And I tell myself yes, I've been here before, lived this particular event one too many times. Sure, it's been dressed up differently, different actors, words ever so slightly changed. But everything else everything I've seen before lived through before, but never quite settled. So here it is again, knocking on my front door, telling me one more ... http://www.cornerstonepublishers.com/evelyn/blog/archives/190 Love doesn't arrive in a heart-shaped box, with a bouquet of roses, or a few flattering words. Love builds with layers, strength and support. It shines during the most difficult times, with one who puts your well-being before their own.

Just when I think my eyes can see clearly, finally; and I no longer anticipate the unexpected, no longer anticipate a change of perspective. Then you turn around, and teach me something new. http://www.cornerstonepublishers.com/evelyn/blog/archives/186 I'm sure there is a turn I missed a door I failed to open, a whisper that never stopped my pace, to pause and re-evaluate.

I've gotten lost in the madness and the crush in the whirl of how I thought things should be. I've gotten lost in my long lists and my efforts to create an image. An image whose stress is so stripped of truth and peace.

Happy little pictures, joyful illusions, that upon first glance seem quite harmless, until life hits a bump, takes an unexpected bend, and we move so far afield from where we thought we'd be. Happy little promises, expectations all lined in a row, joyful, beguiling, merciless in their thorny grip, suffocating ... http://www.cornerstonepublishers.com/evelyn/blog/archives/180 I am inviting everyone to drop by Cornerstone Cafe, and check out my new interview. http://www.cornerstonepublishers.com/evelyn/blog/archives/177 Is he so charming?

He is attentive and all that can be dreamed of. The man that I love is a partner when life is stormy. He tries to bury his own pain even when it is nearly too much.
