All week long I have seen the sign of springs simple pleasures trying to burst forth out of the cold, frozen tundra of dirt. Tulips are starting to peek through. Crocus's are reaching out. Ready to pop open in an array of bright colors. Just being outside in temperatures greater than 60 is a simple pleasure.
While Charlie the dog is conducting her business and bonding with Mother Nature, I am also enjoying the change outside. I am looking beyond the boundaries of the yard. I see life beginning to come out from old man winters coat.
I'm hearing familiar sounds that spring is almost here. The sounds of Robins singing. Bees warming their wings. Flapping the last effects of the winter chill.
The smell outside is fresh, clean.....my nostrils flare wide open as I snort the air that is beginning to smell like Mother Earth....awwww, spring time in the mountain west is awesome indeed.
Simple pleasures are different for everyone. 1 f Jef is a simple pleasure, and so is my dog. 1 f Jef is enjoying simple pleasures..........being single, running a thriving company, and being with family and friends. What's wrong with 1 f Jef enjoying life's simple pleasures? Nothing at all.
You have a fan base that is amazing. A fan base that supports you, loves you, admires you. And, you have another fan base that believes everything above, but also would like to rip you a new orifice. I have to be honest. I thought I could really open my mind up, let loose, and tear you a new one, too. But I can't. Why? Because there is absolutely nothing wrong with what you are doing. I have to stay true to who I write about and that's 1 f Jef, the founder of People Water. You are not the playboy, casanova, party hardy doll face that everyone thinks you are. You are simply, enjoying life as you see it. No explanations are needed on your actions as you are doing what any normal male would. You've enjoyed family time, bro time with a good friend, and you've continued with more family time on a beach, soaking up the rays, enjoying good music and maybe tipping back a few brews. Life's simple pleasures. Time away from the maddening crowd can do wonders.
I admit lately that you have had me at a loss for words. Speechless at times. Dumbfounded. Stuck in the middle of some black hole that had me struggling. I wanted very badly to throw in the towel. Give up. Quit. And, never look back. Leave you trying to get back up the hill after you've hit rock bottom in your love life. But, I can't do it. I am not your #1 fan. I am just a small speck of a person who cares about you, along with a group of friends that support what I do. Me writing about a good person, with a good cause, and has a good heart, because I can write it like I see's it!!! I write my feelings, but they are actually their's, too. We just happen to be on the same wave length. I occasionally will pick up the old tin can with the string attached, hold it up to my ear, and listen to the conversations out there about you, 1 f Jef. I read what's posted. Some of your fans tend to still be stuck in their own black hole. They choose to hide behind locked forums and closed minds. I do hear about some of the negative crap discussed. I won't bend and tell everyone out in this world that you are a bad person. Because, 1 f Jef, you are not. You might be a bit lost at the moment, but you are not a bad person. You are what you are. A simple pleasure of my life and many others, who know what is important and what is not. Idle gossip is not important. That is not a simple pleasure in life, even though it can make for lively conversation.
Just sayin'........that's all. Just sayin' that trying to stay positive can be hard. I will prevail and stay positive for you 1 f Jef..........Just sayin'..........simple pleasures are a gift.
Pictures speak louder than words. It can bring joy and pleasure to not only the person taking the pictures, but to those who view them. I love photography. I love looking at beautiful pictures. And, I love taking pictures. What I haven't seen lately, are pictures or proof of the pudding that 1 f Jef is the party hardy playboy everyone makes him out to be. All I have seen are words written by smitten college girls that will write anything to cause a stir and make their BFF's jealous because they were there, they saw 1 f Jef, and their friends didn't. I was in their shoes at one time and a bit of embellishment I'm sure spewed out of my mouth on occasion. It's natural when you are around stars brighter than heaven to make that memory last. But they are just empty words. Pictures all in black.
Last week was filled with memories. You shared with us your thoughts on how you felt to be the Catherine on your season. I think someone still cares very much about his "everything". You brought a glimmer of hope to us. That picture spoke love. A love that so many people wish they could duplicate in their life. It's hard to let go of someone you love with your heart and soul. You showed us that you really are human and not a figment of our imagination. I hope that you can see Sean and Catherine as a fine example that love can and will survive, even though it was found in an unconventional way. You found it and Emily found it this way. Go after each other, you two. Meet in the middle or better yet, climb the ladder and rescue her. Whisk her off to a remote island. Anything. Both of you, please quit swallowing the bitter pills. It has a bad after taste.
I've grown accustomed to 1 f Jef's smile, his baby blue eyes, that will never fail me, to want to reach out and just hug him like a child would a teddy bear. That big squeeze feeling that makes you warm all over. A simple, but very real pleasure.
My friends, old and new, are all wonderful simple pleasures that I will cherish forever. My family, even though they try my patience, are also my simple pleasures in life and one that I will never take for granted. Simple pleasures do not have to be complicated and you've shown me that. Simple pleasures are enjoying the life you have now, and not worry about what will take place tomorrow.
Holy shit this is getting deep....good god, it's time to watch you stroll on a beach in Curacao, with no shirt on..............where is that 1 f Jef and what have you done with him? Come back to us.........
Life is beautiful when you open your eyes.
