It's official

Ok so it's official! My daughter is 18! I can't believe she has been part of my life now for that long! At the same time, I can't imagine my life without her being part of it!
Megan is a great person, she is funny, smart, beautiful and the list goes on!
I hope that she will be able to find her niche in life and become everything that the Lord has designed for her! There isn't anything she couldn't do.
Thank you Megan for being such a huge part of my life and for changing the way I look at the world. You make me want to be a better person and you really are one of my hero's! I love you sweet girl! Thanks for "doin' what you can" :) You are the best!
Oh, and just fro the record, I am not sure how she ever got to be that old, because I am certainly not old enough to have an 18 year old ;)

Thoughts.....My thoughts........

My thoughts are as a leaf tossed on the currents of the turbulent winds.
Lifted and tossed with no thought for where the final fall will be.
One moment being lifted high as if to go on and on
The next being shunted down with brutal force, only to be snatched
From a devastating end at the last conceivable moment.
Some currents just carry forward, drifting softly this way or that
In even motion swaying ever so reassuring and comforting.
Breezes swiftly moving and bringing the realization that this
Is a familiar place, that has been visited before.


My thoughts are as the wind, changing at any given moment.
One moment soft as a caressing touch, evoking sensual feelings.
The next raging like the wildest of storms leaving chaos and devastation
In the path of the exhausted storm. Some wreckage never to rebuild.


My thoughts are as the smooth surface of water, being affected by
The smallest most subtle events. Anything from the throwing of
A stone to the falling of a leaf lightly disturbing the surface.
Disguising most frequently the life that exists in the depths below
Keeping safe that which finds refuge there in.

My thoughts are as the sun shine with its rays bringing light
Comfort and warmth. At times dissuaded by clouds of storms
Either on the horizon or dispersing after the long dark night


My thoughts are as eyes with a depth that is not always visible
The way you look and what you are looking for determines
What you see or what may be seen.
They can be shadowed by pain or glowing with pleasure
Having a story to tell all their own for one seeking to find
At times trying to hide other times pleading to be found
Always in any situation longing for acceptance
