I found this poem and I think it’s beautiful. It pretty much sums up a lot of my feelings. I want to dedicate it to Willie. I love you and I hope you like it.

The Feeling Inside

© By Ashley L. Charles

The first time we talked there was something about you

As we talked on the phone you had my full attention

I lingered on your voice hoping you would say those five words

And when you did I was so overwhelmed I missed it

The next day when I got to hang out with you was more than I ever expected

When I looked into your eyes I knew there was nowhere else I wanted to be

Lying in your arms I realized that I might never get the chance to feel this way again

So I decided that if being with you was a risk then I was willing to take it

After I left that night so many thoughts ran through my head

I wondered if you were feeling exactly the same way I was

I wanted to know what it was that was going on inside your head

I was hoping that what I was feeling was more than just butterflies in my stomach

I spent the whole night wondering what would happen next

I realized that nothing was like I ever expected it to be

Even though I had put up a wall to keep all those others on the outside

You found the one little crack and seemed to work your way inside

Once I figured out what was truly going on inside my heart

There were so many things that I wanted to say to you

I wanted to let you know how much you truly meant to me

I wanted to tell you that I wasn’t sure if I could make it without you

But at first I just couldn’t find the words to say exactly how I feel

I was afraid to let you know that you had found a way inside

I was worried that if I let you know how I felt you wouldn’t feel the same way

But I took a risk and let you know how much you truly meant to me

Now that you know how I feel I’m so scared that you’ll just fade away

But no matter what happens I want you to know something

I need you to know that I would never trade you for anything in the world

I would take a thousand painful moments just to spend the rest of my life with you

The Race

© By Tammie L. Whitlow

How do you compete in a race someone else has put you in?

If you don’t know the rules, how will you ever win?

Your opponents are often ruthless when the finish line’s in sight.

But just because they’re winning, it doesn’t mean they’re right!

If you win by lies and cheating, should the trophy go to you?

And what about the pain you’ve put others through?

If someone trips on your deception, do you help them to their feet?

Or do you pull out taking the lead, fueled by your deceit?

Will all your bended truths put sharp turns in others way?

And when you give your victory speech, just what will you say?

I don’t know if I can read the false expressions on your face.

But I don’t think it’s winning that counts, it’s how you ran the race

Decided to show off with all my kitties. Everyone knows Brat so here are the rest.

This is Shadow

This is Josephine (or Josy for short)

This is Basil

 And this is Shadow and Brat sleeping on top of my pc. Heaven only knows where they find the space.

I often check the statistics on this site to see how people got here. The searches are very interesting. Here are the searches done yesterday that led people to my site:

Michelle Gray Photo : Why would someone be looking for my photo?? Although judging from the search results it is very clear that there are a lot of Michelle Gray’s around. That is even more interesting.

Road to Terabithia : I know the movie is Bridge to but that was the search

www.honeyb.co.za : ??

Honey Bunny xxx : oooohhhkay. Now that is an interesting one.

These searches were done via google. Don’t you think it’s interesting.??

I went to the pet shop yesterday and came across these cute little puppies. They are Chow’s. Willie so badly wants one but this pet shop is ridiculously expensive. So if anyone knows where we can get them for a good price PLEASE let me know. They are sooooo cute!!!

If life hadn’t changed dramatically for us last year then I would’ve been on my honeymoon today. Yesterday was the first date we set to get married and also the date we had booked everything for.

So all things considered I should now officially be Mrs. R. I kinda celebrated in private yesterday as even though it didn’t happen I still felt sort of happy and a little sad yesterday. All good things come to those who wait. I still have Willie and I love him more every day so that makes me a very lucky girl. Regardless what my surname is.

Yesterday was also my aunt’s birthday. Happy Happy auntie Colleen. Hope you had a great day!!
