Life Happens (circa 2009)

life happens somewhere between the beginning and the end of a book. between two pieces of cardboard there is happiness and pain.  There are first kisses and goodbyes.  There are hard decisions and easy choices.  There are coffee shops and libraries, five star dinners and evening gowns.  life happens somewhere between his smile and used notebook paper.  between holding hands and driving nowhere.  life is an adventure to be enjoyed.  limits pushed and new ideas formed. life is singing while crying all the way home.  life is feeling your heart torn in in two different directions.  life is the song on the radio and his arms wrapped around you.  life happens between sunrise and sunset.  life happens behind closed doors and arguments that last for days.

 I've always loved the feel of used notebook paper and worn leather, an antique book and the connection i have with horses.  i love poetry and reading.  I love a warm blanket and a good story.  I love getting dressed up and knowing he can't take his eyes off me.  I love my cowboy boots and the whinny that greets me when I'm late feeding.  I love his smile and the way I'm not afraid to be myself.

Life happens somewhere between once upon a time and the end.  life happens through pain and after suffering.  life goes on, move past the events you cannot change- do not let them define you, rather let them teach you.  learn from every fall.  teach from example.
people are mirrors of yourself, how do you look?

life happens between hello and goodbye, between childish mistakes and adult decisions.  life happens in every breath.  life happens between the beginning and the end.  life is what you choose to show the world.

life happens.
