watching him....

yo and i headed out together this morning.
and he said something that made me turn
my head and look at him...

he said that he didn't think that people
put enough responsibility on themselves.
that they blamed other stuff, and other people
for what they created.

and on the flip side of that, they also
didn't know that they had the power to
undo a lot of the messes they found themselves
in.

i turned and looked at his face.

if he really has that down...
if he really believes that..
what a difference that will make for him.

what a thing it is to watch these sons of mine
turn into men....

Terri, I have to be honest I can't believe that you not only read my blog but you also took the time to write your thoughts. I live in Whitefish, MT and I am 28 years old. My life direction is not really where I would have hope it to be esp when I look around at the lives of all my friends. I am sub. teacher and tend to have a lot of time on my hands. So I like how I am and who I am at this moment in time I wandered the streets and came across this shop...I went in and started to look around, it was then that something caught my eye...your art work with your sayings...and for the first time EVER I felt like someone had heard all the words of my soul and wrote them plain as day for all to read. For the first time EVER I didn't feel alone or like I was the only one...that not only did my journey make sense...but I did as well...that even thou I really have no clue what I am doing, even thou my life is so different from everyone else's that I still matter....I sat in that store for ages and it was the first time I have ever cried in a store...I couldn't help it...I finally asked the lady behind the counter if there was something that had all the sayings and poems because I just couldn't decide...she then informed me that you had books...and thats all it took to get me hooked! I have read all your books and due to your gift of writing simple and to the point in few words (but yet those words carry so much meaning and things to ponder)left my room to journal my own thoughts on each saying and poem...I can't explain the depth at which your words have helped me and touched my life and heart. I thank you!! My very best to you...Michelle Goldmann (LOVEthisLIFE) Whitefish Montana
