My friend

I read my friends blog today.  What a story of love, of hope, of despair, but mainly a story of love.  You know i've posted many blogs about broken heart and love, but really its not quite the same.  Sure, I love her, but this other type of love is so unselfish.  So not about me and so about just compassion, human spirit, human solidarity.  When i think about it thats whats missing from the world today.  Everyone is just out for themselves, but not my lil skittles. (LOL) Nope she is a lover of the world and probably most everyone.  Tonight reading her blog has shifted me in ways that i can't explain.  I know this much...while i've always known that everyone has a story and i've typically rarely judgemental of homeless people, from now on i will do my best when the opportunity presents itself to form a connection, to do something different...to be that human that wants solidarity with someone that is different from her.  To really be LOVE.

all wrong

i've been coming at this all wrong...i'm posting heartache, sadness, lack, scarcity...but there is so much more.  So much i'm grateful for...so much i am in love with.  My life, my children, my grandchildren....My family/friends.  Its really a beautiful life and i'm not taking it taking it for granted any longer.
