I wake next to a beautiful sleepy soul...the feeling of joy inside and a smile upon my face...get up, start my morning coffee...
sneak a few more moments next to that beautiful soul that kept me safe and warm in his arms all night...

Pour myself a cup of coffee with the "right" kind of creamer...the sun is shining bright and beautiful...life itself is beautiful at this very moment...how could it not be when, for the first time in so very long you feel as though someone could fill that huge void in your life...

Sitting at the end of the dock I take in all the beauty life is bringing. The sun kisses my face...the wind dances with my hair...sip that perfect cup of coffee...watch the fishes swim beneath me...and think of the one who has brought a smile back to my face. I want to put a smile on his...share the happiness he has brought into my life with him.

I take a walk...in search of some daisies...and there I find some...missed by the evil mowers...rescue the daisies, find some pretty pink sweet peas to go with them...wildflowers in hand I head back to wake him. Walking along the porch I am suddenly startled by something at eye level...it's him, peeking around the corner! Just seeing this handsome face makes me smile.

Out in the canoe we go to soak up the glorious sunshine and some of the beauty life carries. It is so quiet and peaceful you can just relax right into the world around you. Watching into the water for every glimpse of nature you can capture...the fishes, the turtles...the underwater landscape. Beautiful yellow flowers are beginning to appear within the lily pads.

Later we play around the dock...I watch him as he so seriously looking goes about fixing the docks character...work up enough courage to finally get my body into the water...cold...yet exhilarating...mmmmm...I just wanna swim! The weeds were a bit much for this moment...tis been awhile...it all comes back to you though. The thousands of memories of playing in the water n weeds n muck n goooo...hehe

Back on the dock I lay and let the sun warm my body...and the wind dry my hair. We sit together, legs dangling over the edge into the water letting the fishes kiss our feet. Not really saying much...but...did we need to fill the silence with talk? Isn't just sharing the moment and enjoying the presence of someone enough? Enough to make a beautiful lasting memory...engraved upon your heart forever...Sit by the fire...watching the flames and the coals as they sizzle...share a few memories...lay and watch the stars together just enjoying the presence of the other...the day ends just as it began...next to a beautiful sleepy soul, safe and warm in his arms.

This whole day brought many memories from the past to the surface...I gave them no options of holding me back...the old merged with the new experiences of the day...new memories of things I have enjoyed in the past...a new more vibrant smile upon my face and joy inside my heart.
