The Reason I Smile

From the moment I met you and we shared our first embrace

I haven’t been able to take this smile off my face

Being around you fills my life to the rim

Your warm presence envelops me like a sin

I cherish our late night phone calls that I never want to end

But the distance tugs on my heart like the strings of a violin

I would walk every mile to just be by your side

Pass under the golden sun and star-filled sky

If only I could touch you and kiss you everyday

And tell you how much I’ll never let my love go astray

Peanut Butter Pie

If you are looking for a quick and easy but D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S dessert, peanut butter pie is the way to go. I'd like to think my Aunt Jan for this recipe!

The recipe below makes 2 pies:

8oz of Cream Cheese
1 cup of Peanut Butter
16oz of Cool Whip
1 1/2 cups of Powdered Sugar
2 Graham Cracker Crusts
Chocolate Syrup (optional)

Cream together peanut butter and cream cheese in a bowl (melt the cream cheese for 45 secs if too hard). Then add the cool whip and powdered sugar into the bowl and blend with with spoon. Next, use a hand mixer to blend until nice and fluffy. Split mix into the 2 pie crust and smooth out gently! (Don't break the crust!) Then drizzle the chocolate syrup across pie in a decorative fashion. My second pie, I tried to make an Easter Egg, but it more looks like a rock. :-/

Lastly, put the pies into the FREEZER. Remove pies from freezer 1 hour before serving.

ENJOY!!!!!

Seize the Moment

I just know its going to be one of those days

Where I inhale deeply and soak in the rays

I have my eyes closed and my face tilted up towards the sun

And I feel each freckle born, it’s life has just begun

Immerse yourself in these life’s beautiful moments

Listen to the sounds and become absorbant

To each chirp of the bird or rustle of a tree

And just tell yourself, this moment is for me.
