Day 858

Where I am… they are. It is my normal.

Some might feel they are in the way or underfoot, but I know they are right where I want them. Their comforting presence is beyond explanation. They create an aura of safety, peace and love. How lucky am I?

There are people in our lives who create that same aura when they are near. I have been lucky enough to experience that first-hand and I know that the two who come to mind were and are true gifts indeed. Always there with wisdom, faith in me and love, just being close has often calmed me beyond measure.

Wondering how I could be that gift to someone else made me think about these two men and what they offer.

*A calm persona with wisdom enriching every conversation

*Life experiences that helped with empathy

*Intelligence without haughtiness

*The kindest eyes that connect with the heart

*Fearless by nature

*Gentle and honest

*Always dependable

*No end or conditions to their love

Although I possess a couple of these traits, I have a long way to go. Even those characteristics that might apply to me need to be nurtured now and then. Still, it’s worth the effort.

So thank you to my Goldens, my father and husband for making this world a safe and loving one! I will keep trying!
