Just a few insights...and musings...as I seek to interpret the forks in the road of this puzzle called life. Seek First to Understand...

The Debt I Will Always Owe...

Sometimes...you just want someone to take the lead...if only for a moment. Carry the weight...or even just help to share the load.  Walk in your shoes...take the load off...give you a day of no responsibility...And then it hit's you as the memories start to surface...they already have.  And with open arms. And you may not have even given it a second thought at the time...or much weight in the big scheme of things.  But people rise to the expectations of the people they care about and admire.  Don't they?  Or do they? 

Either way...I'm indebted to those who have guided me through the years...ever so softly with a gentle nudge...and even those who just said what's on their mind.  I've been truly blessed to be surrounded by those who care, even with ties that are complex and oh so intricate.  I feel the love...and sometimes the fear...and of course...the pride...and I think I am ok with that. 

So as I relax into the thought of being pampered...truly spoiled...and loved with every beat of a heart...I'm reminded...


And I mean that...
