Mike and I started saying this to each other when we first married. It has continued on for years and now our children are continuing it in their lives.

Time in a Bottle


I have found me.  What a strange thing to say when I have been me all along.  But the woman I have found within is stronger, more resilient.  I have found I can speak my mind.  I have found that I can be open to feelings and that when I show those feelings, it is OK.

Do you remember the song "Time In A Bottle" by Jim Croce?  Today, I felt like that.  Of I could put time In a bottle, I would want to spend every day with you.

No, not a person, well maybe...  But with me.

I have changed so much over the last 2 plus years....  But I have found that I have grown and the woman I have found, I want to spend time with.

Would I change anything?  No, well maybe, but then again, maybe not.  I found me.  A woman who is passionate and in some ways strong and others not so strong.  I found those who were true friends and have taken me into their lives - warts and all.  I have found those who only want to be friends if it is convenient.


I have found true friendship and in some cases love.  I have also found those who will use you.

I have a friend who is seeking more in life and I envy her for it.  She seeks the best in everything that happens around her and I strive to do that as well.

Life - it is different for each of us, but it really is worth living.

I look forward to the new year and I release my expectations of  people and what they do.  I will be open and enjoy the time I have.  I have saved those days - they mean a lot to me because the days have helped me grow and become who I am.

Love,
Forever and a Day...



If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
