Over Time
It has been several years since I posted here. After my Dad passed away I found myself dealing with depression, a loss of enthusiasm, and a loss of purpose. I was a Daddy's girl, and when he passed, I started to question many things I was doing. Most days I just meandered through, and worked hard at getting lost in daydreams.
As I now look back over those days, I realize how much I learned to appreciate the time I have to live. I am now happier than I have been in a long time. Each day is exciting and new, and I thank God for each moment.
I have made many friends along the way, many loving friends, who never even knew how important they would become to me. Friends like Mary Susan. She has a beautiful way of saying just the right things to lift my Spirit. She has so much love in her, and it radiates out into this world to touch lives like me. She helps me to smile and find the good in each day. She has a beautiful soul.
Then there is Fabron Kelly. I met Fabron when his son Seth was in my daycare class. Fabron has changed for the better. He uplifts my Spirit with his posts of how God changed him, and is a big part of his life and his sons' lives. He is truly an awesome person, and a good Dad to his sons. He is also a good friend.
The ladies where I get my hair done are also beautiful and lots of fun to be around. they always brighten my time there by sharing stories that make me laugh, but they also share their stories of their own lives. Stories that touch the heart and I leave with a new look on life.
Another person who has touched my life I have never met, Steven Tyer, the lead singer for Aerosmith and now Loving Mary. He has a way of smiling that touches my soul. His eyes show joy, peacefulness, and love. I get a glimpse of my Spirit when I see him smile and hear him sing. I always describe him as "The Silence from which the music is born." His music helps me to smile, laugh, and sometimes cry. He is super talented, and has a gift which blesses this world.
I also am touched by Mia Tyler, Steven's daughter. I am drawn to her awesome soul through her words and her art. She shows passion and courage in her life as an artist. In her words she inspires determination and hope. I look at life with happiness and understanding because Mia is in this world, and I can know her through social media. Someday, I hope to meet her.
Because of the people I have in my life, my Spirit can soar through the sky and feel free like the seagulls flying over the waves!
