When I say I love you, please belive it's true,when I say forever, know I' ll never leave you..When I say good bye,promise me you won't cry.Cause the day I'll be saying that would be the day I die.

When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being.

When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.

But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate.

I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.

Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.

From one bone, I fashioned you.
I chose the bone that protects man's life.
I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do.
Around this one bone, I shaped you. I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully.

Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile.
You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart.
His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life.
The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.

Support man as the rib cage supports the body.
You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to above him.
You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.

You are my perfect angel. You are my beautiful little girl.
You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart.
Your eyes - don't change them.
Your lips - how lovely when they part in prayer.
Your nose, so perfect in form.
Your hands so gentle to touch.

I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep.
I've held your heart close to mine.
Of all that lives and breathes, you are most like me.

Adam walked with me in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely.
He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me.
So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you; my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support.
You are special because you are an extension of me.
Man represents my image, woman my emotions. Together, you represent the totality of God.

So man, treat women well.
Love her, respect her, for she is fragile.
In hurting her, you hurt me. What you do to her, you do to me.
In crushing her, you only damage your own heart, the heart of your Father, and the heart of her Father.

Woman, support man.
In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you.
In gentle quietness, show your strength.
In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.
Did you not know that as "WOMAN" you are special in God's eyes?

A shout out to all my CS friends ! "I'm back !"

Despite any rumors of the contrary, I am alive and well and FINALLY back home in NJ.

I left Florida on Tuesday and spent several nights at various friends & family members on the way north. I had to apologize to everyone along the way, that I couldn't stay longer than a night or two, because I was gone from home for over 2 months. Geez, I HAD to get home.

Nonetheless, I spent Tuesday night at my cousin Guy's with his family in the western part of SC. Guy has 3 daughters, the youngest is 18. I got caught up on what everyone is doing, while sharing breakfast with everyone and was back on the road at 3 pm on Wednesday. I had to promise Guy, that I would stay much longer next time. He promised a tour of the waterfalls in the area then.

Next, I drove to my cousin (really 3rd cousin) Cindy's place in VA Beach, VA, where I spent both Wednesday & Thursday night. There, we both mourned the loss of my mom and her brother, Mike, who died last weekend. We spent Thursday walking around a VA arboretum, where we met some newscasters, who were doing a show on the bald eagles, that are nesting on the property. It turns out that she knew the broadcaster, as she was in a Vanna White look alike contest, which he emceed.

The bald eagles currently have 3 eggs in their nest. What was extra cool, was that, they have a CAM hooked up just above the nest, so you can watch in the visitor center or even online 24/7. I have a brochure for the place at home, but am at the library now. Thus, I will give you the link in the next few days. I also got to see my aunt (really my 2nd cousin) and one of my other cousin (really 3rd cousin), George. Wednesday night we watched The Bridges of Madison County, as it is one of Cindy's favorite films and she said that I remind her of Clint in it. I guess this is because of all the outdoor photography I do. I didn't ask her if she "felt lucky, punk". lol Cindy wanted me to stay much longer, but I was back on the road again on Friday afternoon.

Next stop was at my friend Robin's home in northwestern VA. She is someone I met a decade ago on AOL. We have shared a wonderful friendship since. She just got engaged on Valentine's Day and I wanted to stop by and congratulate them both in person, which I did. They still had their XMas tree up, so I took some pictures of the two of them holding hands near it.

After sharing breakfast together in the morning, I was back on the road again travelling though VA, WV, MD and PA. In PA I must have seen 40 red tail hawks soaring or perched and stopped long enough to take a few photos of them. Lastly, I stopped by a Designer Outlet mall in Lancaster PA and did some shopping. I got some great deals from Nautica and Wilson Leather.

Finally, I made it home on Sunday night. Ahhhhhh. My own bed ! "There's no place like home. There's no place like home." I don't have the phone or the internet on yet. I am currently in the local library on my laptop, where they have wireless internet access. Yipee.

I went to turn the phone back on yesterday via a payphone call and Verizon screwed up. Grrrr. I instructed them to turn my phone off TEMPORARILY, as I was going on vacation for a long while. Instead, they turned it off permanently. Grrr. Luckily, no one took my phone number, while I was gone. Whew ! So, I will get it back eventually, but I won't be able to use the phone, until about the 10th of March (or perhaps a bit sooner). So, here on CS will be the best way to contract me, for those who had my number. Regardless, "I'm back !"

Well here i am alone, again and again, after the last 9 years im not bitching. My life for the last 9 years was a living hell i was with a man who is addicted to cocaine, drinking and women, sounds great so far doesnt it! Im 41 now and i lived through it to tell our son and hopfully make him grow up drug and alcohol free. I was 32 when i met him and very nieve about alot of things well life, I fell in love with him i mean in love with him i would do anything for him even after he cheated and i caught him yea i would take him back, after so many times tho it was a little hard to believe that he really loved me, by the way i want nothing to do with him now and he still tells me he is in love with me OMG! Our son is 6 years old now and he is my world i spend most of my time with him teaching him how to treat a woman. Me i am doing fine i still have a great sense of humor and i have great friends that like to tell me that finding a new man isnt going to be hard because i am how i am, great to hang around with. will write more later.

After moving back down to phoenix I have realized that there are not that many girls that are in to extreme sports... such as rock climbing, cliff jumping, white water rafting, and caving. There are probably even fewer girls that poses the adventurous and outgoing qualities along with honest, caring, sweet,loving,and down to earth. Well I'm going to leave your the reader with a question that still to this day puzzles me. Is there any such a person?

Always remember to...

"challenge life and challenge others to challenge life"

I don't want someone who will be just there,I need someone who'll be there holding me and sincerly caring for me,till God takes my last breath.So do I make sense If I tell you I need you?
