I've been neglecting this blog a bit, so thanks for checking back. Things have keeping me busy, from sports to cooking (goal this term is to cook a lot - iron chef by the end of this term! j/k) to what little school work I have to do, and of course concrete toboggan. It's so easy to be busy, and even though its nice to be busy, its also nice to make time to spend with great people.
I haven't really decided what to write for this entry. A few things have been frustrating me lately, and even though ranting can be SOOO exhilarating and very tempting, I prefer not to share my angry thoughts with all of cyberspace... After many talks over martinis, cocktails and desserts, my girls and I have come to conclusion that boys are the bane of our existence. One of my pet peeves is initiating something and not following through. Yup, that's all - just gonna put it out there.
It's times like these that I think back to this letter I remember reading in Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. It is so sweet. It seems sometimes that things are so complicated in today's society - but this letter makes it so simple. I like it when things are simple, and so I thought I'd share it.
Dear Boy,
I do not know who you are, or where or when we will meet, but i do hope it's soon.
I pray that when we meet and fall in love, you will love me, for me, and not hope for someone who is thinner or prettier. I hope you won't compare me to girls who may have brighter smiles. I hope that you will make me laugh, take care of me if I get sick, and be trustworthy.
I hope you will remember that I prefer daises to roses, and that my favorite color changes with my mood. Please know that my eyes aren't blue, they're gray, with flecks of navy.
Please know that I might be too shy to kiss you first, but please don't be afraid to kiss me. I won't slap you or push you away. I'm sure your kisses will be perfect. When we go on a date, please don't stress about where to take me; what's important is that I'll be with you.
If I cry, please know it isn't because of you, just hold me close, and I'll heal quickly. And, if it is because of you, I'll heal just the same.
And if we decide to break up, please understand that I may be bitter, but I'd like to be your friend if you'll let me. I promise to remember that you have feelings too, even though you'll never admit it, and when you are ready we'll have a friendship.
Please tell me if anything I do bothers you, or if something just doesn't sit right. I would like you to always be honest with me. If I have a bad day, I hope you will shower me with confidence and smiles.
I hope you don't think that I'm asking too much of you. I hope you understand that I'm a little bit nervous and very scared.. I wish I could tell you how or when we will meet, and if we will be in love forever. Every relationship is a new game of cards, and ...(sigh)...I've never been good at cards. But I will try my best to be kind and love you dearly for all that you are, without expecting too much from you. Thank you for listening; this is all that I ask.
Yours always, Sarah
