the fall
to be positive...
i did give my heart.... in full
trust is an awkward thing...
when its gone... poof
hard to recover from that...
about things given...
never promised for return of such
so you really have no way to depend
what is given...
may just be thrown about in words
or
will be returned ...
or
gifted in other ways to other people...
hard to say...
one can only hope ...
that love will be
returned in the way it is gifted...
DIVE IN
head first or feet...
what works is
THE FALL...
or nothing at all
this life we have is nothing...
without this wonderful thing called:
"LOVE..."

All Is A lot ..... Is Everything
All is A lot.....& is everything,
All is a lot .... & is everything,
It is nothing to a heart in love.
For a heart In love,
will stop at nothing
to give you everything ...freely.
No price to be paid....
At no cost to the one you love....
There should be no burden on them to bare....
A willing heart open to care...
For they dare to freely return such love
The true cost ...
The price one will pay for love...
nothing......
& everything....

Love's Rule & A Bit of Thanksgiving...
![]() |
This is me... Guess who taught me this pose? |
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

And when I looked back
YOU were looking too.

Of All Things..
![]() | |
They shared their first date on(Dec 7,1941) the day Pearl Harbor was bombed. They married 6mos later (Jun 8,1942. They built a business & bought a home.Raised a family. (The American Dream) They lost their son, when he drown at 17yrs old. Through it all, for 65yrs, they showed everyone in their life what it meant to love someone. I am blessed that "they" were my rock..... |
Many things have fallen apart in my life. Things did not go as I thought they would. Do they ever go as we think they will? We need to be better equipped to adapt and move forward. I have learned this over and over again. Over the last six years, I have found many changes to adapt to. The loss of my grandparents really was the hardest I have ever faced. Any of my friends can agree, that I have been a bit blue. Bubbly... not so much. Taking the world on with a smile as best as I can as my grandparents would want me to. They are truly missed and not a day goes by that I do not think of them.
Today it has been a year..
(10-17-2010)

I was blessed to have known you and been in your life.
You gave so much to us all.
It is true that your cooking was wonderful and no one made us feel more at home than you. I loved playing card games with you and just simply being in your company. You & Papa always made me feel loved. I cherish all that you taught me. Of all things... I miss holding your hand the most.
Give Papa (&Uncle Danny) hugs and kisses in heaven.
all my love,
Jeri Diane

King of Hearts....Ya, right....
King of Hearts...Ya, right... (*for you my friend...)
We have all been here. It seems a right of passage for any of us who tend to give our hearts out of love. Not expecting, but in hope of being cared for in return. If in friendship or in falling in love with the one of our dreams... there is pain when the person who you thought was really isn't.....
It is unfortunate that the fall will not always come to both.
One can only hope that the timing will be right.
I say just be your true self. If you are loved for who you truly are, then when it is returned and you both fall, you will know it is right.
Two songs have been on my mind :
The first one......
Natalie Imbruglia ~ Torn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV1XWJN3nJo
And this one.....
Sara Bareilles ~ King of Anything
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR7-AUmiNcA
I always say never assume anything...
and never take things personally always do your best!!! Speak well of yourself and of others! Set the bar high and rise above it! [*please note....I am not perfect....I fail at this....but I do try! ;)]
It is not always about you...~ you know...it is the old saying..."It's not you, it's me!" Well I come by those thoughts by the book written by Don Miguel Ruiz: The Four Agreements.
They are as follows:
1. Be impeccable with your word.
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
2. Don't take anything personally.
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be a victim of needles suffering.
3. Don't make assumptions.
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement you can completely transform your life.
4. Always do your best.
Yours best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different from when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
Have a great week!

Priscilla Ahn's "A Dream" Music Video
Thinking of four generations of women in my family... how lucky I was to have had that time in my life.... Miss you Nana... I can't believe it has almost been a year.
This song makes me think of my Nana and how she had a good life and helped me have one too....
It also makes me think of my mountains and other playtime areas growing up...........
time in the creek...
the meadow..
the pond
building forts and catching bugs, salamanders & frogs....
An old car parked outside suddenly became our adventure cruiser. We were going places!!
The fun continues and the dreaming never stops! Passing along the playtime in the woods to my kids....

