22 years later... i miss you

A NOTE TO MY DAD:  Its been 22yrs today since you were called home... some wounds are never healed by time and some relationships can never be replaced... i miss your sarcasm, i miss your soup, i miss working on things with you, i miss listening to you and you friends swap war stories, bible verses and just talkin stuff back n forth with each other, you and mom pickin on each other, i miss your conversations, the things you taught me about life and people... oh if only i would have listened when i didn't... i always knew you were smart, now as an adult myself i believe you daddy were brilliant... i wish all the new generations of Middleton's had got to know you and know how strong you were, then they would know what they were really made of.. :)  I don't think you knew how big your position was in the family... it was obvious when you were gone cause we all went are separate ways... anyway i could go on but i wont cause you know i could talk all day... i just wanted to take time and reflect on you and let you know i still love and miss you to this day... if anything as an adult i love you more even 22yrs to the date...  BEN Z MIDDLETON (Dec 29, 1924 to Jan 27, 1992)

WOMAN ARE MEANT TO HAVE CURVES...LOVE YOU MORE!!

They just had on the news a high percent of woman over age 35 are struggling with eating disorders... (I am definitely not one of them), how ever this brought me to tell all of my fam and friends young and old.  embrace you!!!  We are not supposed to be in our 30s and 40s looking like we are seventeen.  we weren't grown woman then, we were still growing.  If you have in fact naturally maintained that girlish figure my hat is off to you, however, if you have gained a few extra curves along the way, as long as you are healthy, love you.  life is too short to keep up with these airbrushed magazine models.  remember they don't look like the cover, some of them are starving to maintain weights, receiving surgeries and everything else.  God did not make a mistake when he made you, he made you to be the beauty that you are not to look like the next person.  so instead of killing yourself to keep up with society.  let me be the first to tell you YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL BECUASE YOU ARE YOU!!!  BE YOU! MODELS AND CELEBERTIES ARE OVER RATED AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN THAT I EVER SEEN WERE IN MY NEIGHBORHOODS COMING UP... CLASSY LADIES WITH MANNERS AND MORALS.  THAT IS WHAT WE NEED TO TEACH OURSELFS AND OUR KIDS.  SO THIS YEAR... JUST EMBRACE BEING GROWN, CLASSY AND SASSY.  LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND LOVE YOU!!!  I love you!  and I love me too!  BE YOU!  Love Yall!

Just like family

Just a quick thought.... ever meet some one and just take to them real quick.  You know you just met but it seems like you have been together for ever... they could be your sister/brother,  or at very least your favorite cousin...  Then you think to yourself how very out of character for you to become so close with someone so quickly. Then as time goes on you realize that God puts everyone in your life for a reason and every once in awhile when you're missing your own family, he will provide someone and sometimes a whole family that you, feel like you are your own. You are blessed to have them and they are blessed to have you.  Then you realize that dna although important does not always determined family. Family is what you make it... and sometimes just every now and again you'll find someone or a set of someone's that feel even more comfortable than you natural family... even more comfortable then people you grew up with; so much in fact that it's hard to tell the difference. Remember to be thankful for the people that are in your life... especially those who are in fact Just Like Family!
Random but in my heart... thought id share.

hello everyone...

hello everyone just want to take a moment to say thank you for stopping by my blog.  I hope you enjoy reading my future posts, hopefully something that i say may either make you think, help your life, help you advise someone else in life or just simply entertain you. I am starting this blog because it seems the older i get the harder if find it to keep my mouth shut... so i have decided to take my random thoughts of everyday life and both my poetic writings and comprise a blog simply because... SOMEBODY NEEDS TO HEAR THIS.   so with that said, like it, love it or hate it, i hope you find something you enjoy!  either way, this should prove to be great therapy...  So check out a video or two, leave a thought idea, ask for advice, ask me a questions (i am a very seasoned and open minded over thinker), i have an answer for everything, trust me!  Dont forget to share this link with a friend, the more the merrier.
