I admire you.
Yes. I am talking to you.
I admire you, not because of your fancy cars, pretty face, luxurious homes, or your jet-set lifestyle. And do leave the appearances at home, it’s not a good look on that perfect hair.
I admire you.
I admire your strength when you would rather wither away.
I admire your resilience on the darkest days.
I love your willingness to laugh in the face of adversity.
And I admire your integrity in staying the course.

I admire conversation that can agree to disagree.
And the character of being true to you.
I admire life-long learning,
And your willingness to share.

I admire your sacrifice and unheralded life.
And the respect you give to a child who finds angels in the clouds, and water to dance down the river.

I admire you.
Wind Kisses, Donna
Your turn…

We should all aspire to be that person, Donna. I feel blessed to know some of those people and am getting to know others. ❤

Thank you Sarah. Every time I see that photo, I can hear the trickle of the water come down Mt. Rainier. In AZ water is so noticeable, since we don’t have much of it. I love the sound of rain too.

Thank you MArsha. I have indeed walked in a few of those shoes. We all have. My dad used to say to never compromise your character, it’s the only thing you have that’s truly you. I miss talks with him. He is still here, just not in a capacity to have conversation any more.
Thank you.

That is quite a tribute to him. My family is part of my make-up as well. As you say, we can’t talk. I don’t hear voices telling me what to do, but they are innate.
