The eyes of Sarah Smiles: Eyes Forward

It's the last Tuesday, the last day of December 2013. I'm down to the final hours of a year that was both good, bad, and ugly.........tomorrow I get to start all over again to think ahead, look ahead, be ahead of where I was this time last year...........

I do not make resolutions. Resolutions are promises to yourself that you cannot keep. If you are one of the special people that can keep resolutions, my hat is off to you and I salute you........good for you, keep up the great work.....make it worthwhile.......

My human soul makes no resolutions or promises that she cannot keep. What she does is be a better person than she was the day before. She'll hug a little harder and let you feel the warmth of her heart and the arms that surround you. She'll hold her hand out, let you take it, to feel her strength and know she'll never let go. Her shoulders are there to lean your head on, her ears ready to listen.......Her eyes will not judge you, nor will her lips pass judgement against you. She's no saint by any means, but a lady who takes one day at a time and enjoys every moment. If you cross her path, she'll open the gate for you, let you pass or stay awhile.

I'm leaving 2013 with memories of road trips, sunrises, sunsets and Mother Natures beauty.............these I leave for you.....the memories I've made that I've shared with you this past year. Tomorrow will be the beginning of another adventure with more memories and more friends to be made.

I took a trip and saw life through the eyes of children. I became a child myself all over again. I left pieces of my heart scattered across sandy beaches that gave me some of the most beautiful sunsets I've seen.

Sunrises from a place that I will never tire of. A place where my heart and my soul find their happy....

I said so long, farewell, adios....to a kid that still fascinates me and thousands of others to this day. I had fun writing about you, 1 f Jef........you do and still make people feel special...............I will continue to watch you grow up, explore the world, spread your humble soul, your kind words.......you're the man!!!!
