Reflections

We met a lifetime ago and no we didn't get along. I was but young and foolish, I should have known better. Today I saw images of the past, of you and how you are today. You've done so many beautiful things, you have such a big heart, yearning for a simple life and in a different time, under different circumstances, I would have been honoured to know you. I know you meant no malice, and I hope you realised that neither did I. I am aware that I did hurt you, and everytime I think of that night and all your tears, though all I did was stand firm for what I believed in, I hang my head in shame, only because I made you cry over and over again. You didn't deserve his lies and I'm sorry I didn't know before.

Winter windows

Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh ho, sing heigh ho, unto the green holly;
most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.

Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remember'd not.
Heigh ho, sing heigh ho, unto the green holly:
most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.

William Shakespeare

Oh my God! You're pregnant!

It's the first time I've asked the question, and received a jubilant affirmation.

Congratulations!!! I'm most excited and am fighting to keep mum about it until you officially announce the news!

I was just musing in the meeting before I rang her back..maybe she's preggers, that's why she kept ringing - CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas
