That’s what makes us women.

I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take your pain away,
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today.

I'll listen when you need to talk,
I'll wipe away your tears,
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.

I'm here and I will stand by you,
Each hill you have to climb.
So take my hand, let's face the world --
Live one day at a time.

You're not alone, for I'm still here...
I'll go that extra mile,
And when your life is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile!

I wouldn’t hide, I wouldn’t fret, I’d cry, I’d wail, but then again will stand up on my two feet and walk the walk, live the life. That’s what makes us women, women!
I question myself, ‘would I do things differently if I coudl turn back time?’. I'm not so sure … I wonder … seeing myself in the position I am right now, and thinking had I done this, or had I done that differently, would things be different now? the slightest change in my past might have changed this present tremendously. there are things I wish I had done, stuff that I let go that I now think I shouldn’t have, actions that may have made me a better person or helped me land in a better future (present). humming the song in my head… I conclude, everything I did, I did for a reason. everything i let go, i let go for a cause. when i really come to think of it, I dont want to change a thing in the past … I still wonder though how things might have turned out if I changed an action in the past … but the present is wonderful… where I am is gr8, the people I share it with are a blessing … I am happy with all the decisions I made!!!

A Reason, A Season, or A Lifetime?!

What are you?! Are you a Reason a Season or a Lifetime?!
People come into your life for
a Reason
a Season
or a Lifetime.

When you know which one it is,
you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.

They have come to assist you through a difficulty,
to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are.

They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then,
without any wrongdoing on your part
or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something
to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met,
our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered
and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real.
But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
things you must build upon in order
to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson,
love the person
and put what you have learned to use
in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life,
whether you were a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime.

And I also thank all the people I’ve met in my lifetime who have lent me their ears, allowed me to belong, gave me support in my good and more-ly in my bad times, gave me love and let me love them back. I’m all the better because somewhere, somehow, and someone have given me hope that friendship is not fleeting, integrity is intrusive, and that good intent coupled with works can be a true embodiment of camaraderie for as long as it is deemed necessary to embrace a true friend! And for those that I’ve called a friend at some point in my life, you will always be one … but know that you will not be forgotten. Thank you all for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
