Gratitude Journal – Day 199 – January 16, 2015

Drive Safely….

she said to me as we walked past the security desk down the hall flanked with banners of our company values and into the parking lot. I paused to look at her, one of the security associates also leaving for the day, and she smiled. In that very moment, I heard myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope and thought to myself that as many of our common sayings I remember every day, that isn’t one of them and was so grateful to hear it again....
And when I would work late, I would call him to let him know I was on my way – and every time without fail, he would say ‘Drive Safely Baby…’ Thank you for sending that message to me tonight myDarlin’. As I turn on to the expressway, I think of the many nights after Open Mic at the Pizza Exchange when I would say, ‘I will follow you.’
I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away
I must follow you
Ever since you touched my hand I know
That near you I always must be
And nothing can keep you from me, you are my destiny
Life’s journey presents each of us with challenges, and sometimes because of our experiences we reserve a small piece of ourselves that no one is ever allowed to see or touch. And I am no exception, that is until I met myDarlin’, my soulmate. And I gave myself to him, heart and soul with no reservations.
Today I am grateful that I found my soulmate and thank God for every moment we spent hanging on to this big blue and green ball spinning in the night sky. And in a sleepy daze, I can barely hold my eyes open as he bends over and gently kisses me. ‘Drive safely myDarlin’ I say as I drift away to dreams of days gone by.
