I know something good about you.

Wouldn't this old world be better
If the folks we meet would say -
"I know something good about you"
And treat us just that way?

Wouldn't it be fine and dandy
If each handclasp, fond and true,
Carried with it this assurance -
I know something good about you

Wouldn't life be lots more happy
If the good that's in us all
Were the only thing about us
That folks bothered to recall?

Wouldn't life be lots more happy
If we praised the good we see?
For there's such a lot of goodness
In the worst of you and me!

Wouldn't it be nice to practice
That fine way of thinking, too?
You know something good about me,
I know something good about you!

Slow Down

Sometimes I feel like the world is spinning too fast. I look around and wish I could slow everything down. It doesn't seem like that long ago that I was fresh out of high school and I had the world at my feet. I know I'm still young but now I'm married with a beautiful baby boy. I see all the college kids come into town living the carefree life and sometimes I miss it. Not very often b/c I'm really happy with the life I have.

It's like I'm digging my heels into the ground trying to stop but I just go deeper into the ground. I think everyone should live everyday to the fullest but who has time for that? I know I don't live everyday like it's my last. I do really enjoy my husband and my son. So I guess I do live a full life. :)

A New Life

My life has been "changed" many times.

Things happen that open your eyes and alter your way of thinking. These things affect your heart. Of course my life was changed when I met Kyle. It was further changed when he became my husband. I didn't think I could be any happier. I had my prince charming and our lives were bound together in the eyes of God. Our lives were also bound together by the person I had growing in my womb. A combination of God's divine plan and our love for one another. We created a life out of our passion. The anticipation was great and finally here comes this wonderful change. His arrival instantly transformed me. Seeing his angelic face for the first time, hearing his helpless cry. That person I used to be was no longer there. It was like she was killed by this new person I became. I was reborn with the birth of my son. Finally I knew the meaning of absolute unconditional love. I could tell the first time that I saw Gabriel and the first time I held him in my arms that there was nothing he would ever do to change the way I felt about him. Life seemed so clear to me now. I finally had fulfillment that I didn't even know I was missing. It's rewarding to talk to someone who doesn't talk back. The greatest satisfaction is the sweetest smile. Some people might think it's strange. Maybe parenthood isn't for everyone but i don't think there is a better feeling on earth.
