Ah, True Love....
Some of us have found it,
Some of us have longed for it,
Some of us still long for it...
Some think they have found it,
Some have...
The former want to know how the latter did it, and how do you know?
I have walked the desert of lovelessness,
I have walked in the forest of love's illusions,
I have danced in the joy of real love.
True love isn't finding someone to complete you.
I don't think you find true love until you are already complete.
Rather, I feel you find true love when you are close to realizing your completeness, or at least, are not trying to fill the void of your illusion of incompleteness.
True love is a compliment, not a completion.
True love doesn't ride up on a white horse with the wind blowing in his/her hair.
True love is for the daring, the fearless, the bold.
If you ask, "where do I find my true love?", I will say, look within...
find your true love, yourself,
only then can you find a companion to share in your journey.
If you don't appreciate yourself, why should someone else?

Children's concerts for many years to come
When my husband and I had basic cable T.V. and were childless several years ago, we used to sit and watch the local channel that aired the School Holiday programs. They were kind of boring, but it was fun to laugh about them. You could always tell what kids wanted to be there, and which ones would have rather stayed home. We knew some day that we would be attending these kind of concerts in person.
Since my son is in Kindergarten, we went to one of his first of his Holiday Concerts today.
Many eager parents waited for their Child's debut performance.
Guess whose child stole the show.
The funny thing about our son, is, I don't believe his intent is to steal the lime-light. He was so overjoyed to see his smiling parents in the audience, that he couldn't contain his excitement.
The Kindergardeners stepped up onto stage and started singing. Some looked bored, others looked dazed, ours was trying to give his parents a show. He was clearly nervous, wringing his hands at the beginning, yet grinning ear to ear. He danced when the others stood still, and gestured with more emphasis. At one point the teacher's aid looked over at me, and we shared a silent chuckle. I heard the lady next to me say, "that little boy in the orange shirt is so cute!".
As the other grades stepped up to sing, and the others sat back down, he couldn't stop waving to us from where he sat. What a proud day for a Mom, what a proud day for her son, probably for Dad too, even though he doesn't show his zeal as readily.
