Hey again,
I had such a good day today and I feel really good. I wrote a couple poems today in which I will put at the bottom of this entry. And I did a really good deed too. I was getting off the bus today and I noticed that a kid was struggling to carry his stuff and walk on crutches at the same time, so I offered to carry his things to class to help him out. I felt so good doing it too. Proud of myself. And you know what else I realized today? That I can make so many people smile just by saying "hi" to them. That is something that I never realized before today. It's amazing how quickly a smile can jump from one person to the next and all you did was look at someone and share your happiness with them! I love knowing that I can make another person smile. It really does warm my heart and soul. I actually talked to someone new on the bus today instead of listening to my C.D. player. That felt really good too.
Tomorrow night I get to go out with James. We're going to a concert with a band called 'The O Zone.' James personally knows the lead guitarist in the band and I get to hear them play together before the whole thing starts! That is gonna be so awesome! I love James with all my heart. And you know what else? I wouldn't trade him for anyone in the world. (And yes, that includes Dale Jr.!) I love to hear him say that he loves me with all his heart every time he gets off the phone with me. And if I got to hear him say that for the rest of my life, I would feel so blessed. And just writing that makes me realize I am blessed. I'm blessed to be alive, to have James, to posess musical tallent, and to be able to write. There are so many things to be thankful for, and I pray and thank God for them every day!
Slow Dance:
Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterflys eratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask 'How are you?'
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told your child 'We'll do it tomorrow'
And in your haste not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch?
Let a good friendship die?
'Cause you never had time to call and say 'hi?'
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
When you run to fast
To get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there
When you worry and hurry through your day
It's like and unopened gift....
Thrown away
Life is not a race
Do take it slower
Here the music
Before the song is over.
