Rediscovery, Poetry, and Self

Hello Readers!
I apologize.  I had told you that I would post at least once a week and I have not been doing that.  You see, although I have had lots of things to say, I have not been able to find the words to say them.  As I mentioned before, this blog is supposed to be a way for me to rediscover myself, but apparently the holidays are not a good time to find one's self.  That is until today.
I have a friend who writes poetry.  Well I have several friends who write poetry, but this friend in question writes the most beautiful love poetry I have ever read.  Today I read a poem of his that was about his relationship with his parents.  As I read it I wanted to cry.  I would give you this poem to read my friends, but I want him to stay anonymous and I don't want to share what isn't mine.  That is not the point, however.  The point is, I find it amazing how one person's words can touch someone so deeply.  I posted one of my very amateur poems a few weeks ago and I know very well that it will reach few, if anyone.  Because of a few friends of mine, I have a new goal.  From now on when I have a strong emotion or a meaningful event happen to me in my day to day life, I will write a short poem that describes that moment in my life.  My hope is that one day soon I will be able to look back and say, "hey, that was a defining moment and I'm glad that writing about it got me to where I am now."
As you can see I am pretty hopeful.  In the end it doesn't matter what I say here.  I am doing my best to live my life with fulfillment and gloriousness.   (Yes I realize 'gloriousness' is not a word.)  Recently it has been tough to do, but I will keep doing it because I know that it will help me figure out who the heck I am, and maybe in the process some of you will find a new you that wasn't even a glimmer before.
Well my wonderful readers, thank you for sticking with me today.  I rambled a little, but don't I always?  :)
Read some poetry, friends, and live life gloriously.
Maria
