A work in progress......

Well, truth is, I haven't had much to say lately.  ;-)  Yes, sure I usually always have words to say, but I haven't shared hardly anything from the heart....with anyone for a while.  Surprisingly, I am actually okay with it.  I actually have been learning a lot lately, trying to make positive changes in myself, improvements to become a stronger person. 

Now, time for a quote.......

"too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. "~leo buscaglia

Tonight while looking through quotablecards.com (I looooove these cards) I came upon this quote.  Anyway, I read this quote (one I have read before), and it pretty much sums up how I feel about life.  Truly, this is my mantra.  I really do feel this way about life and people deep down, but often I get so caught up in the day-to-day stresses or frustrations that I just cannot keep my concentration on what is important.  People are important, and me conveying this care and positivity is important!!  I hate that I can let "things" impact me in such a strong way that I get distracted and truly forget how much I want to let others know how important they are in this life.

So.....here is to my continued self-discipline and learning so that I can always be that person I want to be.   

i carry your heart with me

Just sharing a poem that I love........ 

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
