Love's Rule & A Bit of Thanksgiving...

This is me... Guess who taught me this pose?

One is squared, straight and tight
The other round curved and smooth
Some may think the fits not right
But they don't understand love's rule
When love comes calling
It pays no attention to shapes
or to how one looks
There is only one condition
One rule in the book.
Pureness of the ready willing heart
For nothing else matters
The fit is perfect
True love is blessed with a good start....

Twas' a Blessings to be true
The day mine eyes came to rest upon you

Brave to speak your mind
And when I looked back
YOU were looking too.

Because ... to me the written word
means more...
& because I like to say..
(hear & read) them often..

I am Thankful......for my many blessings...

You are always so willing to go...go...go!  I will know when you have found the love of your life...
the day you find someone that can #1 keep up with you and challenge you... and #2 can light you up the way football does! At least that is how it seems so far!

Now this is my mom!  Who obviously taught me how to pose for pictures!!  HA! HA! HA! My Mom is nothing less than fabulous!  Always doing what she can for others and she is truly lovely!  I love you Mom!

I am forever thankful that I had you in my life.  I quote you on a daily basis!
Even now you are my Rock!
"Its a 'leaverite.'  ~You 'leave -r-rite' there!"  Thank you for encouraging me to sing and for not letting me bring home all those rocks! (Visions of Lucille Ball & the long long trailer!) 

For My Tim...(my husband...) my friend...
I am thankful for our friendship.  It has brought us this far & gave us our most precious kids.  I am forever thankful for that first kiss in the rain that YEARS later led to T.J.,Emily,& yes Pete too coming into our lives.  It hasn't been perfect, the good the bad & the ugly... no just kidding! (Sounds of your favorite Clint Eastwood Movie roll through my head!)
