Today I learned that sometimes a date can consist of something as simple as having lunch at Wegmans and going grocery shopping right after. It still amazes me that after 2.5 years, I still have the breath catch in my throat every time he looks at me with those brilliant blue eyes and gives a loving smile. And what amazes me the most is that I knew so early on in our relationship that it was going to go the distance, no matter what. Not even my ex was capable of making me feel that way about him, so I think there's a lot of progress in my discovery of what love is supposed to mean as opposed to what I think it's all about. I look forward to many more simple moments in my life where I realize that I am EXACTLY where I need to be.

To all my readers out there . All three of you. I took off my science fiction story because it was frustrating me. It just did not jell and when it did I planned to go back and rewrite everything anyhow. In college it usually took four or five rewrites before the word acceptible could be used. The problem is that I now want to write something from the heart, if I have any heart left? I think that I am also a frustrated romantic. Anyway, I have most enjoyed lately what might be called chick flicks and I have been reading The Notebook, after I read Nights in Rodanthe. Am I going downhill? In Nights in Rodanthe (Nicholas Sparks), eveyone in love is either seperated or dies, So why fall in love? It always ends in pain , but maybe we hope , like we romantics often do, that maybe this time it will workout, Maybe love leads to other virtues such as redemption empathy and the general polishing of the heart. One must gain in the exporation and understanding of such things, doesn't one?

My life officially rocks....literally! While I know that I can't always be a part of the band stuff, it's fun getting to be a part of it. Even with my ex, I never felt like a part of his world. He always tried to keep me out of it. But with Matt, I feel included and appreciated. After two years, he still manages to surprise me with his love and warmth. I still wonder where we're going, but I know that for right now, I'm content in just taking that journey with him.

"Sometimes when we take chances on things, it doesn't always turn out how we want it to. But it does turn out the way we need it to." I wrote this line in another online journal, and after reading it over, I realize just how beautiful and eloquent this statement is......because it's the truth. You don't always know how life is going to pan out, but be assured in knowing it will turn out the way it needs to. And from that, I can be content.

Last night was absolutely amazing! I remember him bringing me out onto the dance floor and there we were.....dancing to "Wonderful Tonight" for all to see. All I remember was just looking at him.....and that's all I could see in that moment. I was really moved in a big way last night. I know he's the one. No doubts. No concerns. He's the one I want to wake up to every morning and lay down with every single night. He's the one that I could share my life with. He's my everything.

I miss those love eyes...the wife of your youth the Bible describes it. Do you remember when the two of you against the world? You worked and struggled side by side but she had those love eyes. You can never recover those love eyes once they are gone. Honest, innocent love eyes wanting to know more...seeking ever so earnestly to be one together like never before or never again. A woman and a man. Now we are pierced with many sorrows when we once had those love eyes. We were on each others side not you against me. You against me relationships are no good because the house divided against itself will fall. Well where do you go? Where are those love eyes again? In the land of once was I suppose. There once was a love so true. Do you speak those love words anymore? Have they been replaced is there no one with those love eyes anymore? Am I afraid to look? Afraid of what is? now that I have lost what was? hmmm love eyes talk. chao
