What Life Means To Me

Breathing in and savoring the aromatic fragrance of an opened Princess Diana rose. Being there and watching my daughter being born. Feeding a homeless person and enjoying his company and sharing conversation to learn of his life. Picking a needy charity and giving knowing it will benefit a needy child or person in need. Looking into my daughter's eyes and telling her I love her and I will always be there for her. Hugging all of my family and telling them that I love each and everyone of them. Holding my wife and telling her how much I appreciate all she is and expressing my love to her. Thanking every man and woman in uniform for their great service to our nation. Walking through the forest in the fall holding hands with my wife and taking in nature's beautiful changes. Shoveling my old neighbors driveway because I know she can't do it herself. Cooking my favorite dish and enjoying and savoring every morsel. Remembering the friends I made along life's journey. Thanking my Lord for all he has done and given to me.

Thank you Andrea how have you been. I'm trying to get some ideas put together for your contest. It is not easy. I hope you and your kitty are doing well. Maybe someday all us writers can meet somewhere and create deeper friendships than just a comment on a page. I feel a bond between all of us through comments shown and words written that I relate to and love knowing they came from special people with kindheartedness. Maybe someday, Andrea.
