My Man

On the eve of valentines day, I write these words about my beau.

My True Companion

Adventure abounds
Lets drive into the mountains
There are mountains here?
Cuisine our magnet
Life rich
Familiarity in family
We are never alone

You've seen me at my worst
torn, sad
loved me as I am
monkey boy
monkey girl
cuddling early morning

Passions, interests
travel, gambling
time passes
don't notice do you?
So much fun
laughing, and living

Support and cheering
To chase dreams
Happiness
we want for the other
This is our life
give and take
adventures to come
communication, compromise

you found me
here's to friendship
tears of joy
day in day out
goof-ball, nerd, silly
dorky, loud, funny
nicknames

adventure awaits
fun abounds
we have a world to see
lets drive, go somewhere
coffee in hand
I laugh
that's all I need

2006

The holidays went so fast, and I was in three different states for each one at the end of 2005. Thanksgiving in San Francisco, Christmas in Seattle, and New Years in Raleigh, NC. What a freakin whirlwind!! It was just enough time to say hi and then leave.
It is now 2006, and I have decided that I'm tired of not knowing what to do with my life.
I know the things I'm interested in, but don't have a clue about what to do about the long term picture!? I do know there are people out there that refuse to face that feeling, and they go their entire lives working mindless jobs that do NOT make them happy.
At least this puts me in the category of "not completely, and utterly lost."

It is now time to realize that I do too much for others. I am constantly keeping my friends entertained, and always filling my schedule with get-togethers, and social functions. Now, this is not an entirely bad thing, but it is when I feel like I am not doing enough for myself.
I came to this conclusion after much discusion with my boyfriend. I am now determined to figure out what I want to do wth my life (maybe becoming a teacher) and to get healthy, and maintain a healthy weight for my frame. This is for me!!

Happiness is key, and the key to Happiness is using your gifts to help others.
