people are like candles...

when they are happy, their flame burns bright...but there are things that can come along to stir the air around the flame and make it dance...but if the wind is strong enough it will extinguish the flame...friends are like a protective hand, cupped around the top of the candle so the breezes in life will not take the flame away...but I think everyone has tried to keep a candle lit in the stiffest of breezes...its not an easy job and sometimes we fail...and the flame is stolen from us...its not our fault...we did the best we could and still we could not protect the heart of a friend...and as we all know the best thing to do is keep ahold of the candle...do not toss it aside...for when the storm passes and the winds die down...we are able to relight the candle...so hang onto your friends...relight their flames...and enjoy their warmth when you have it...you may be the next one who needs relit...and it will come from a friends flame...

Having a yucky day...

but I won't give that part of it the glory...so the good things about today are fudge, a warm kitty, and friends...those who call you back and say they love you...the one who found her happy place...and the one who likes being an elf...they make me smile whenever I think of them... they make the world brighter when the sun is hidden behind the clouds...and they keep the fire in the soul going on cold and rainy afternoons so you cannot feel the dampness trying to creep in...
