HG, I agree....we are both lucky.
He is a very good man, the sweetest boy. Hmmmm, a wise woman who said a wise thing... lemme think....was it...Benzinha?
Yes, that statement holds so very true always. I remind myself of it when I get impatient. Things come to us in the time they are meant to. Ain't
that a bitch sometimes though? ;)

You've been through so much, and continue to persevere despite having so much thrown at you. You deserve this happiness with Jimmy and you're
both so lucky. A very wise woman once said to me, "The universe takes its time and waits until we are ready to give us the things we want so we don't muck them up." ---Can you guess who that was?!?!

Thank you for being who you are, too. Triumph, you know that's my word.

Cass, you know, as I've told you, that you inspire me.
As does Rachel, which I should have mentioned to her. You both seem so organized and together, which I'm so envious of. I'm not always so positive, really. I have to remind myself to look for the good, to regroup. It's a conscious thing, and I forget to do it sometimes too. Jimmy can testify on that one. When life gets out of hand and I start getting overwhelmed, I remind myself of what my blessings are...that's usually why I'm overwhelmed to begin with. I really am so lucky and getting caught up in what isn't happening, what can't happen, what didn't go well, makes me create things I don't want instead of things I do. It puts my focus in the wrong place. It's about energy and thought. Life will always bring suffering. We don't have to let it break us. There is happiness there, also. Always. Sometimes, really, I'm just a bitch...a child...impossible to deal with. The difference is now that I can admit it, recognize it, and (even if it takes a while) redirect to a more positive place. Find Temple again. Jimmy may be lucky, but he takes such good care of me, I'm the lucky one so much of the time. He makes sure I eat, which I know makes you happy. :) Love you, S.

I think you are an amazing woman also, and I see a lot of wisdom in your writing so it means a lot to me for you to say that. Thank you very much.

Soul Sister.
Your comment made me cry. I've been feeling like such a big pain in the ass lately. It made me feel good to hear from you...and everyone here...such sweet things. I always wonder if the reason I go through the things I do is because I have the ability to express them in a way that might serve as an inspiration...so to hear you say that gives me strength and motivation. Renews me.
I think the only way to survive bad...which does end, but comes round again...is by focusing on the little joys we have. It is why I am alive sometimes I think. I laugh easily and often, even in the midst of darkness because the darkness always IS no matter what we do. I am thankful also that stupid girl things haven't scared Jimmy off. Fortunately he doesn't scare easily either.
I'm glad we share pieces of each other.

kid cargo, thanks for the giggles...
I heard you saying okay....I will walk in city beautiful for you anytime. You can always come visit, you know. I'm really glad to have him here, too...I wish he wasn't up north, but at least he's on this continent. :) Hey, don't be all down on those updates though...some really bad stuff can happen as a result of not downloading those because of the holes in Microsoft XP.

I'm with Rachel - you are forever an inspiration to me! You have such an amazingly positive attitude, even when the world crashes around you. Jimmy is the lucky one... Take care my friend and keep in touch.

You write so beautifully. You have more than your fair share of all the drama life has to offer and you will prevail. You're an amazing woman, Temple.

Awesome...
Even in the midst of confusion, anger, pain, and utter frustration you serve as an inspiration to me. Through all the negative you have encountered you are still able to be thankful for the big and small things. Especially the small things, like someone's touch and the kisses of a kitty.
You also remind me that all bad things will come to an end (eventually!) and that through it all there are some constants that serve as life preservers--for you Jimmy. I'm so glad that you have him. You're strong, but even the strong need a support from time to time. I'm thankful you've had him when you've needed him the most. And, I'm glad the silly girl things we all do haven't scared him off. A treasure, for sure.
You scare me, you know? When I read this post I was listening to none other than Maroon5's Sunday Morning. Scary.
Soul sisters. Another confirmation.
Thanks for being you, and sharing a small slice of it. You're inspiring, as always.
Be well, beautiful.

Temple - I'm glad you have someone there. Yes, I never click the window
for my Windows updates because of all the horror stories I've heard. Take a walk in your beautiful city for me, okay (and I said okay just like that guy in South Park)?
