Oddly enough,

No matter how many times we think about it, the truth remains that what we really want, is another who cares enough about us to listen. A one who delights in our company, enjoys our subtleties, and embraces the outline of our convictions.

Should that not be what you think, I understand.

But I thought it was worth sharing....

It has been confirmed, today(everyday) He is risin!

Me, I am blessed by the day, and the worship and teachings at church as well, so my heart, my heart is filled with Joy right now. And you, how are you today?

Often of course, I wonder about you, and wish that you would write more, and yet, I know you're busy, so I smile anyway.

Be good as you go today, and remember, the next man, even if he isn't me, he should be as good to you, as I (am)would have been, so please, choose wisely, and react, accordingly....

And Yes, April arrived a few days ago,

And as I started work in the gardens, began to clean up the train track lay out, and plotted a strategy for the coming season, me, me I looked back over the past winter and all that wasn't completed from my last year here in the valley, and yet, I found reason(s) to smile:

As the sun returns, and the grasses begin to burn,
me, me I'll still have you.

And though you've married another and you both have a new baby to enjoy me, me I still have your friendship!

And though the economy is forcing you to flower into the pixie you should have always been, still, when you went home, thousands of miles away, I knew how much you missed me, and me, me, I still have you near.

And of course, no matter the number of pretty boys calling, or those who chase you around the car show circuit, in the end, as the day concludes, you're always alone(save for the children), and in that way, I still have you too!

Many a friend, from Spokane to Paris Hobbs, to Alberta, and beyond, keep me connected, keep my words infected with love and joy and bliss and truth, that as I looked out over the gardens I'll plant this year, I knew one thing was surely to come to pass during the season that sun returns to the valley, me, me I'll be on the road a lot this year, and as I stop to rest, I truly hope you'll be there when I call to say that me, me, I'm right outside, come, let's play while the sun shines brightly, upon us both.

And who knows, maybe this is the year that changes it all?
Me, me I can only hope and wait with glee.....

H20

Contained within you is strength enough to fight for victory,
yet gentle nonetheless, to wipe the tears from a child's cheek.

Enduring enough to withstand any crisis, and yet,
caring still to mend the broken hearted amongst us.

Faithful enough to stay,
when everything(one) else has
left, or been lost.

And in that, true friendships are realized!
