Maybe someday . . . . .

Maybe someday my prince will come

Maybe someday someone will

     appreciate my complexities, idiosyncracies, oddities and weirdness

Maybe someday someone will

     challenge me as much as I'm sure I will challenge him.

Maybe someday someone will

     see a worthy prize of my heart.

Maybe someday I will

     appreciate not having to explain all my complexities and oddities.

Maybe someday I will

     rise to the Greatest Challenge I would ever face.

Maybe someday I will

     be worthy to see the Prize in His eyes.

     and maybe someday I will come to my Prince.

Well, I got just what I wanted for christmas. And, very happily, I should no loger be missing any church on Sundays anymore.  I went to our Carols by Candlelight service on Christmas Even and  Thankfully I had at least 3 people mention to me that they hadn't seen me and were wondering how I was doing etc.  That really touched my heart.  Generally speaking I feel pretty invisible.  So, to have more than one person notice that I had been gone really touched my heart.  You'll see below a picture of my favoritest Christmas present this year.  A new dual alarm clock so that i don't have to re-set and change it every week etc.  That has been the problem. But, it is now solved. 

I have to note here though, mostly because I'm in a contemplative mood, what I am most thankful for. 

1. A family who loves me more than I could ever understand and are doing the best they can do in any given day.
2. An extended family on one side who certainly seem to accept me for who I am and who's company I enjoy.
3. A church family that sees me, appreciates me, and notices when I'm absent; more importantly, one who mentions to me that they've missed seeing me. 
4. Relative health.  So many people are sick this season and some with terminal and long-term illnesses.  I have the end of a chest cold and stomach problems that I could fix if I put my mind to it.
5. More friends than I even realize or appreciate.  To the closest of these "Thank you,"  you know who you are.  You are the ones that help me hold "it" together on the days when I feel like I'm losing my mind. 
6. A roof over my head, more clothes that I need, WAY more food than I need, variety, cable, telephone, heat, gifts, excess, electricity, warmth of heart.  Things that the vast majority of this world will go without on a daily basis for the better part of their lives.  Things that many people will die for lack of. 
7. Intelligence, I understand, I can read and enjoy a variety of topics, I can discuss any number of things with a reasonable amount of knowledge, I can provide a life for myself without outside assistance and learn almost anything I should set my mind to.  Most of us don't realize what a blessing this really is.
8. All of the little loveliness-es of my life.  Internet, this website, psychotically fast typing abilities, friends who laugh at my jokes, a job that I enjoy, VCR's, a Gazelle exercise machine, Down blankets, Chocolate . . .
9. Oh, and freedom!  So much freedom.  Freedom to say essentially whatever I please in almost any form I please.  Freedom to destroy myself if I should choose.  Freedom to worship Jehovah God however I choose to do that without fear of incarceration or repercussion.  Freedom to love whomever I choose regardless of their parents, skin, background, family, faith, orientations, choices, lifestyle.

I hope that you consider all of the little lovelies of your life and Thank God for putting them into your life.  Thank you for reading and Here's to 2006 full of lovelies.
