If only......

If only has crossed my mind alot of late. If only I didn't sleep so late. If only I had waited till it was on sale. If only I had paid more attention. If only I had more patience. If only I would have taken the time. I am a firm believer that things and people come into your life when they are suppose to as I have mentioned in another blog. So why am I thinking like this.

My thought to why this happening is that someone I am very close too will be leaving soon. Chances are we will, not unless by some miracle they come back to this place, I will eventually loose contact. Friends like this come once in a great while. The sad part is they have been here for alot longer than the time we have spent hanging out.

I can't even begin to tell you how much as a person I have grown and how much spiritually, intellectually and just an appreciation of life that I have acquired just knowing this person. I find it sad that people everyday set people aside because they are afraid of something different.

Traveling to a different drum has been they way that I have lived my life for the most part. It has brought me some life experiences that probably would have never crossed my path. I am very grateful and appreciative of this. For now I will put the if onlys aside and enjoy the experiences to come with my friend and cherish the memories when they are gone.

You preach it sista! Life is a wonderful journey and we fall upon great fortune mentally, spiritually and intellectually with many of the people we meet in our life. Problem is many folks don't see that gift in front of them and miss a great experience becaus of their own fears of things unfamiliar or different from them. You my dear sister thought me this! To you I am greatful for the lesson of diversity and acceptance. Love ya!
