Progress Report

I want to write this down because it's very exciting and I want to remember it in the future. Maybe that's why I write every post. Hmm, and DUH I guess. :)

I've worked at my job for 2 years and 5 days. Telecom Network Solutions, TNS for short. We have just been asked to do work in the Caribbean and I've gotten my passport and my name is going on the company down there, etc. etc. My life is gradually but then again quickly taking a turn for the better. My health, my work, my relationships, my interests, everything. The depression has lifted and other than my weight, which I'm trying to work on in a healthy way, I'm pleased with the way things have been going.

In a few months or a year I'd like to check back on this and see where I was now. Do you know that everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen is all happening at once? Interesting, Quantum Physics. My next big interest I think. :)

Lovin' the flute by the way.

Dreamin'

Had a dream last night
I was in a boat
sort of a canoe but bigger
floating down a jungle-looking
waterway and
at the end was
My Daddy!
We fished together on
worms, he dropped them
down an embankment
and I scrambled to get
them for him just to
make him proud.
Then, I got a hug
from my Daddy -- it was
so wonderful. I woke up
HAPPY!!
Thanks for visiting
DADDY! I LOVE YOU!!!!

The Flute

A dream.
To one day play the flute with a group, band, orchestra, whatever.

This was part of my childhood that I really enjoyed, The Band.
In The Band I found my first true love.

So I've bought a flute, student, Yamaha.
I have my first lesson on Wednesday.

August 29th 2007 the beginning of a dream come true.

Thank you for the inspiration.

Trivial?

A thought . . .

Never
let your life
become
so trivial
that
the trivial things
matter.

Hello Daddy

The 3rd anniversary of my Daddy's passing has come and gone. I was so sad, so intent on remembering both the several days before and after his death date. I ordered flowers for the alter at Mother's church, in memory of Dad, in honor of Mother. I miss him so much. Does he have the slightest idea how much I miss him? God, I hope so!!

What I wouldn't give to call him up just for a second ~ Hi Daddy! I would say. I love you!! Are you ok? Sweet Jesus how hard it is to lose your Daddy. Was there something I could have done to keep him here? I don't think so but looking back there are so many signs that MAYBE should have been recognized. All I know is that I failed him in that way. I try not to second guess myself but it's so hard because I desperately miss him. I want to say Hello Daddy out loud to the man I called daddy. Not to the air. Not to the computer. To him. Hello sweet Daddy. Do you know how much I miss you? How much I want to call you on the phone? How much I want to hear from you? I can't wait to see you. I'm so looking forward to that day. I'm going to scream from the rooftops. Today I'm going to Finally see my Daddy.

Will the pain ever get better? I don't know . . . I hate not knowing . . .

Somewhere my Daddy is and I'm trying to get a message to him. Daddy do you hear me? Daddy can you see me? Daddy can you hug me? I love you so much. Please don't forget me. Please be happy. That's all I ever wanted.
