April Fools... and Angels
I've been thinking a lot lately about the people who have come in and out of my life and the effect their passing has had on me. Good people have come and gone. Good people have come, turned bad, and have gone. It breaks you down in way, but in the same light it releases you and makes you look more closely at yourself and re-evaluate the kind of person / friend / daughter / lover you want to be. In turn, you start to realize the types of people / friends / lovers you want in your own life.
I stumbled across an internet email that is a pretty lovely way of summing it all up. Maybe you guys have seen this before... I have and I think it's very real. Hang on to those lifetime people, guys. They're what ground your soul at the worst of times.
PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it; it is real. But only for a season…
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Hi there,
I found your blog by casuality, something very usual on internet...
I like a lot this and the previous post, about people in your life, is an interesting point of view. Is when you can realise that you are with the persons that you want, because we can choose to our friends instead our family. And the way you meet people, I guess is what people call destiny. Sometimes I don't believe in destiny, but then things happens and when you cannot find and explanation that must be destiny.
And about your life list, I start to think and I'd like to write a list also, like a guide to know where you are and where do you want to go.
Well, sorry for my English, is not so good. Do you speak Spanish?, I can see that you are interested in Mexico. =)
Saludos!
