I Remembered an Angel

Today's Note
Today I remembered an angel.  Time has passed.  People have come and gone.  Seasons have changed.  And with all that has taken place, this angel is still and always will be near and dear to the hearts of many.  I remembered an angel who looked out for me and so many others regardless of their good qualities or short comings.  I remembered an angel who watched over people as they slept in the cold air of the night.  I remembered an angel who cared for people in the neighborhood who were less fortunate or rejected by their family.  Your looks, disposition, build or demeanor were never feared.  This angel was a protector for those who could not protect themselves and a giver to those who needed it most. This angel put the care of others before the care of themselves and prayed for you when others may have given up on you. I remembered an angel who had wings that grew 96 years long and covered so many. 

Never take those who come into your life for granted for you never know when you will be touched by an angel.  They may be present for a reason, season or a lifetime.  They may be a stranger, an acquaintance, a relative or a friend.  But, when you are touched by an angel, you will realize it.  It will be life changing.  It will be love.  Love always. Love daily. 365 Love. TM

In loving memory of my grandmother, Viola Chester, June 28, 1916 - November 21, 2011.

Reflection on the Loss of His Father

Today's Note
My husband lost his father on November 16, 2011 at the age of 92 years old.  As the one year anniversary of this event drew closer and closer, he began to reflect more and more on wonderful memories and how he has managed to deal with the loss of a person who was near and dear to him.  My husband is not a poet and he is not known to express himself in writing. However, he is a man, a son, a husband, a father and a friend.  He is a person who loves. Today, my husband was inspired to write down a few words of expression.  They are not grand or verbose.  They are simply put, from a son who loves and misses his father.

Here I stand, one year later.

On this day one year ago, I lost the person who made me the man I am today.
On this day one year ago, I lost the person who taught me the value of hard work.
On this day one year ago, I lost the person who taught me that there is nothing more important than family.
On this day one year ago, I lost one of my best friends.
On this day one year ago, I lost the person who taught me to always keep my "swag" up.
On this day one year ago, I lost the person who told me to always keep God first.
On this day one year ago, I lost my dad.
So, here I stand, one year later,  proud to be David Kent, Jr.
I love you, Pop!

Love always. Love daily. 365 Love. TM

Take a Chance

Today's Note
Have you ever thought about the true difference between opposites? 

The opposite of happy is sad.

The opposite of joy is pain. 
The opposite of high is low. 
The opposite of up is down. 
The opposite of win is lose. 
The opposite of full is empty. 
The opposite of healthy is sick. 
The opposite of love is hate.

I think you get the picture.  The true in these specific examples is positive vs. negative or good vs. bad.   If you were given a choice to take a chance with one vs. the other, which would you choose?  I would choose to take a chance with the positive side.  I would change to take a chance with all that is good.  I would jump at the opportunity to take a chance with love, because love is something worth having, being a part of, doing and giving.  Love gives life purpose and meaning.  Love makes life worth living.  Never give up on it, because doing so becomes a choice to take a chance with something that is not love.  Is that the choice you really want to make?  Is that the chance you are willing to take? Love always. Love daily. 365 Love. TM
