Old Friends... And ReConnecting


The feeling you get when you reconnect with and old friend you've lost touch with-someone who meant so much to you; when you realize that they've been missing you too.

The feeling is nothing short of sweet and wonderful. And Gosh, I wish I had that happen more often. So make sure you keep your eyes open for such a fun thing to happen. It brings light to my eyes and song to my voice. How about you? What do you feel when someone shares that they were thinking about you too?

I have recently had a personal experience in which through Facebook, I found out that several people had been looking for me, and I did not know that. So, if you do have Facebook; make sure you check it often, so that you have left no stone unturned should somebody be looking for you. It is very exciting to learn that you have a friend from University or from High School or from any time in your past where someone may be attempting to reconnect with you as in fact; they are out there, we just need to know that they are there.

This has happened to me several times this year from Facebbook and let me tell you, it is really fun to find out that someone out there still has a place in thier heart for you. Especially when you have room for them in yours.

Just keep your eyes open! :)

Imagine


John Lennon had a special meaning to his music and to his beliefs in life. Yes, he died way too soon for all of us who carefully listened to his lyrics. I personally find that John's lyrics speak so loud and clearly to me. In the fact that I just believe so much of what he was trying to say.

I might add that living for today is a policy that I try to live by as much as possible. As it is a wonderful way to relax and enjoy life for what it is; a beautiful place to be. We only need to appreciate our wonderful planet and our gift of life.

Imagine to have it and you can get there too.
I believe... if you so desire.




Imagine
-John Lennon

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Bridge Over Troubled Water




Something that Jesus was always talking about was that he would be there for us. Like a bridge he has laid himself down.

That is what he said; he died for us-for our sins. What that means to me is the ultimate sign of true love, that superscedes all other loves that we can ever know in this lifetime.

Additionally, as I am going through my own "troubled waters" it has a distinct meaning to me in my life right now. As maybe it means something distinctly to you, my readers.

I too, need all the friendships that I can muster up to help me deal with my personal need for someone, if not God; to help me lighten the load that I am having to bear at this time. Perhaps you, can relate to me as well.

In Jesus Christ's Holy name; Amen.




Bridge Over Troubled Water
- Simon and Garfunkel

When you're weary Feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all I'm on your side When times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part When darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on Silver Girl, Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine If you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind

Let It Be


There are times in my life that I feel a bit lonely or a tad bit introspective. I think of those times as being very important to have, so that I can expound upon them and thereby get to know what it is that I am feeling.

Whether it be sad or happy or somewhere in between; all these feelings are real and are important to possibly identify where I am at. Sometimes I don't really know the answer to that question and I have found that, that is okay. Just, Let It Be.... Be at Peace.

Let It Be
-The Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....
