"I Believe in You!" A message of hope, stories from the road By Bob Perks **************************************************** Hello, my friend! Thanks to all of you who took the time to send e-cards, notes and snail mail? filled with birthday wishes.? It was an awesome day. Love all ways and always, Bob and Marianne ? ***************************************************** ? Perks Pearl of Wisdom "The lesson learned the hard way stays with you forever"?

All stories copyright 2005 Bob Perks Today's Message: "Words Lost" by Bob Perks Maybe this was the real message.? Maybe what I wrote before this was written for an audience of one...me.? No one else needed to read those words but me. I just wrote an entire story for you and lost it.? Every
single word.? ? I was editing the piece and suddenly it was gone.? It had a great message, I thought.? I even wrote a poem.? Now it is gone.? Lost words. It's not the first time it has happened.? I've been doing this long enough to have made all kinds of mistakes.? But before I would get angry.? I would scream and shout and fuss.? It never brought the words back.? They were lost, gone and forgotten.? Oh, bits and pieces danced through my mind, but they didn't all fit together. What was this story about? It was a story about the perfect day.? This day.? Today.? Then I lost it. How odd.? I wrote a story about a perfect day and then lost it.? How perfect is that? This time it was different.? I didn't blink an eye.? I sat up in my chair and smiled. Perfectly. It was then that I realized that I hadn't lost a thing.? The greater story was in the fact that I lost the words.?
It made me think about how many times I was going to say something and didn't.? I thought about all the times I wanted to tell someone how important they were and didn't.? I remembered moments when I thought a kind word would make a difference in a stranger's life and I didn't say it. Lost words. Like not saying "I love you!" when you should.? Or "Thank you!," "You did a great job!,"? "I believe in you!,"? "I need you!,"? "I forgive you!,"? or "Please forgive me!" Lost words never spoken. Yes, I spent more than an hour writing a story, making words rhyme, changing, editing the words and they were lost in a second. It was a perfect day anyway.? I lost words and found a better way to live. ? "I believe in you!" Bob Perks ? copyright 2005 Bob Perks?
