The Moon

Usually I leave for work when it is still dark outside. AND, These days, I sometimes return home when it is dark outside. So, it is fairly easy to look up at the moon and pay attention. I do watch to see when the full moon is, because it affects us all, but it really is evident in children. The moon does more than determine the tides. Plus it is quite amazing on a dark night.

So, Yes d.k. I may be doing something right... I am enjoying what I have... and I pay closer attention to details, something I have always done, and now that I am working with 5 year olds, I do it even more, because they do it too.

Find your inner child, do what you love and have great friends... it isn't so bad, but it doesn't fill the other void I have... but it does make it not feel so empty.

I have been working at school tonight and then drinking and talking to RJ. It is pumpkin time now, so good night all, I hope to sleep in, and enjoy my clean sheets in my very own bed.

Remember, you have girlfriends and thank the gods for them!

After years of living in this world, here is what I know about girlfriends:

Girlfriends bring you casseroles and scrub your
bathroom when you need help.

Girlfriends keep your children and keep your secrets.

Girlfriends give advice when you ask for it.
Sometimes you take it; sometimes you don't.

Girlfriends don't always tell you that you're
right, but they're usually honest.

Girlfriends still love you, even when they
don't agree with your choices.

Girlfriends laugh with you, and you don't need
canned jokes to start the laughter.

Girlfriends pull you out of jams.

Girlfriends help you get out of bad relationships.

Girlfriends help you look for a new apartment,
help you pack, and help you move.

Girlfriends will give a party for your son or daughter when they get married or have a baby, in whichever order that comes.

Girlfriends are there for you, in an instant and when the hard times come.

Girlfriends will drive through blizzards,rainstorms, hail, heat, and gloom of night to get to you when your hour of need is desperate.

Girlfriends listen when you lose a job or a friend.

Girlfriends listen when your children break your heart.

Girlfriends listen when your parents' minds and bodies fail.

Girlfriends cry with you when someone you loved dies.

Girlfriends support you when the men in your life let you down.

Girlfriends help you pick up the pieces when men pack up and go.

Girlfriends rejoice at what makes you happy, and are ready to go out and kill what makes you unhappy.

Time passes.

Life happens.

Distance separates.

Children grow up.

Marriages fail.

Love waxes and wanes.

Hearts break.

Careers end.

Jobs come and go.

Parents die.

Colleagues forget favors.

Men don't call when they say they will.

But girlfriends are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you.

A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her can reach. When you have to walk that lonesome valley, and you have to walk it for yourself, your girlfriends will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.

Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you. Or come in and carry you out.

The world wouldn't be the same without them, and neither would I.

When we began this adventure called womanhood,
we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead, nor did we know how much we would need each other.

Every day, we need each other still.

My girlfriends bless my life.

OMG, I loved reading these posts... and was thinking right before I got to this comment "I wonder what WW would say..." and I was right... He makes us laugh, he lifts our spirits, he must be a figment of my imagination... oh no, the one in my imagination is available and not pining for me, but chasing me... lol
