I was doing my “fall is coming” cleaning on my desk because it was becoming a total mess! Way too many papers and folders everywhere and I can’t stand it… Anyways, while doing my cleaning I found some info and notes that brought some memories… ah those old days… calendars, notes, plans… the notes/contracts of the condo I was going to buy… the vacation trips and schedules I was going to take… the notes of “remember this day” or “make sure you do X-Y”…. stuff like that seems like a long time ago, but they are not it was just yesterday… funny how you mind can work at times!
The best part is that I looked at them with a tender heart and smile… I don’t feel good or bad, I just feel like “oh” or in a more “Mmmm oh well” way LOL if that makes any sense. I don’t live in the past, but I welcome the experiences in my past life that has shaped me in to the person I am today… and the person I continue to become… It is such a sense of peace and in a weird sense of happiness that makes me feel fine with everything that happens… even content with my life now (of course at times I wish I’ve done things in a different ways or if I’ve know as much as I know about myself now… but all wishful thinking is a waste!).
Last Sunday at church the choir sang “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Simon and Garfunkel… I sang it out loud…Haven’t we all been in troubled waters in one moment or another of our lives? I’ve been there, I am the first to admit my highs and lows and even swallow my pride and by doing so I’ve found my bridges = friends, family, people at work, church… but the most important bridge I found was myself, all the answers where within me, all the bridges I needed have always been in me…
This song goes to all of you that need a bridge… You can count on me!
When you're weary; feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side oh when times get rough
And friends just can't be found.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you're down and out;
when you're on the street;
when evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part
oh when darkness comes.
And pain is all around.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silvergirl;
sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
Oh if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
