God’s Creation

Drifting back a single place stands out in the writer’s memory. Using the five senses, sight, taste, smell, sound, and touch Niagara falls, Ontario, Canada can be described. Also the sight of the rolling water and the sound of the surrounding activities a person may experience are going to be explored. The taste of the salty mist and the sense of being a small dot on the map are given in detail. Niagara Falls is an amazing sight that indulges all the senses, because it is something only the hand of god could create.

The rolling water comes down the river like a freight train ending with the wonderful sight a woman stands gazing at in wonder. Standing there not knowing how this amazing wonder even began.  Did it begin as a small stream or has it always been this massive hole of wonder. The twinkle of light that fall upon the strip at night look as though the night sky as fell to the ground. On occasion some will see the rainbow of lights that fall upon the Horseshoe Falls.

Distracting a sight seer the sounds of the strip filter out over the sound of the falls. The small carnival gives off the familiar sound of children’s laughter.   The grinding sound of the fairest wheel grinding to a haul as lover exit hand in hand, tenderness in their hesitant giggles fills the night air.   The overwhelming sound of the tourists muddling about, showing that the Falls are something that is share between families, friends and strangers.

The salty smell enters the nose as the new explorer crosses the rainbow bridge into paradise. While walking along the strip the days of old fasion caramel popcorn and taffy drift to one’s nose.  While a tour on the double decker bus brings smells of sunscreen and the woman that left the hotel with a little too much perfume are burned into the memory. Flowers paint the causeways like a Picasso painting, filling the air with sweet smells of a backyard gardens.

While your senses are now almost filling to the brim, stepping back in aw, the viewer realizes what a small speck in a vast world. Taking the time to slow down is sometimes hard to find. The peace founded next to the Falls is like the first night a new born sleeps through the night. It takes a life time to find absolute peace and a moment to lose it.  So a true seeker cherishes every moment in God’s wonder.

Him

                Is he a friend, a lover, a savior? This man fall into all of these categories.  In great detail I will describe how this wonder human being pulled me from the depths of despair to comfort me. Also I will explain the new formed connection we have that makes us one. I was lost and he saved me, because of this I am the person I am this moment in time.

                Smack, rock bottom this girl hit it hard like a ton of bricks. Then out of nowhere a friend of many years reached out a life line. He put himself in the middle of violence and pain to give a lost soul salvation. He pulled me in giving me strength to stand on my own.   To stand up for the things in life that is right. He has always been there in front of me, but I was blinded by temptation.

                Love, passion, and partnership are all a part of my life thanks to this saving grace.  I am free as a bird to live and become what God intended for me.  A smile something so unfamiliar is now a part of my daily wardrobe. He tells me am beautiful and smart. He says I can do anything in this world. At the end of the day I can’t wait to fall asleep wrapped in his arms. All those years behind the eyes of a friend were the love of my life.

                I was lead off the path of happiness to be hurt and defeated, think that no one could love me. If I would have just stopped for one moment and looked into the eyes of a friend I would have found what I was missing. He was there when others were not and he comforted me when I was beaten and bruised. Now I cherish every moment I spend gazing into his eyes and being wrapped in his arms, because I know someone finally looking back.

i learn something new everyday!

we have all been there, we still hate someone for things they have done 10 even 20 years before. we today i have crawled out of that hole of toxic behavior. there is this girl i have hated since high school and thought i know exactly why i hated her, but to my surprise i was wrong. i have been friends with her husband since grade school so she never seem to go away.
    long story short. i picked up the phone today and called their house. she answered. i told her i thought it was about time we talked. we are grown women this should be easy right. i"ll admit i was having trouble breathing. but i told her that i' m doing this reinvent myself thing and i felt that holding a grudge against her all this time has held me back from growing as a person. i know it sounds corny but, it made since when someone else explained it to me. i have made a big deal about mistake you make in you past shouldn't define who you are at the present time. so i shouldn't hold it against people for thing they did when they where young and dumb. we talk for awhile and she even told me that she wish things had come to her as easy as they came to me back then. i even think i got the husband in trouble. we figured out that we think he enjoyed us fighting so he never tried to fix it.
   anyway i think today i grow up just alittle bit more. my new rule, let the past make you who you are, just don't let it keep you from being who you are.

so still wondering about happily ever after, but a new subject. What is socially correct in a relationship? we all learn early in life that a relationship is between one man and one woman. we are suppose to stay virgin till we meet the one we spend the rest of our life's with. yeah, like that will happen. i could never imagine only being with one person in my life time. why do we only have to be with one person for it to be "socially acceptable? i want to get married and spend the rest of my life i love with one person. share my life with that person. what if we want to have sexually relations outside our relationships? someone once told me that sex is only a physical thing, is it? is it OK to invite other people into your bedroom?

i want everyone to understand that i have my own views on these things, but lately me and my friends have been talking alot about why we let society dictate what we see as a normal relationship. i would like so feed back please.

what is happily ever after

as a little girl growing up, we are programed to believe the a knight in shining armor will one day come and sweep us off our feet. we will ride into the sunset and live happily ever after. any self respecting women wants that to happen, but knows it's unlikely. so my question is, what is happily ever after?
