worth every lonely night, every tear I cry from missing her, and the pain I feel from not having her close even though she is here with me. It is worth it because he is my one and only. When I picture myself years from now, I see only her. No matter how painful distance can be, real or emotional, not having her in my life would be worse.

Late at night when the entire world is sleeping, I stay up and think of you and watch you as you take in breath. And I wish on a star that somewhere in your dreams that you were thinking of me and watching me and loving me too…

The worst feeling of being alone is when you’re alone with the one that you love in your presence.  No looks, no touches, no smile...I will continue to look out of the corner of my eye when she is not looking.  I will continue to tear up when she is not looking.  I will continue to say I love you, I will continue to hug her…I will just continue…if that is all that I am allowed to do…

MY RULES FOR A PERFECT DAY


MY RULES FOR A PERFECT DAY

1. Just for today, I will try to live through this day only -- and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do some things for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt I had to keep them up for a life-time.

2. Just for today, I will be happy. This assumes that what Abraham Lincoln said is true, that. "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." Happiness is from within -- it is not a matter of externals.

3. Just for today, I will adjust myself to what is and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my family, my business, and my luck as they come and fit myself to them.

4. Just -for today, I will take care of my body. I will exercise it, care for it, and nourish it and not abuse it nor neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my will.

5. Just for today, I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer all day. I will.read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

6. Just for today, I will.exercise my soul in three ways, to wit: (1) I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. If anybody knows of it, it will not count. (2) I will do at least two things I don't want to do, just for exercise of will-power. (3) I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt. They may be hurt, but today I will not show it.

7. Just for today, I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress as becomingly as possible, talk low, act courteously, be liberal with praise, and criticize not one bit nor find fault with anything, and not try to regulate nor improve anyone.

8. Just for today, I will have a program. I will write down just what I expect to do every hour. I may not follow it exactly, but I'll have it as a pattern to follow. It will save me from the two pests - HURRY and INDECISION.

9. Just for today, I will have a quiet half-hour, all by myself, and relax. In this half-hour, some time, I will think of God, so as to get a little more perspective to my life.

10. Just for today, I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to be happy, to enjoy what is beautiful, to love and to believe that those I love, love me.
