And so it goes

Birthdays come.
Anniversarys pass.
First dates happen.
Followed sometimes (hopefully) by first kisses.
The mailman passes.
The sun sets.
The moon rises.
Sometimes there are good things.
Sometimes there are bad things.
There are bad days. Horrid days. Days that you dread ever having happen again.
Sometimes there are wonderful days filled with joy when everything sparkles and takes on a golden tone. We make every effort to not take them for granted.. when we remember to.
Those days end too.
Sometimes you go to bed just to dread getting up to do it again.
Then there are the nights where you can barely lay in one spot for all the wiggling from without and within. The jump of anticipation.. the twitch of what if..

There are great announcements followed by drama tinged secondary announcements.
Peace on earth reigns and wanes (waning now as we speak).

Flowers bloom
Birds sing.
Coffee perks.
And there he is again.. just as if he'd never left. Without reason or rhyme or explanation.
And you think you imagined it.. but you know you didnt.
The one thing you've made very sure thus far is this: you are not crazy.

Twisted.. for sure. Crazy.. we wouldn't be lucky enough to rate the title of crazy.

So you focus on the good. The circle of life continuing. The joy of what was supposed to be difficult. The miracle of life. The beauty of those who do things right.. in the right order.

I never was one to follow someone else's idea of order. Or Right. Or Proper.
Twisted? Remember? But I can honor what is good. Right. True.

I pray for safety.
I pray for peace.
I pray for comfort and calm.
I pray for harmony.
And if all else fails?
I pray for hope.
As long as there is a star in the sky.. there is hope.
