A New Horizon

Hey crazy cats,

Things have been kind of crazy lately, actually for quite some time. I guess I'm very happy about most of the things that are happening in my life. However, there are a few things that are happening that I wish I didn't have to go through. Hey, that's life for you. I'm definitely not going to complain about it. I'm enjoying this little thing called life.

I also want to mention a certain person who came into my life recently. Her presence has been felt and I thank God everyday for the blessing. She reminds me everyday to cherish what I've been given. Her friendship is felt deep in my soul and I am learning the word happiness once more. this brings me to what I want to discuss.

Many of us believe we are happy. If anyone asks us if we're happy, we tend to say yes. However, when a special person comes into our lives, we realize that we haven't really experienced full happiness. Did we lie when we said we were happy? Certainly not. We just didn't experience the next level of happiness. Life is so beautiful when we open the doors windows to our hearts and let the warm breeze of friendship and love in.

Many of us have been dealt a crushing blow by those forces that do not believe in love. Some of us have become apathetic. Some have become jaded. Still others have closed off their hearts and have not let the anyone else in. We become scared and try to minimize the potential risk of opening up.

I, for one, am adventurous. Do I leave myself vulnerable? Yes. Do I get hurt at times? Yes. It's well worth the risk. I try to have as little "what if?" as possible in my life. I consider myself a very strong and independent person. I don't "need"to be loved, but I am capable of loving with all my heart. that's what we all must do.

Let's leave the pain to one side. Let's leave the past pains in the past. Who knows, the next time you see or meet someone may be the beginning of a beautiful new journey. keep safe and dream big!
