Every Now and Then

Every now and then I stop and smell the flower.  Every now and then I look at the clouds that are floating by.
Sometimes I sit for hours thinking about the family I used to have.  And how it could have ever gone so wrong. I think about selfish acts and people who want to control me.  And change me so I fit into their lives.  Not realizing I am happy with me and all that I am.     I think about the people who have made me who i am,  and wonder where I would be if i had been brought up in the world we know today.
I am not lonely.  I am not sad.  I am moving on and hope you can do the same.  I wish the best for you in your journeys. Life is to short.
It does not mean I do not miss nor love you.  It simply means I chose to remain who I am and who God wants me to be.  I will be fine as you will.  Just breathe in and out, knowing you made this decision not me.
