Love and Being in Love

Love and being in love are totally different in my opinion.

We can love many at any given time. They can be friends or lovers. We love for many reasons. Some of us can love someone just from physical appearance (superficially) or the way they talk or we can love them for how they are when they are with us. Some of us love being in love, it doesn't have to be that one special person that makes our hearts go pitter patter. Some of us need to have someone around to keep from being alone, but whatever that reason, we find ourselves searching for that four letter word and wondering if it could be real for us. 

I have loved a great deal of guys/men at one time or another. No, I didn't like dating and when I did, they were usually double dates; these guys whom I have loved were my guy friends. I loved them for how they were around me. These guys were the best. They were  always there when I needed them and always protective, especially, if they  felt another guy outside our group had made inappropriate advances. These guys, always fun and never boring. I loved them all, differently.

Being in love is something more profound, sacred, and special between two people. Loving someone with everything you are and have. Every time you look at one another, and instant smile and a longing for touch. And when you kiss; skyrockets go off. Yes, I have actually seen skyrockets one time in my life and they were lighting up the night sky.  Just thinking of them sends a shiver up your spine and your eyes light up. And when you are together, no one else in the room. You just know--- love isn't very far behind.  And when you are apart; emptiness inside and the longing for them is so deep, you can't eat or sleep and you find yourself daydreaming of being with them again.  Being in love with another is a feeling like no other....... they get you like no other and when you touch and look into one another's eyes; finding the other's soul and becoming one. Two people joining as one couple and one heart.   This is the love that most of us want to find.

Footprints (one moment in time)

From the moment we open our eyes and take our first breath, we begin to leave our footprints.

They follow us when we take our first walk or speak our first word. Throughout life from school to graduation to college, to work, to marriage, family and friends. Our footprints are there where ever we go.

As we come to the end - Death- is only but the first step in our footprints. And those (of us) left behind - there is only sorrow and pain.  And as time goes by, those left behind seek those lost footprints and with a few tears; those footprints, begin to bring a smile. For all those lost prints have left memories to share. 

Death may be the final print we have to take, but each step will be one moment in time. After all, We are just one moment in time.  

Thanks----

Those unanswered questions.

You know when you think you have figured it out and then "wham" it hits you with another twist and turn? Things you thought you knew turns out could/could not be.  


Sometimes IT can be true and kept from you/us for unknown reasons and other times, it can very well be "unanswered questions" playing around with your/our  mind.  You/we are the pawn from which those tricks are played.  Or maybe we become gullible to those "unanswered questions" and we take on a perception of the truth/lie that we and we only can hold on to? And when I say hold on to, I mean holding on can either make us or break us. 

Sometimes, those "unanswered questions" can drive us deep inside to do or think unimaginable things. To find a lost love or to seek the truth that only one person can give you/us, but again;they too are lost. Where is that answer? What is true/false? You/we have your/our conversations with them and you know deep inside what felt true and then one day--- gone--- whether in death or by their own means or someone else's --- move away and so forth... losing contact with that special friend/person and hearing things afterward that you/one can hardly believe. But, what is true or a lie? If in death that person can never answer  and it's just as hard trying to find those that are lost; either by their hands or another's and seek those "unanswered questions".  Some love to play games with others and some are just caught up in the moment with no ill will at all..  

Sometimes, is it best to just let it go or to seek out that truth/lie? Do you believe your heart or your head? Everyone deserves their "answers" but if that other is not there and those that might know will not come forth.... all you/we have are the memories of conversations that were true to you/us and sometimes that is all that matters (to get us through the day); until one day those "unanswered questions" will simply be a faded memory.  

Thanks----

Dear Mr. President (my opinion)

Mr, President,

When you were elected you were the vision of hope for many. Your Hope and Change and promises of transparency were what this country and people were needing. But, as you settled down into your position of being our President, seems you had taken it to mean you were King.

The Hope and Change you so eloquently spoke about is nothing more than the transformation of our country to being nothing short of socialism. Our rights are being trampled on. Our Freedom is in question. Our taxes rising. Instead of leading our country it's been as a dictatorship, things (laws)  passed in the dawn of night without say so (this Obamacare is crap and we were lied to, you know it) , until it's done, and your Executive Orders are for the birds. And your Change is it that you have divided our country so that it may never be repaired and that our allies never trust us, again?

I say this not out of disrespect but out of sorrow and anger You have been the number one person along with those you confide to have divided this country in racism and class. I am still undecided if this was your plan from the first or you gradually moved that direction. 

For those in poverty, blacks and whites, you seemed to have heard their cries for opportunity to strive but instead no jobs/work, more young people live at home now more than ever and the poor, especially the blacks have suffered from your policies more than ever. More black people are out of work than anytime in history. We have more people on government assistance more than ever and our debt has grown, under you, more than any one before you.  Why? 

