I see great people… What do you see?

Last week I’m at the store walking
around an aisle when all of a sudden,
a line from a movie pops in my head;

“I see dead people,
only they don’t know they’re dead.”

(this is my paraphrased version -
I haven’t seen the movie in 7+ years)

To which my mind echoed back this,
and it’s been haunting me ever since:

“I see great people,
only they don’t know they’re great…”

It took me a week to write this piece
because I don’t know how to convince

“You don’t have to see
the whole staircase,

one that quickly turned out of sight as it twisted upward.… —-> Continue…

seemed like most people accepted what they saw
on TV or heard on the radio or read in the newspaper

For so many years I’ve held a belief that
people come into our lives for a reason
- AND that sometimes we know what that reason is,
and sometimes we don’t.
chuckle…
Do we ever really know ?
And just when we think we know the reason
- Life shifts and we need to think of another reason !… —-> Continue…

What is YOUR special occasion?

Not too long ago I was listening to a song
I’ve heard many many times before.
It wasn’t a song I particularly like,
but on this day I really heard it.
What stood out for me
was this part of the chorus:

“…a moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this “

Many things came to mind, namely that I couldn’t
think of a moment that I had NOT waited a lifetime for.… —-> Continue…

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

It’s that time of year again where they play all those songs
that are supposed to put us in the Christmas Spirit.

Among these songs is a more recent one called
“The Christmas Shoes”.
I get a lump in my throat whenever I hear this song
- even more when I’m driving at night alone.… —-> Continue…
