For just a moment, I thought I saw a brief glimpse of heaven.
at least that is what I thought it was, until it left so sudden.
Maybe it was just a ray of hope, that someday might be better
I know that only for a short time, that some moments last forever.
If you get the chance to see this glimpse,
I hope the rays shine bright
And rest assured that love exists if only in our eyes.

You never know what your life path brings, it's full of surprises, some good and some bad. I have to say that it definitely keeps life interesting, and very seldom boring. It's funny how things you think are going to happen never turn out the way you think. Not necessarily bad, but for sure different. I guess I have learned to just go with the flow. ok, so maybe I haven't learned it all that well...but i'm trying. My grandmother taught me that loving someone didn't mean you controlled them, and that you give love freely to everyone, not just certain people who you approve of...or who you think DESERVE your love. That is not how it works. Sure it's not easy just giving it out without expecting it in return...but that's the best part of the whole thing. Is when you LEAST expect it, is when it is returned. To know that kind of love, I think you have to live a long time, I think I have only experienced that maybe twice, and one of those experiences was from my grandmother. Who, no matter how bad I was, or what I got myself into (and I was INTO plenty) she loved me. I never once had a doubt about that. Even now, if I am down, or just feeling blah, I can think about the times I spent with her, and just feel at peace. That at least ONE person in my life loved me with out reason. I didn't have to be SOMEONE special, I could just be me. Her spirit definitely motivates me to be better, and give more of myself.

Well, I am off to slumberland (where there is a dream waiting for me) Plus I need to snuggle in the covers...it's COLD out here.   Take care,
