These are the things dreams are made of
Of tall castles in the sky
So come join me in my journey
Where doves and angels fly...

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.  When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.  When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly.  They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually.  They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason, you need them to be.  Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.   Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.

Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand.  What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.  The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.  When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.  Believe it!  It is real!  But only for a season.

 LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.  Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (any way); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Stop whatever you're doing today - and mail this page to that person that has crossed your path for a reason.  Maybe it's any of the reasons above - but it is for a reason.  Sometimes words aren't enough to say you appreciate someone.  Sometimes it's difficult to put into words. Life is too short to not tell someone who means something to you how you feel - or  how much you appreciate them. Sharing hopes, dreams and love is what life is about..but how often we fail miserably to say it to others - or maybe to ourselves.   Sometimes thoughts drift like clouds-never getting to be heard or felt...So pass this "Castle in the Sky" on to whoever has given you a kind word, a smile or a reason you have realized how important
it is to say this.....
 
 
 
 
 

Thank you for being a part of my life!

 
 

Some people pass your way
You may never even know why
Some people you grow to love
As minutes together slip by.

Some people are always there
To encourage and make you see
That you are someone special
When you feel that cannot be.

Some people are like angels
Encouraging you on each day
They see something that you may not
In a kind word or deed you say.

Some people are ministering angels
Sent straight from heaven above
Just remember to always thank them
When they reach out to you in love.

Life is a "Gift" - and so is Friendship AND Love!   Respect all three!!
Don't ever think a friend will always be there 'tomorrow' to 'mail',
call or visit with.  Life is sometimes not fair - but sometimes we
forget friendship and love are the two treasures in life we can take for
granted; until for whatever reason...we are without that friend or
loved one.  IF you are thinking of ANYONE close to you as you're reading
this page; my friend there IS a reason!!   So listen to your heart!!
Tell them that they are loved and appreciated TODAY - NOT tomorrow!

Enjoy the Castle in the Clouds above and remember to enjoy todays 'view' of
the beautiful things of nature that you can see, hear and touch here and now.
Make the most of every day you have, enjoy the wonders of nature and share
a bit of your heart and your smile today with someone.  Sometimes our
"Castle in the Sky' is right in front of our nose and we get too busy to 'see it'.
Stop, take a long hard look at your life; and you just may discover your own castle
has been right under your nose the entire time - and you forgot that.

Castles like the above are pretty; but without people and love they're empty.
Tell someone today you care - you're there for them and mean it!
Stop a moment today to send someone a little love and a smile...
 

That is called...

LIFE.

*S*
Take Care!!
