Lot's on my mind today . . . nothing of great importance really . . . well - I guess that my biopsies all coming back good is important and great news. I mentioned in an earlier post that melanoma seems to always be floating around in my head somewhere - waiting for biopsy results brings it more to the front. So I am very thankful for good results.
I've also been thinking about love today . . . I guess talking to everyone I know - all in different stages of relationships - has me thinking. I listen to my friends - both young and not so young, both male and female - and it seems we all may be attracted to different types of people - but basically we all have the need to love and be loved. It also seems that the fear of commitment and getting hurts seems to get in the way. I watch people protect themselves and hold back - yet - when it comes to love I think sometimes a person just has to abandon their fears - and take the chance. Especially if it feels right. Then I see others put their heart out there - only to be hurt - and that makes me feel sad for them. A broken heart can be hard to fix - although they can be fixed and many times stronger than before. I guess I have always been a hopeless romantic - and at my age sometimes I do realize that is sort of a silly way to be. I thought I had lost that silly romantic part of me for awhile - but I found it again and in finding it, I think it reinforced how I feel about love. Although now - I am more of a realistic romantic. I do know that if you plan on spending the rest of your life with someone - you better love them enough . . . enough to get through what life throws at you . . . enough to make it work . . . and enough to make it work and still be true to yourself.
I'm thinking about completely silly things - like . . . how great my rubber band ball has become, and how cute the two little girls are, who visit me in the morning and have started their own . . . and how good my new Peace Sign air freshener (vanilla/coconut) from Bath and Body smells.
My mind is also full of ideas today - of things I want to make and things that I have to get done. I just need to find the balance - so I have time to do the things I need to do as well and the things I want to do . . . and a little time left over for everything else.
Time to get busy . . .
It is so good to hear that you had good news about your biopsies. I am laughing at your rubberband ball. Would you believe that I have a rubberband ball too! My boss likes to bounce it when there's no one around, which is not too frequently as you know.
