Someone Said Hello...

...never a doubt.

Sometimes what you are searching for is watching you, waiting for that moment of discovery and sadly we waste precious time as we are looking for the wrong thing. There will always be someone who promises you love and happiness forever but in the end they have not the fortitude to deliver. As it was for you it is for them, they know not what they seek as well. Stunned, captivated defying my description of what I wanted and sudden realization that God knew and when I trusted and let go I was rewarded with something, someone I waited for for so long. Yes words from the wise ring true and loudly.. "Let go and let God".

...and now.

One can never fully understand why the heart and mind work as they do. Sometimes working together, sometimes working against each other. But one fully understands the moment that all stands still and you are never quite the same afterwards. Wishing I could have met this angel years ago but knowing I was nowhere near ready for such a find. Lessons still needed to be learned and my eyes and heart would learn a final lesson. So blessed am I.

Beginnings...

.....sometimes words aren't enough to convey what the heart wants to say so badly. To finally have what I have searched for for many years....Learning what love really is all about.

...step by step.

Standing , looking for the smile as it walks though the door. Eyes meeting and then the feeling of falling again. No matter where I go, it feels like home as she is by my side now and that's all that matters..

...amazed.

Sitting here tonight coffee in hand thinking about the last four years. Seeing my life, the paths that could have been taken and the outcomes, some known some never to be known. Looking at my new wedding band on my finger, remembering every step of how I got here. How I still remained stunned at how I didn't see what was before me all this time. So much time wasted, what seemed like "forever" was nothing more than a game, but then again I wasn't ready to receive my gift. the mind and heart had to clear before they could see. Then in a moment I was given the sight to see what was before me. Unworthy of such a blessing....

...amazed.

So blessed....

On 11/11/2011 I found my forever. Many heartaches and lessons learned and relearned brought me to this place and into her life and now a life we share together..I still try and figure out the why and how but in the end God's grace brought us together and there is no questioning that..

My future..

Will speak one more time concerning comments from the previous blog "Hand in Hand"...

As I mentioned before in another blog. I always thought love had to be a certain way, look a certain way, start a certain way, feel a certain way, etc etc...In short, it had to fit my strict description and fit in my world on my conditions or it wasn't love. This came about totally unexpected, I wasn't looking nor wanted it. I was content to begin a new chapter in my life, single, happy and carefree. So a friendship that had been around for a few years suddenly began to evolve into something else. I didn't broadcast my personal life on the social networks, or post updates daily, so quite a buzz came from the news I was to be married. It wasn't off the cuff, or a knee jerk choice and most importantly NOT based on lust. While attraction brings two people together unless you have the foundation to build on lust is nothing but a fleeting emotion. Renewed only at the next pretty face that comes along. I speak as a person that chased a pretty face and lust was better than not having anything at all. It filled the heart but only for a short time before another fix was needed. The heart grows older and colder each time. In the end its not enough to sustain two people. I walked away.. Four years of nothing but heartache and its time to change, starting with myself. Yes I made some really bad choices over the years and I will live with those for sometime. Wishing I could go back and change so much. Sometimes just the answer of "no" and then walking away would have spared me much heartache. So now? No lust..It has no place in my life. I have found my hearts and soul's desire. Together, a future begins now....

Indeed someone has said hello and i must humbly admit its a gift from God. So looking forward to a new and wonderful life. More posts coming. A little busy right now..;-)

...my apologies to you all...

.....some of you may have noticed that some entries previously on here are no more. I must confess that I had to reopen my other blog, "Someone Said Goodbye" as the one I had chosen yet again said goodbye. Hard lesson to learn when it comes to trusting someone and taking them at their word. Apparently "I love you" doesn't mean much when spoken. So without any fanfare this blog shall remain until God allows me to find the one meant for me..Until then join me once again over at "Someone Said Goodbye."

..This blog will be the start of a new world, new life for me. Its the answer, or continuation I should say, to its "sister" blog "Someone Said Goodbye." That blog being about living after divorce and all the life that follows. As for now that special person has not come into my life and this blog shall remain here until she does....
