Life is filled with so many exciting twists and turns. I’m hopping off the straight

and narrow and taking the winding paths to experience the exhilaration of the view from the edge. The moments spent there, definitely will take my breath away and what makes me feel truly alive again. For sure, life is short and we never have enough time for gladdening the hearts of those who travel the way with us. Oh, be swift to love! Darn! Falling in love with someone isn't always going to be easy... anger... tears... laughter... It's when you want to believe to be together despite it all. That's when you truly love another. Funny, really…. Is it truly the sensible thing to do??? They said, “It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion, that once it envelops you it does not depart. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn't love you were in. There are no 'exit' signs in love; there is only an on ramp.” Thus, it makes me think again, there’s truth in it somehow. All the flashes back is striking like lightning bolt thundering my thoughts and make me wish. May we comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss our lips, sunsets to warm our heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for our eyes to see, friendships to brighten our being, faith so that we can believe, confidence for when we doubt, courage to know our self, patience to accept the truth, love to complete our life. I don’t care what people may say and they may perceive it; but I can tell what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you. Don't rely on someone else for our happiness and self worth. Only we can be responsible for that. If we can't love and respect our self - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who we are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as WE see fit - not because we think someone else wants us to be different. Therefore, the most reasonable thing to do is always remember to slow down in life; live, breathe, and learn; take a look around whenever have time and never forget everything and every person that has the least place within our heart. Like the wind crying endlessly through the universe, time carries away the name and the deeds of loved one’s and friends alike. And all that we are, all that remains, is in the memories of those who cared we came this way for a brief moment. As I look back on all that's happened I realize how much I truly miss you and how much I truly love you. The past may be gone forever...and whatever the future holds, our todays make the memories of tomorrow. So, my lifetime friend, it is with all my heart that I send you my love, hoping that you'll always carry my smile with you, for all we have meant to each other and for whatever the future may hold.
