Sometimes I forget to remember all my blessings. I am truly blessed to have a great, amazing and wonderful son; I never actually forget that. I have a great family, good friends and an abundance of other great things in my life. I sometimes focus on what I don't have instead of realizing that some of the things I think I want or need in my life might be the universe intervention in what's best for me that I might not realize myself. Always trying to remember that I am very lucky and to be grateful for all my true wealth, health and peace in my life.

The heart laid dead inside for years
Just existing and not
Truly living
So with a promise of love
It thought it saw
It took a peak outside
Of its self - contained walls
Wanted to explore
The possibilities of
Happiness, dreams coming true and
Of love once more.
The heart felt the pain of
Unrequited love and
Suffered it did
With tears, sadness and
The loneliness that
Now took hold
With a crushing blow
The heart retreats
Back into the self- contained
Walls of its coffin
And nails itself shut
For eternity.

Our children become what we believe them to be. If we have faith, trust and love for our children they grow with the knowledge that they can be and become anything they set their minds to. Help them to believe that no matter what life throws at them that they can overcome, achieve and prevail . I am always thankful that I have a son that has proven this to me over and over again. I am truly blessed I believe all parents are.

The heart when if feels deeply only sees beauty within the soul of the one it loves.

In life we deal with so many conflicting emotions like hate, anger, resentment, jealousy, joy, peace, happiness, tolerance, and forgiveness. Of all emotions I have felt I choose love as the greatest of all emotions. No matter what life throws at me I will always choose love.

We tend to judge people based on their looks but I would rather be judge based on the quality of my heart and soul. True beauty lies within and then shines outward for the world to see and is based on what we give and bring to the world.

When we look to others for acceptance, trust, honesty, kindness, friendship and love we must first find them within ourselves. We must think we are worthy of all of these things and live our lives with the care for our own happiness and well being. Love and respect ourselves first and then we can accept those same things from others and nothing less.
