I had to share this

SAW ONE OF THESE AS SOMEONES UPDATE AND FOUND OUT IT WAS AN EMAIL. SHE SENT IT TO ME AND NOW I HAVE TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE. THIS IS SO SWEET AND SO TRUEWhat Love means to a 4-8 year old.... Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes. A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?' The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined... See what you think.

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.' Rebecca- age 8

'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.' Billy - age 4

'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.' Karl - age 5

'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.' Chrissy - age 6

'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.' Terri - age 4

'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my d addy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.' Danny - age 7

'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss' Emily - age 8

'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.' Bobby - age 7 (Wow)

'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,' Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.' Noelle - age 7

'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.' Tommy - age 6

'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.' Cindy - age 8

'My mommy loves me more than anybody You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.' Clare - age 6

'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.' Elaine-age 5


'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.' Chris - age 7


'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.' Mary Ann - age 4


'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.' Lauren - age 4


'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image) Karen - age 7


'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.' Mark - age 6


'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.' Jessica - age 8


And the final one The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry'

My Ode to the Free Bird

While you have a hard time staying put and maybe sticking to things here and there, you have lived, you have tried things, you have experienced all that there can be to experience. Don't stop flying, some may be bothered by your flight, some may try to stop you, but whats that matter? You find joy in the new, and carry the memories with you. You will see, and experience things others only dream of.

Sometimes I feel you in there, you make me antsy. Im sorry, I cannot let you out, for sometimes its best to stay put. I love you dearly, and will never forget youre in there-you make me tick and bring me hope. Some arent so fond of you, but I enjoy you're company, you make life interesting.

Goodness!

This week has flown by, maybe its due in part to all the drama that has been going on. Damn it, I liked when my life was without all this sh*t. The ex is back, and I do not know what to believe anymore, but what I am sure of is that my trust is shot and my heart not so good. He's going to have to work real hard to get anywhere with me-but I supposed if you want it bad enough and he loves me like he says he does he will work till I have no doubts.

Now as for girls.....some are just straight up bitches and I am sort of over that. F*ck off, and f*ck you is all I have to say to that, you dont know how to be a friend.

A week and 2 days and I am back to my island. aaaaaaahhhhh (out stretched arms) the sun, the sand, my daily life how I have missed thee. I am not sure what to expect when I get back as everything has been turned right side up and upside down again three times over, but I am ready to get back and start a new chapter in my life. Heres hopin a few of these girls stick and around bc I'm lovin them so far, and heres to hopin he is real.
