YOUR SOULMATE

It's turning into another cappuccino morning and it isn't evem five AM yet. We have made our yard run, Bologna was the food of inticment this morning. She has gone back to bed. I am waiting on the tea kettle to heat and trying to sort ideas. Oh yes, no snow yet. The weatherman, fickle creatures they are have dangled that information over our heads the last three days but none has arrived yet as of this morning.

I had several different topics I played with for today. The main one, my two kids. And I will write one day about them. They are the one good accomplishment I have created in this life. I just want to be sure I do them the justice they both deserve. I toyed with the episode about the FBI men and decided I wasn't up to that topic either. Also I have a prayer about being a nosey, advice giving older person. I will use that one day but I am not ready for how close that one will hit home. I also have a good friend named Nancy and I must write about her too. So many topics. I was thinking about it when I went to bed last night. I know the last few days have been just a stream of make not much sense words. I am afraid what is about to follow will be no better. Ahead of time I will say I am sorry and still hope you drop back by another time. Surely these will start getting at least a little better

People come in and out of our life's. Some for long periods, some not so long. I have always believed certain people come when we really need them or vice versa, they need us. But have you ever met someone, maybe just a chance meeting. When you just wasn't expecting it and when you talked to them for just a minute, you knew. This was a soul mate. Someone who just stirred something in you. We meet all kinds of people but there is that certain someone, its like we have found the part of us that has been missing. Maybe you can call it love, maybe not. But you are connected to them forever, even if you are never around them again.

Maybe I am romantic, but I believe there is a certain person that is created for you. I think your spirit searches for that person your whole life, until you meet them. A man told me a story once. No he was not talking of me when he told it. But he said,"There was a old chinese story how at the beginning of time each person was created with a matching spirit and if you did not find them in this life, your soul just kept coming back until you met them" maybe you meet this person and time, age, death or just circumstances separate you. But they leave behind a empty spot that will never be filled again. You just know, you hunger after they are gone for that complete feeling you had and know you will never experience it again without them.

I hear of people who have been married seventy years or more and think,"Wow." How did two people be able to stay together through all the curves and bumps life throws at us. It's called a soul mate. The other part of you that just came in another body. Someone who's smile makes all the day's headaches disappear. You may get upset at them, but you know you are meant to be together. How sad that so many of us have this distorted view from a young age that the first person who stirs us inside is meant to be the love of our life, which I might add is usually lust. I believe the word love is bandied around way to much. We just don't wait for that connection. Maybe you've had a soul mate and time, death or the fact they come along after you had already made life decisions that couldn't be changed but you know and you will always know. They were the one. So maybe not in this life but forever your two souls will struggle until they are reunited. Now this may be a bunch of nonsense to many of you. But isn't it a beautiful thought anyway.

Don't even ask me why I wrote this silly piece this morning. I am sure or at least hope I could have done just a little better on some other subject. But these are the words that just came spilling out. So keep your smile on and your head up. You just never know when your kindred spirit is just around that next corner.
