Gifts

Amazing things happen when you just shut up and look around you.
The gift of perfect wind to fly my kite.
A gift of a dance from a child.
A gift of a smile from old eyes that are forgetful of youth.
The gift to be healthy and able to breath, walk, dance, sing, jump, and play.
The gift of my children calling me and telling me they love me.
The gift of my parents being around me still.
More gifts than I could ever dream of.

Life is a gift. Trust is a bigger gift.

I once trusted no one.
Now my belief is that I can trust myself to do exactly what I need to do to take care of myself.
I am nor can I influence another soul.
Don't want the job either.

I have a wonderful friend coming back into the US in a couple of weeks. Marty is finished with his contract.
It will take a bit for him to acclimate to the time change and the culture shock from being away.
I am sure all of his lady friends will want time with him.
I am sure his biggest claim will be his Children (they are lady friends too!)

All other close friends have new lives to lead.
Kassy spends some time with me. We will be doing some trails this weekend.
I am supposed to ride with my daughter on Sunday morning (if it doesn't rain).
I look forward to the slower years of my life.

Now...I need the quiet...I have been to involved in the outer world and forgotten of my inner world.

My daughter pointed out that the hundred acre woods didn't dissappear..they just ended up in my back yard.

How right you are Amanda.
I thank you.

Soon will be a huge group of us going to Scarborough Faire. Amanda and I always dance there together. I have no
clue as to who all is going.
I don't really care.
It is important that I go with my daughter. I wish my son enjoyed it too.
He is also a fine dancer.

Time to be my own again.

See you all on the trails sometime...or in the sky.
