Gloria Allison ...

I thought of you with love today,

but that is nothing new.

I thought about you yesterday,

and days before that too.

I think of you in silence,

I often speak your name.

All I have are memories &a picture in a frame.

Your memory is a keepsake,

with which I'll never part.

God has you in His keeping,

I have you in my...............

 

 

 

 

 

heart.

 

 

 

 

I wish only to sit over a cup of coffee and unveil my life to you.

I have quite the spring in my step...3/10/10

....and I love it!

Finally, a day above 50 degrees!
*it was still cloudy so a coat was necessary but nontheless!
Charles & I celebrated by going to Black hawk state park..

...

..

..I ran around all over the place.

Really feeling childlike playfulness

Remembering how I once spent my days

as a wee-one.

The ground was so incredibly soft,

so mushy!!

I got my boots diiiirty and had so much fun

jumping around, laughing
and enjoying the much needed temperature change!

heh..Romping through the woods.

wishing I were a bird.

...

Down by the river,

Charlie found a walking-stick!

(it didn't stay with us too long unfortunately.)

 

He is so adorable!!

Love it.

<3<3

 

There were these oval shaped spots

very loose and flaky in texture.

We think they are petrified clam shell's.

What else could they be?

...

 

Walking the trails,

I found this little treasure.

A cardinal's lost feather.

I love the rich red color amongst the earthy brown and beige leaves.

...

Charles leading the way....

..

(I make him stop for photos.)
...

I am so in love with natural bodies of water.

they're mystical magical looking places!

...gnarly trees...
 

{my beau}

...

I found the home of thousands of hibernating ladybugs!

we're ready for you ladies;

Thinking of spring,

my mood is as lightly colored as a soft pastel!

As cloudy as it was,

It smelled like spring.
...

 

Today there is peek-a-boo sunshine and a bike ride is on the agenda.
....
we rode from our house to the district
It was so nice to get my face warmed by the sun
a good sweat in and
my legs feel like jelly heh.
I can't wait to do it again!
(hopefully tomorrow!)
Anywho,
we ate a sandwich downtown and turned around.
when I got home Corie had called
She has a closet of imported beer she is giving away.
She really is one of the most generous people I have ever met
in my entire life. She'll do anything for anyone if needed.

gah! it's so much..

that will take forever to drink down.

but many thanks ms. willet!!

Hope for a great day tomorrow!

Too many voices in your head drowns out the most important one.

I've really been thinking lately.

About my situation, not so much myself.

but, outwardly..

WHO I am towards others,

WHO I have been to people

HOW I want to present myself in the future.

Now, the past is the past.

Yet there are very significant parts of me
still so attached with the past.

Certain rhythms, sounds, scents,

they all take me back.
(as I'm sure they do others.)
I have built up a "Berlin-wall" emotionally.

*note: not supposed be romantically connected.

I just mean, In general...all of it.
graduating a year early.

moving out at the tender age of 18.

supporting myself and another while working full time.

seeing how life is in the real world..

getting your hands dirty ,
appreciating a hard days work.

punching the clock,
waking early.

wishing I were in school instead of digging and sorting through

sometimes, trash.

Leaving a job I let myself get comfortable at...

to throw myself into an office environment

learning a computer program like a second language.

screwing up at it...

being remanded.

it's all built me into a tough little package that

I am so happy I've let myself take this route rather than

just jumping head first into college,
wasting time and money.

which i know i would've done.

I am more than ready to go back and

LEARN!

We've been walking along the river lately

it's really left me feeling

so excited about washing away
the excess.

I've de-cluttered the junk-drawers.

my closet (again...But without holding back!)

I feel like once the unnecessary extra elements of home life

are stripped away,

you can see what you really have....

and appreciate it.

Less laundry,
piles of old papers,

old Cd's,

old notebooks from Chuck's college days.

It's time for simplicity.
