Just When I Thought All Hope Was Lost

Reasons were there to walk away.
Others would not have understood
Still love grew. Strongly. Silently.
Ever present, even in absence.

Did you hear my heart call you to me?
Just when I thought all hope was lost?
Somehow you knew I needed you.
And so you came, to make my world right.
Rich again, with joy and promise
Am I dreaming? Is this real?
Just when I thought all hope was lost
All I needed was to hear you ask, Do you love me?
Could you not see my heart in my eyes?
Kiss the tears away so you can.
Just when I thought all hope was lost
All you needed was to hear me say, Yes. I do.
Chase my fears away, no longer will we doubt.
Knowing I am. As I have always been. Yours.

Love is....

Meet Jonah

My Favorite Things

As Julie Andrew's voice lilts through my subconscious...Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens..... here are a few of my favorite things:

• rainstorms, a good book & a cozy bed
  
• looking out at the Puget Sound
  
• long drives to nowhere in particular
  
• time to think
  
• drowning in pillows
• held gazes, slow smiles & silent conversations
  
• fingers brushing my hair, whispers in my ear, warm strength against my back
  
• hearing "I adore you." from the man I love
• kisses from my nieces & nephews
  
• spending quality time with people who bring meaning to my life
  
• reading & writing of life, love and everything in between
  
• listening to music that reminds me of where I've been, where I am and where I can be
  

So much more to add, but this is in essence, me with simple needs, simple wants.


It may sound trite, but when life is a little frustrating and you feel like you're missing something. Or someone. This is what I do. I enumerate my favorite things. Count your blessings if you will. Then my world is right again.
