Look
back
to
yesterday
In
touch
with
my
past
Memories
console
me
Thoughts
that
will
last
Holding
on
closely
With
life's
reveries
Together
forever
That's
how
it
will
be
For
you
are
beside
me
Wherever
I
go
Love's
sweet
emotions
Within
me
now
flow
Walking
together
With
you
by
my
side
Each
moment
of
life
now
With
dreams
that
reside
You
walked
in
my
life
then
So
now
you
shall
stay
One
moment
of
beauty
That
won't
fade
away
Seasons
may
come
now
With
love
as
it's
guest
I
think
of
these
moments
With
love
once
professed.
I am thankful for being given the opportunity to rise each morning to see the sun, and to be able to watch the sun set each evening before going to bed at night. I am thankful for being given the chance to feel my minor aches and pains when I selfishly complain about them when I was given a second chance (or is that a third.. or fourth?) at life after my head-on car accident September 17th, 2001. I am thankful for being able to say that I am different because my parents have remained married after 30 years of marriage this December, because there are so many children that come from divorced families these days. I am thankful that I have parents that are selfless in helping me out financially when I have had no one else to turn to when i was told I had no home and kicked out, being welcomed back home as if I had never left the nest to begin with. I am thankful for the sacrifice my parents made to pay for my college education so that I wouldn't have to worry about a mountain of debt when i completed my college education and start off my professional career. I am thankful (Yes, this may be a shocker.. but.. ) for the challenges that I have faced in the last 10 years because of the former husband because it has shown me that I have a faith that can move mountains, one that can't be shaken from me. I am thankful to the Spirit above to provide me with challenges each day, because it helps me be humble that I am no better (as in I am not above another person) than any other person on the street that I pass either rich or poor. I am thankful that the strength i have developed over the last two years was put to good use December 14, 2001, when I started my new life and ended a marriage that was destined from the beginning to be one of heartache and pain. I am thankful for the struggles and sacrifice I have had to learn the hard way over the last few years, because I now don't ever take things for granted since they may not be there tomorrow, or even there in the next five minutes. I am thankful for the great Spirit above for bringing my Beloved into my life, because He completes me like no other, He is my true Soul Mate, my Heart Mate, my One. I am thankful for so many things that are deep within my heart that cause me to tear up as I try to write this. I don't have much money. I actually have a mountain of debt at the moment, but I am grateful for that and the lessons i have learned over the last 10 years. It has made me so much of a better person. It has made me the woman I am today. Yes, I have changed, especially over this last year. But, I am thankful for those changes because I wouldn't have it any other way.
