I love this song. It makes me think about how it could have been
if i had found that someone special; How it has been with the almost
special ones I have found; and How much i appreciate the special
friends and loved ones I have now and have lost as time has gone on.
And How it could be when i find the Right one in the future.
i don't mean a Mr. Right, or Prince Charming
just the right person for me, the one who gets me,
understands my humor and needs; all of that.
So I can say Remember when and still smile even if it was a painful memory
because I learned something from it. usually something important.
Like I am a stronger person for loss, i can be beautiful and loved.
I am worth something more than I thought before...


Remember When
Alan Jackson

Remember when I was young and so were you
and time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when

Remember when we vowed the vows
and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when

Remember when the sound of little feet
was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give it up
Remember when

Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookn' back it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are,
Where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when
Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when

I have met several different sorts of guys in my life. Some were wonderful, some were not so great. I have actually only dated 3 times. But some relationships aren't all about dating but about friendships. And I have learned a lot about myself along the way. I still have a ways to go but I am feeling better about what I need now.
And I am taking care of what is more important at the moment.
ME
Maybe that is selfish, but I need to be my own best friend first.....

Relying upon yourself is a great place to start. The beauty of that relationship, is it helps you better to love
and respect yourself. It also brings about an inner confidence that you can draw upon as needed. You are
able to define yourself yourself without having to define yourself by how you expect others want or need
you to be. Nothing selfish about that. It's better for other people, too.
