:: State of Mind ::

:: Friday, January 24, 2003 ::

i happen to be blessed with someone really great. today i was surprised by a delivery of 2 red roses with a pink bow...and a card that read "dont forget to stop and smell the roses" just a reminder from some one i really care about to remember the little things. and take time to enjoy them. i really am lucky...even though i dont exactly think its luck. what a great day!!

what a great weekend...able to get things out in the open that really needed to be discussed. issues brought to the surface to create that moment in between. a time of understanding, and openness, uncovering wounds and realizing that they are of the past...recognizing the need for trust and truth. a breath of fresh air and sigh of relief..
i think there are a few people who are a bit dissappointed with this decision but ultimatly i have to answer to myself and to God. and this was something i felt that i had to do. and to be quite honest.... im glad that i did it. so now...what's next?.... time will tell, but i am exited about what that might be. as i have been reminded..."let go and let God"