Why is it that there are more scandals under your administration than any other? Why is telling a lie more important than the truth. We can handle the truth, we just don't know it. You seem to be like a little kid, when he doesn't get his way, goes off stomping and give an attitude.  That should not be, Mr President...   Do you not, honestly, care about this country------??  it doesn't seem as if you do.   Since you have came into office, you have done nothing but belittle this great country, that has given you so much.......    Yes, it's had it's moments as does anything, but yet we are strong and have been a leader for many across the seas. You and your policies have all but destroyed that. 

Why is the race card for you and Sharpton,Holder always played? You should rise above and be a leader not an activist or complainer.  Yes, do we still have race relations to work on....  but for things that are not race, you guys have done nothing but fuel the flame. Instead, of a leader asking for the people to be peaceful, you encouraged violence and blame game. Not once do you call on Black on Black Crime.........why is that, Mr President........  is it that you only want them to think that it's the White man's way (you are half white, makes no sense) and you want as most of the Democrats want all those in poverty to stay under the thumb and slave to the Government?   Why can't you stand for the police??  yes, again, good and bad but majority they are all hardworking and would stand and defend you with their life as would the Military which you throw under the bus just as much.  

There is much blame to go around from past, Republicans and Democrats......  I don't know where all get their morals or where those morals go when you get in office but they go out the window...  but you --- you should and said that you would be that hope for many..........   and yet the corruption still and worsens under you. The IRS, Obamacare, Benghazi, Immigration, VA and Holder's crap........ has not gone unnoticed by WE THE PEOPLE......  we grow tired of the hungry hippo called the Government and it's time someone comes in to show those in poverty that you can make and do for yourself ....


We need jobs, we need less government in our lives, we need, opportunity to build, we need to have our voice, we need God in our Country back....... We damn well need English  and damn well want Political Correctness out of our lives...  


My heart aches for this great Country.......   What we have stood for over 200 hundred years, is being destroyed bit by bit and our light grows dim. You are the one person for which we (well not me, I didn't vote for you) gave Hope to Change the course of our Country and make it bright again......   You have only succeeded in the opposite and it's sad that it seems not to affect you in any way..... Where are your tears for those losing their lives protecting you and their community and country?    My words are just my own and I have many things to say but what's the point.... I am nothing or nobody to you and this government, even though, me and millions of us are your boss......
It's sad that our first Black President will be known as our worse....... You could have changed and made us greater than we could be......  We all had hopes for you........  Mr. President--- You let us ALL down....... 


Thanks---

That moment when you forget to push the button.

You know when you have one of those moments....  An ah-ha moment?  That moment when you look at the situation and tell yourself..... did I just do that?  I am such a ding dong.  


A day in the store and walk out to get into the car and find the temperature has risen above the discomfort level.  You turn on the air and flip it on high and it's only bringing warm air through the vent.  You look down to make sure you have it on cold and yet nothing but warm air still flowing through.  Now panic and a little bit of angst comes out.  This can not be happening. The freaking coldest winter ever and now my air doesn't want to work..  This makes me so mad. Now the weather is starting to get warmer. Damn thing best not be out.  

You let it run for a bit just to make sure since the cold weather maybe just maybe it's going to take a little longer, but nothing.  Decided by then to change lanes, instead of driving straight home, decided to take it to the shop  and have them look at it.  Maybe it's the Freon.  Get it to the shop and the manager comes out and starts plugging equipment to the engine in hopes of finding the problem.  Everything looks fine. He gets in starts piddling under the dashboard and turning my button and checking the fuses. Nothing could he find wrong with the air conditioner. After asking for my Owner's Manual, he calmly calls for another mechanic in the back to come and see if he knows what could be wrong.   They took at the fuses, added another piece of equipment to come up with nothing. After telling them there has been a recall on a certain part on the car, they both look at each other and say that could be the problem , but you  need to take it to the dealership ... Okay not a problem, I get back inside the car and turn off the car and I know I am getting a feeling that something is not right. Turn back on the car and look over to the side, while the men are just scratching their heads over my air conditioner. Oh my Holy Lord...... I didn't turn ON the air condition button........    I yelled out... it's working and they looked and came to the side of the car and said what did you do.......... Well, do you think this little red head was going to tell...........   (smiling)  Oh, I just turned off the car and turned it back on......  Oh good, but I would have that checked out... Yes, sir, and I got out of there quickly.   Too embarrassed to even tell them what I did or did not do... Heck it's my own car, it's 11 years old, I know my air conditioner. 

Feeling guilty as I was driving home and feeling a bit like a dummy, I started thinking, well heck why should I be feeling so bad, they were mechanics and looking and poking around and they didn't even notice the button was off.   So, I turned on my happy face and got out of the car.  

Maybe it's age.......not...... these ah-ha moments are coming more frequently.  I am a Lucy-type and if you have read a good deal of my blogs, these moments have been around as long as I have.   R-is for Run/drive not reverse.   and N is for not going.   As long as I can make fun of some of the little quirky things that I do, I am okay. You gotta laugh at yourself in times as these, life is too short to be that uptight.   So, I shall close until my other Ah-ha moment arrives.....


Thanks-----
