For most of my adult life, I feel like I have kept an optimistic outlook, looking for the best in everyone that I meet. Prayer, faith, family, and friends nourish that positive attitude. I have always been so thankful for all I have. I have been fortunate enough to have soul lighters in my life, keeping the path lit, so I don't lose my way.
An age-old computer science phrase of garbage in, garbage out, (GIGO) comes to mind. It was a caution to users against trusting computer output that you got from unreliable input or source. Much like what I allowed my children to read online or see on television - before they were able to make those judgment calls themselves.
Serenity and peace reign in this place deep within, I take delight in the fact that it makes me feel beautiful inside.
Like a sailor in the deep seas of thoughts, you bring me knowledge to the shores of my mind. Have I told you how your words are full of depth, longing, and truth, giving meaning to my thoughts?
The day belongs to two of my favorite men, 
Thus I say unto you my friend, perfection (overrated as it is) will never be, not for me, not for you, but you stand in front of me, unique and in so many ways more perfect than most of the happenings I have encountered. Positively.
Like a river of eternity, let your thoughts be free like the birds in the air, and that, that is the gift no one ought to embezzle, for that belongs to you.
Be the change you would like to see. Accentuate the positive and help create a better world - for me, for you. Love to you always, Denise
All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.
The Naming of Cats
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