All About Love ....
A Day for Love
Locked in my heart are Naive memories
A young girl"s heart looking back.....
Journal Entries of my heart & mind
All for Love & true love's kiss
sometimes thoughts of the one that was missed.... ;)
~
Two young girls.... one almost 16
Drive past a walking cowboy & bravely scream
He the cutest they had known & ever had seen.
To their cries he replied for them to stop & asked what they had said....
The youngest one quietly looked up & could only say: "woo."
Then sweetly he leaned in and gave her the first REAL kiss she ever knew....
The other girl turned in shock..... as she watched her friend float away...
She had only four words to say..... "I want one too."
~
Memories of long talks with boys
Nothing more exchanged, but to lend their jacket to a girl who was always cold....
Funny how that never changes....& Mom's did raise their boys right...
Not sure who was more scared, but those friendships will last forever.....
~
Journal entries
Memories of another time & a smile on his face
I often wonder did if he knew... my heart cheered for him.
Did he realize that I thought back then... as I do today
A connection that in my heart would stay... some 20 plus years...
Feelings that there was nothing... together we couldn't do?
It wasn't our first kiss, but it was the one that took my breath away
We were just hanging out at the yard full of stuff...
Sitting there on the tailgate of that old truck
You smiled at me as I rambled nervously..
You weren't afraid to press your luck ...
You grabbed my face in your firm strong hands
You simply kissed my words away
Making my butterflies stir a bit more...
Oh how I enjoy
Memories of that time with you at the yard
The boy who I adored,
Grew to be a man I will always love without condition...
That time is precious....looking back....
Walk away from me now
& if you must tear me a bit or more with your words...
I get it.... it's okay.... YOU should know by now,
I love hard & in full...
My heart isn't capable to love in any other way

Watchful Fearful Heart....
Watchful Fearful Heart upon my sleeve
Awaiting Love's peaceful embrace to take leave
Always fearful our time will end
"Can't we always just be friends?"
When lines get crossed
Does passion betray pact?
Just when do you realize...
...there is no turning back?
Many a bend in Love's river
The rapids tend wide
They move a bit faster
Than the small of the brook
Hearts knee deep now in rough water
Floating uneasy and watching
The rhythm of each cast
Random skips a top the water
Ungrudging jolts landing nothing...
Just coming up blank
Yet, true love can't be found and kept
in the safety of a tank
Fearful hearts always bit slow to set the hook
Later finding them already within
Set deep
Unsure hearts only venture
Such a river or brook
Keep real
The bounty of Love's wild river
For all hearts willing, or not
to reel.

To catch Keep real

Open Up..Empty Your Cup! ~ Why you should “empty your cup”
I was talking to someone today about first impressions. It is hard sometimes to get the right take on a person the first time you encounter them. For all you know, it could be in the middle of the worst period of their life. What if the reason you are being thrown together with this person is for their need of a skill that you possess? Your ability to pick yourself up by your bootstraps, dust yourself off and carry on, may be a talent they never learned. Could it be divine intervention for you to teach this skill to them, while in turn you will be left with a few gifts from them? It seems there is much more learning exchanged in life than what goes on at schools. We seem to learn from our peers throughout our lives.
I am a very open person. I strive for it. I do have my times of wanting to hide away and lock everyone out. There are definite times when I want to go a whole day without talking to a single sole. Sometimes a whole weekend will go by and I won't have talked to any of my friends. I have thought myself to be a perfect candidate for one of those island escape jobs. Perfect for that, but far from perfect. A retreat to an island or the woods to stay there locked away from the world for three months would be fantastic at first thought. I think I would be fine for the first month. Okay, maybe just first week to weekend, and then after that I would need my facebook & google buzz. Then I would need more! I admit that as much as I enjoy my quiet time, I really am a people person. I enjoy the company of others. Even if it is just small talk and getting to know what makes them tick. I enjoy finding out about them and how they live. To me I think we all are different wonderfully unique incredible people who can offer the world and each other so much. To stay closed off with a full cups means we do not want more. It also really means we have no more to give. I would rather say that I am broken than to not be a giving person.
In some ways I believe you have to completely lose everything and become broken before you really know what you want and what you have to offer. Or until you know how much room you have to fill and how much you can give. I have gone through this transformation a time or two. It isn't very fun. At the same time however, I have learned much about the amazing blessings of friendships I have gained in this life. I have also learned how strong I am as a person and just how capable I am.
There is always a bubbly side... a Sunny side of the street! Enjoy the attached blog! Enjoy your weekend!
