A Message to My Friends:

I may be MIA for a while due to personal issues. I just don't have the heart to write right now, but I'll try to keep up with all of you as best I can.

Love and hugs to you all,
~J.

Doubt thou that the stars are fire;

Doubt thou that the sun doth move;

Doubt truth to be a liar;

But never doubt that I love

                          - William Shakespeare

                             Hamlet

For winter's rains and ruins are over,
And all the seasons of snows and sins;
The days dividing lover and lover,
The light that loses, the night that wins;
And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.

Please check out my AP husband, Endeavor:

Endeavor and I have just celebrated our one year AP marriage anniversary, and have renewed our vows for another year!

Those of you who are familiar with his poetry know that he is a romantic at heart who can make you melt with his beautiful expressions of love. If you haven’t read any of his work, I encourage you to do so. This goes for all you guys out there as well as women! You just might pick up an idea or two about how to woo the woman of your dreams. Our AP marriage is born of friendship, understanding, support, trust, and the love we share in that context. He has been a great friend to me from my earliest days here on AP and I will be forever grateful to have met him.
