Positive Thoughts to Finish Our Day:

I’ve been on a bit of a tear today. I think some positive thoughts are now called for to make the rest of the day a little better. I have plenty of things to be thankful for, people and things that outweigh the bad by a long shot.

I have six wonderful children who are always here to give me a hug and kiss and to say, “I love you, Mommy.” We have a lot of fun times together and have so far created our own Kool-Aid and Expresso dances. Unconditional love is impossible to hover over with black clouds. No, you can’t rain on this parade!

I have the most amazing boyfriend in the world! There is just no comparison. I’m still speechless after eight and a half months. Everyday brings us closer and everyday I learn something more to love about him.

I have a beautiful garden that I go to for tranquility. This is my space. I can go in here and hide anytime I want.

There are many other seemingly very small things to other people that are a pretty big deal to me, simple things that bring me so much happiness. Here is one of my poems to express a little piece of this side of me. It really isn’t spectacular, nothing really great; but it makes me feel happy.

When Little Windy comes out to play,

It always winds up to be an awesome day;

Rainbows and clear skies of blue,

The beauty of a rose kissed by the morning’s dew.

I romp around and play all day,

Even chores seem like child’s play;

Try it just once and you will see,

Just how happy you can be.

You’ll play and race,

Nothing must be done in haste;

The ice cream smiles and rosey cheeks,

Will surely make your life complete.

Give it a chance,

Take my hand and let’s do the dance;

Ring-around-the-rosey, chasing lightning bugs and climbing trees,

Kickball and that game of tag where you freeze.

We’d love to play with you for a million years,

And never ever witness your tears;

Only giggles and smiles will come to be,

If only you would come out and play with me!
