Howling Wind

This windy cold weather reminds of a U2 song that has lyrics talking about the howling wind, I haven't heard the wind be so loud before in my life! I am inside and the window is behind me and right now the howling wind is all I can hear.

Its Saturday morning and I will be leaving for work in 30 minutes or so. I have spent the last hour reflecting a bit..part of my morning routine.I am always surprised at what I discover when I take the time to let my heart breathe and release. It's

shocking how sad I am! haha..it's weird to say that out loud but It is kind of funny...when I let myself reflect on my life..it only takes 10 minutes and I am in tears!
This seems to happen every time I am able to just sit and reflect but I think it's good to allow myself to feel. I don't really know what I am supposed to do with all of my feelings. I seem to have an on going un easiness and stomach full of knots through out the day thinking about things. It can't be helped. I know that giving it all to God is the only option and that's pretty much all I continue to do.

In retrospect I have a feeling 10 years from now I will look back on this time and be like " Oh yes! I see why I had to go through all of this, because what I am experiencing now in my life could have never happened if that didn't happen!" But..that perspective is still too far away. I am still stuck in the here and now..it's not so great to be honest. I have so many questions, too few answers and a lot of me shaking my head saying "What the Hell!!!!!" Pardon my language but "What the Heck!!!!" just doesn't do it.

I have to say.. one thing I miss the most about marriage is having that one person who at the end of the day you can say anything too. You can just let all the ugly out, the tears, the whining, the anxiety and worry..Even if they don't listen! You have that existence, that person who is there and can bear witness to what you are experiencing and... help you are not, it just feels better having someone else that knows what your really going through. It's so hard to live and try to breakdown how you feel to someone else who isn't really there, who doesn't truly know everything and all the pieces that created the situation. Spouses understand and know one another..without even having to say one word, they know. I miss that feeling so much. I want to just be in the same room with someone and that person just know..everything about me, inside and out without me having to say one word. It's that sigh of relief that comes when you lay your head down knowing that there is one person who you don't need to explain anything too. They already know and completely understand.

That's just a little of what I am feeling this morning,
I took a picture of some snacks I am enjoying these days and was going to talk about that but got a little side tracked!! Blame it on the wind I suppose!
Don't worry, I will talk about the snacks another day!

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
