my girls, my friends, my family, and a particular someone - without them where would i be... alone ;-) i am fortunate to have those around me who love and care for me.
I'd like to meet:
people with integrity, honesty, compassion, and love. those who say what they mean and do what they say.
id love to reconnect with old friends and see familiar faces on here. it brings me back to good times.:-)
we do not love those for the good they have done us as for the good we have done them - tolstoy
when i fall i fall hard but the hardest part is getting me to fall...
things happen for a reason. its strange how life can turn out. things happen when u least expect it. the many opportunities that our lives cross pathes were a sign that fate was trying to tell us something. you cant change destiny but you can determine how you get there...
things happen for a reason ;-)... only time... BABY STEPS
Music:
music recommendations have been moved to blogs
i know im a big dork. i love cheesey lovey dovey songs and as my friend used to say "suicidal" music. i dont think they are. i think they are songs that just provoke strong emotions. my form of emo music. it could be happy or sad. i listen to the lyrics and sometimes happy love songs sound depressing and then sometimes sad songs have an up-beat tempo. i know im strange. a lot of these oldies are karaoke favs.

my parents - for coming up from nothing and making a good life here for my sister and me
my sister - for sticking by me through it all & showing me that we can turn out alright & letting me test out my parenting skills
my grandparents - for teaching me that love like in the movie the notebook does exist
