thank you...

thank you for showing me that there are nice people left about. thank you for wonderful parents. thank you for wonderful "better-halfs". thank you for the ever loyal car that patiently brings me to places i need to go. thank you for another wonderful prospect of opportunity to day. thank you for removing the bitterness in my heart as each day passes. thank you for letting me see the good in other people when i would normally hate them. thank you for teaching me humility. thank you for my new lease on life. :-)

Thank you for the new day. Thank for for the new opportunity that presented itself today. Thank you for the delicious dinner. Thank you for making friends. Thank you for the cheese-topped-ensaymada. Thank you for the beautiful multicoloured lights that brightened my night. Thank you for my wonderful husband. Thank you for giving Richard O. the "new him" he deserves.

thank you...

i have laughed and yet my heart is devoid of joy...

i have held gold in my hands but it didn't shine...


i have been honest and yet i feel cheated...


i have made an effort to be nice but people are mean...


i have been running from the ghosts of my past but they always seem to find me...

i have been chasing the silver lining of my future but it is elusive...


i have cried and felt desolate and yet i found the courage to move on...


i have fallen and stumbled, and yet i moved ahead even if i had to crawl...


i picked my self up and started walking again...



and though i am in a quagmire, i see firm land on the other side...


thank you God, for holding my hand all the way...
