the summer sun shimmering on the lake beckons me
the gentle breeze whispering in the trees calls my name
the peacefulness of the quiet forest envelopes me
the rustling of the leaves allows me to know i'm not alone
i smile softly as i close my eyes and dream
the beauty of nature in all her glory amazes me

there is a tree in a park, across from the house where i grew up...
at the top of this tree, carved with a pen knife over thirty years ago, are the words, "bobby loves tina".
recently, i drove past my childhood home, and as i passed the park, i saw that the tree was still there... and it brought back the memory of my first kiss...
it was the summer after my 13th birthday... the summer after my dad passed away...
i was sitting on the equipment shed at the park, watching a volleyball game, when bobby came over and sat with me...
i had the biggest crush on bobby, but never thought that he would ever talk to me... he was popular, and i was just "one of the guys"... very into sports....
we sat for a while, and talked... and then bobby stood up and carved those words into the tree... grabbed my hand, and pulled me up.... turned me so i could see what he carved, then turned me around, and softly kissed my lips...
bobby and i were together that entire summer, with plenty of stolen kisses on top of that equipment shed...
do you remember your first kiss?

i spent my weekend contemplating friendship... who are my friends, and what do they mean to me?
for the past couple of days, i have felt that i have been neglecting some of my friendships, and taking advantage of some of my others.
i want all of my friends to know that i appreciate every single one of them... i appreciate all of the things each and every one of you have done for me... even if it was just a quick hello and a hug from you... i do appreciate you....
i have many acquaitances, people i say hello to, who i may chit chat with, but i have realized that i have very few real friends.
my friends know who they are. they are the ones that i can (and have many times) poured my heart and soul out to; the ones who don't judge me; the ones who appreciate me for who i am, not what what is expected of me; the ones who know that i am there for them, as they are for me.
my friends are the ones who try to protect me, as they know that i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, and they know that i am very vulnerable. they comfort me when i face my challenges head on and fail, and are overjoyed to help me celebrate when i accomplish something that has been extremely difficult for me.
i have bent many an ear lately, and those that have listened, i love you for all of the time you have spent listening to my challenges and my joys.... to my accomlishments and my sorrows...
i have laughed with most of my friends here, and cried with a few... and i'm sure that there have been, and will be, days that i've felt that i've stretched my friendship to it's limit... but, the next day... there you are, happy to see me... to encourage me to go on... to make me laugh... some to cry with me... some to defend me... some to protect me... some that want to smack some sense into me... and some that just want to continue being friends with me... no questions asked...
every single one of my friends has touched me in a different way, and i know as i go through life, i will think of my friends daily... knowing that you will be there to pick me up when i fall.... to boost me when i cannot reach... to help me down when i am stuck... to hug me when i feel that my heart is broken... to hold my hand when i am lonely... and to just give me that special smile when i need it...
and you will be there to laugh with me... not at me... as i realize that some of the things that i do can be construed as being stupid and idiotic... to share jokes with me... to make me laugh when things are so difficult for me that i feel i cannot go on... to rejoice with me when i find happiness and all that goes with it...
i want all of my friends to know that i love you all dearly... i appreciate each and every one of you... and i am very glad to have met you all... and hope that we will remain friends for a long time, if not forever...
to my friends... i hold you all in my heart... i will be true to you all, and will be there when i am needed... will be there to laugh with you and be there to cry with you...
i love you all...

a soft breeze is lightly blowing, gently blowing my hair... i feel a soft touch along my neck... running from my ear to my shoulder... along the base of my throat, then and softly caressing my cheek...
i feel a soft kiss on my cheek and want to open my eyes, but am afraid to ... afraid that this wondrous moment will end...
i smile, and feel a soft kiss on my lips... shivers run up and down my spine... i feel electricity running through my entire body... i melt into the kiss...
my body feels limp... so relaxed... wanting to touch, but knowing if i do, all will be gone...
time seems to stand still...
i can feel my heart beating...
i can hear myself breathing...
i open one eye....
and..... ------------------------------------------------------
the weather is warm, the sun is shining... and i am relaxing on my balcony... enjoying the warmth of the sun...
i turn my face towards the sun, my eyes closed, a soft smile on my face... and i realize... it was all just a daydream...

as the days get longer, and i get older, i've had more and more time to think about my "bucket list".... my list of things that i would love to have experienced before my time is done....
it seems like at least once a month, i think of something else i would like to do, or somewhere else that i would like to go.... and then i add it to my list....
i have been able to cross some things off of my list, but then i find myself adding more to it... i feel if i let some of my friends know some of the things on my list, it will give them more insights as to who i really am...
things i would love to do: take a ride in a hot air balloon go to the daytona 500 go on a photo safari in africa stand beneath a waterfall go white water rafting stay in a cabin in the smokey mountains go back to school get a job at a radio station camp under the stars drive a semi truck fly in a helicopter
places that i would like to visit: the grand canyon australia scotland hawaii the amazon rainforests the galapagos islands
things that i have been able to cross off of my list: go to a nascar race go to a drag race visit nashville fly a plane (okay, so i took the controls for a couple of minutes, but it still counts)
i know that my list will continue to grow... and i hope that i will be able to cross more things off of it... and i hope that my friends will be able to help me accomplish some of these...
