30 Day Writing Challenge~ Day 3~ My First Love and My First Kiss...

                                                                        My First Love
This stanza sums it up!!! When I think back...out of all the guys that I "talked to", "went with" and dated. There was only one that ignited a fire that smolders deep down within. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him and I don't think there will be another whose kindling can start a fire quite like his. From the moment our eyes met from across the room that day in Magale Recital Hall lobby, that moonlit walk and the days and days that followed there was just something about him.At the end of one semester he never returned and we lost contact. I was devastated and the fire simmered. Then I picked up the phone when it rang one Thanksgiving break I was home from college and a familiar voice was on the other end the fire rekindled and I found that he had also been thinking of me. We talked on and off for quite sometime and then I found out he was betrothed to another another lethal blow. He made me feel like no other could ever and he was patient and gentle with me when I said I was not ready to give up my treasure.  He never tried to rush me or make me feel less than.  He made me feel so special and I still do because of him. So as days and years go by I hold on to the memories of O.R. and he will always hold a special place deep down in my heart!!! If anyone could has the key to unlock my treasure it would be him and he could have it all!!! He will always my only true First Love!!!

                                                                               My First Kiss
My first kiss that I can recall took place one summer when I went  to visit my aunt in BR for the summer. It was with one of her neighbor boys that lived down the street from her that I had been hanging out with for a few weeks when I was there.  It was a great first kiss a lil french action and all the whole nine yards Lol!!! I was indeed a great summer!!!

30 Day Writing Challenge~Day 2~ Earliest Memory

 Earliest Memory

I have several early memories, but the one that stands out the most is my early school days at Ingersoll Elementary in head start. I was a cheerleader mascot and had the opportunity to cheer at several of the games with the cheerleaders, having camaraderie and so many older sisters that I didn't have. I was also crowned Little Miss Ingersoll being little royalty was fun. Also reminded me of how close my cousins and I used to be. I remember one summer participating in a summer program at the school and some mess was going down and some of the kids were being bullies. My mom had dropped us off at the school, but being fed up with the situation and to protect their cousin each one of my cousins took turns carrying me on their backs until we got to our granny's house. I miss that close knitted spirit of our cousins!!!

30 Day Writing Challenge~Day One~ 5 Problems with Social Media...

Five Problems with Social Media
               
                         Social Media Hype
Social Media has become to impersonal
It's time consuming and can cost ya
There are so many falsities
anyone can be hiding behind the computer screen
To me it's not what it used to be
Have 500 friends on Facebook, but rarely anyone
to call friend on the daily...

Because I've Known

I've known weaknesses that's why I'm stronger.
I've known darkness that's why I still have joy.
I've known personal chaos that's why I have peace that surpasses even my own understanding.
I've known loneliness that's why I know now that I'm never alone.
I've known heartache and pain that's why I know my true First Love and the Lover of my soul.

Musing

I have a lot that I could say. I could complain about how lifes plans didn't quite go my way. I could  be riddled with thoughts of my regrets and guilt or  bogged down with the things that I think I did not get. I could sit and wonder what life would be like if I married the love of my life by thirty, the house with the white picket fence or the twins with my dream job and published poetry. I sit and wonder often I do, but reality is there's more to life than everything falling in to place on my time table. In everyday I'm given I am reminded of this Gift of life and how precious it is and that in due season everything will come together because in and through Him all things are possible and I can't give up for I know a He's able!!~musings-LQJ
