Simple words and gestures

Im right here,

and Im not going anywhere,

so when you're ready, 

Im right here, waiting for you.

--

Don't make excuses, just tell me the truth!

Don't leave me hanging, making me wonder.

I've had enough of feeling

that Im not worth your time,

So just tell me! So I can move on.

I can already tell you have,

so give me the courtesy of doing the same!

--

All I want is you,

I can't imagine going a day with seeing you.

Your arms around me, your eyes looking into mine, 

You haunt my thoughts, my dreams, my future.

You take me as I am, which is more than I can ask for, 

All I want is you, here with me. 

--

I shiver from the smallest touches that you make, 

Smile every time I think about you, which is all the time. 

You make my heart melt when you say those three little words, 

I feel the pang of guilt, knowing that you're not with me anymore,

knowing it was my fault, but Im glad that we had that time together, 

even though you may not feel the same.

--

You draw me closer to you,

I try to brace myself for what's to come next.

You place your hand on my cheek, looking into my eyes,

The simple gesture makes my heart melt.

Wanting to do more, you lean forward, my heart racing,

Lightly touching my lips with yours.

You pause, waiting for a reply, 

I wrap my arms around your shoulder, you kiss me,

Loving the feel, the taste.

I feel your hands wandering everywhere on me, 

my mind racing, leaning into you more.

Suddenly, you tightly wrap your arms around me, 

I giggle, slightly afraid. 

I feel you smile against my lips, liking it.

You tighten your hold, while I tighten mine, 

our kiss intensifying, if that was possible...

Value the process, not just the product

Now, I believe there are two parts to the whole Secret thing. Don't just throw yourself into the unknown, thinking positively, wishfully thinking that things will just happen for you; you have to work it out, no one else. So that means getting off your ass and getting out there to make these things happen. You'll gain more than you can imagine when you work hard enough on your goals, whatever they may be. Think about it! Do you let someone in your life do things that you should be doing? hmm? Tell me, what do you gain from that? Yeah, you get out of doing the work and maybe (but hopefully not) gaining some credit from it. 

So think about something that you worked really hard on. Such as learning the play something on a guitar, or a huge account from your business. How did you feel when you finished something that you worked hard on? Made something from basically out of nothing, using your knowledge and skills? Feels good, doesn't it? Now hold that thought! Hold it for just a second! With that feeling, think about what you did to do whatever it is you did. HOW did you do it?? Did you have an idea that no one else of? Did you use your own two hands? Or did you use your awesome teamwork and leadership skills to get a group together and finish a project? Don't only think about the end product of what you working on, think about how your getting there! There's no better feeling than knowing that you got there, on your own, by yourself. You can only rely on yourself to get to where you are now. Yes, I know there are other people who were there to help you out too, don't forget about them, but it's you who wants this badly enough to work on it . No one is going to do all the work for you. Do it for yourself, knowing that its you who is working for it and once you're there, the place where you want to be, the feeling is tremendous, because you did it, no one else. 

That's what the Secret is all about. Yes, think positively, but the thing is, you can't only rely on the thinking part to get to where you want to go. You have to work on it! So get going. Don't let me hold you up!  :P But reflect on how you got there too. Be proud of how you got that end product and how hard you worked on it. But don't think too hard! Just relax and work on it, you'll get there, Im sure of it! :)

Be simplistic like children are, value the product, but value what skills they gained from working so hard on it! That's what I love about working with children! You make their day by valuing them as an individual, for being unique, and how they are gaining these crucial skills for making their life. I learn something knew every day, when I work with these children; its never a dull moment! 

When life throws a brick at you

This is one of the greatest short stories I've ever read.. Hope you feel the same..

The Brick!

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passes, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door!

He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The  angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up a parked car shouting, 'What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?' The young boy was apologetic. 'Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do,' He pleaded. 'I threw the brick because no one else would stop...' With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. 'It's my brother.' he said, 'he rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.' Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me.'

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. 'Thank you and may God bless you,' the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. 

It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: 'Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!' God whispers in our souls and speaks to our heart. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not.

Small changes, for now

Here's how my sunday went:

Woke up, had breakfast (oatmeal-Yum!), had a shower, and went out to RMC (my old high school) to meet up with  my relatives to walk the dogs. We are an animal family haha, a total of 4 dogs came out for a run. It was bitterly cold with the wind (-14f) and, only having my sweater and wind breaker on, I got cold really fast! So I started moving around, trying to warm up, and saw my uncle go on the track and started walking around it, making the dogs go crazy since they were on the other side of the fence. I thought to myself, well Im not going to get warm by just standing here. So I started to walk along side of the fence with the dogs, walking faster, and until I noticed a was jogging a bit. Feeling a little warmer, I kept this light jog until I finished the round and decided to go into the track where it wasn't so icy. My aunts and uncles walked along side of the fence while I was walking and jogging on the track. It felt really nice just being outside and clearing my head. Then and there I decided to make time to just go out for a walk, or a jog, to just clear my head. If you make time to do something, you will do it, so that's what Im going to do. If you make something worth your time then you will do it. I always hear people say they don't have time to do the things they want to do but that's not at all true.  Try it. Do something you want to do, squeeze it in to your busy schedule, and you will notice how it wasn't hard to squeeze it in, since you made it worth your time. Just going out for a walk will give me time to clear my head, and the exercise doesn't hurt either ;) . Small changes...that's all Im doing.
