Some people come into our lives

and leave footprints on our hearts

and we are never ever the same.

Some people come into our lives

and quickly go… Some stay for awhile

and embrace our silent dreams.

They help us become aware

of the delicate winds of hope…

and we discover within every human spirit

there are wings yearning to fly.

They help our hearts to see that

the only stairway to the stars

is woven with dreams…

and we find ourselves

unafraid to reach high.

They celebrate the true essence

of who we are…

and have faith in all

that we may become.

Some people awaken us

to new and deeper realizations…

for we gain insight

from the passing whisper of their wisdom

Throughout our lives we are sent

precious souls…

meant to share our journey

however brief or lasting their stay

they remind us why we are here.

To learn… to teach… to nurture… to love

Some people come into our lives

to cast a steady light

upon our path and guide our every step

their shining belief in us

helps us to believe in ourselves.

Some people come into our

lives to teach us about love…

The love that rests within ourselves.

Let us reach out to others

and feel the bliss of giving

for love is far richer in action

that it ever is in words.

Some people come into our lives

and they move our souls to sing

and make our spirits dance.

They help us to see that everything on earth

is part of the incredibility of life…

and that it is always there

for us to take of its joy.

Some people come into our lives

and leave footprints on our hearts

and we are never ever the same.

This quote by Flavia Weedn was inspired by reading a fellow blogger’s entry about there being more than one person who is our “right fit” out there. She said, “I used to think there was only one person – one “just right” fit – for us out there in this world. Well in response to her statement I do think that there are many people who come into our lives for many different reasons. For myself my past relationships have always left me questioning, was he the right one? Instead I realized that yes, he was the right one at that moment, but not anymore. If I had not met my ex boyfriend I would not love half the things I do now: art, music, food and that is just a few of the things. He took me out of the four walls of my sheltered home and helped me experience the world. Yes he was an asshole at times and definitely destroyed me emotionally, but once I looked beyond that I saw the good of him coming into my life. If I had not met him I would have never met my husband. My husband, despite our marriage not working out, was very influential on my life. He came into my life at the right time too. I was very down and depressed.  Then along came my husband who showed me happiness in life. He showed me how to love again. If I had not been influenced by my ex I would have never made a connection with my husband.  Now that my marriage is coming to an end, I realize that my husband came into my life for a reason. I may not know the exact reason right now but I will. As the quote says, “Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same.” Therefore as I begin to date again I look to this quote and believe that each guy I meet, whether it is 1 date, 5 months, or maybe a lifetime together, they will have some sort of impact on my life. We may not see it at the time, but when you look back, you realize that even from the hardship you faced from a troubled marriage, there is some good that comes out of it. I have become a stronger person because of it. We are a blank mold that is shaped by the people we meet and the path we follow in the journey called Life. I do believe that there is more than one person out there for us, we just have to find the one who is going to stay for a long time.
