Life
EXACTLY 30+1 MY LOVELY
Can you believe it? It’s not that it was that long
It was not enough; let that not take away from how great it was
I just want so much more that I would, if I could, rob the past for more time
I feel, I could have done much better
I’m not too worried about the next 30, I’m sure you’ll find way’s to entertain me
I thank you for the love and everything else, it is more than I could hope for
I love you more as I loved you then, and I will love you till the end
May we be blessed with more years together
You make me so happy like no other

To The Only
The one, for life
The one who brings joy and love
A breath of peace and comfort
A need fulfilled
I can go on, and run out of words
For it is a feeling, indescribable
You just know
With the power to empty your heart
Only to fill it again, and again
Like no other, with love
Beyond time
Happy Valentines Day my Lovely

Back To Forward
Do we go back so we can move forward, or simply refuse to move on?
Do we return because we made full circle, or just lost our way?
Resolution
A reset button, meant to reprogram our minds
A mind set, to start new beginnings
Changes, we require ourselves to do
Promises, of better things to come
Acceptance, of things not yet changed
Goals, to guide us
New solutions, to old problems
Hope, for something better
And dreams, that are very much possible
Peter Hill
Binds Vs Change
“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old but on building the new.”
Socrates
“The secret of change is to focus all your energy in accepting the fact that change is never bound by the old, or the new.”

Honor And Respect
Do we pay our respects by honoring, or do we not have enough honor to respect?
Did our parents lose us, or did we choose to let go?
Were they absent, or did we not seek their presence?
Were we not loved, or were we not loving enough?

Barcelona
The last leg of our two week vacation. We took the train from Madrid o Barcelona.
My first impression of Barcelona was that it was a more modern city. And then I found the Gothic section, I loved this area.
The city is infamous as the pickpocket capital of Europe, and it did not disappoint. I bought a dummy wallet for the trip and it was taken on our way to the airport. So please be careful if you go. It is still great to visit, and guys don’t forget the beach.
The Ancient City of Toledo
Home of El Greco and the famous Don Quijote De La Mancha
Another walled city that to this day may still be closed if needed. We will be back to see this awesome city again.
After Avila on our way back to Madrid, I knew we were not going to miss this one
The Imperial City, where Christians, Muslims, and Jews lived and still are living.
Right to Commit
Do you not vote because you think it would not make a difference, or should you vote to make sure you can?
Is the truth to leadership the absence of lies, or are lies essential to leadership?
Is the right to vote a choice, or a commitment?
Are we choosing the lesser evil, or the better liar?

The Walled City Of Avila
A surprise stop from La Granja to Toledo. I was so happy I made the side trip.
We drove two hours from La Granja to Avila.
The Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso
Very close to Segovia is La Granja
We stayed here for the night at Parador de la Granja. Very nice group of hotels that refurbish old buildings and castles with modern amenities. There are also several family owned restaurants that are amazing.
The gardens were designed by the same person who did Versailles.
Segovia
A couple of hours drive outside Madrid is Segovia. Known for its aqua ducts and Alcazar of Segovia Castle ( Inspiration for the Disney Castle}
When you have the opportunity to go to Madrid, I highly recommend renting a car and drive to the neighboring cities.
Angered Relationships
Should you let go because something is getting in between you and your relationship, or should you hold on tighter so nothing can get in between?
Is your relationship easily fractured, or forged by anger?
Are the stresses you feel pounding you to break, or making you solid?

More of Madrid
Viva España
Madrid is one of my favorite cities ,” Yo amo España”
After Italy we actually flew from Pisa to Paris and stayed for two days. The flight from Pisa is much cheaper than flying from Rome so we saved five hundred dollars and got to see Paris again
Palacio Real de Madrid
Plaza Del Sol never sleeps, it’s always active. Next stop Segovia.
Dreams
Said to be, an expression of suppressed desire
Sigmund, was like a bird on a wire
An interpretation is soon to follow
Makes you worry, like the other fellow
You may be asleep, or wide awake
It could be a goal, or a game the mind makes
Though it may soon come true
The real meaning is up to you
Now, since you can never prevent it
You might as well remember, every bit
Then as you wake and say, it was only a dream
Pinch yourself until you scream
The dream you have is there to inspire
So live your life and walk the wire
To do, as your heart desire

Childhood Memories
May be the fondest, or the worst
Can be a blessing, or a curse
It can mold you, or fold you
And change your point of view
People, places, and events
Joy, pain, and fulfillments
Regardless of what it meant,
It was all worth the time you spent.
For good or bad it might have been
It will forever be cherished and seen
As life goes on, you will always remember
Childhood memories last forever

Longing To Wait
Do you wait because its coming, or did it come because you waited?
Did it take too long, or did you lose the longing?
