About this blog

In Toronto, there is a nightly news magazine called T.O. Night aimed at the commuter crowd. One of the
features that it contains is a section called Shout Out where readers can send a short message, rant, note...
to someone, or to anyone...

I started sending Shout Outs to the woman that I am in love with. Not all of them are published in
T.O. Night - and once the magazine is tossed, so too is the shout out...

Here are most of the shout outs that I have submitted - and some of my other writings to
The Lady on the Train...

If ever...

 To The Lady on the Train,

If ever you have one of those nights when sleep won't come and doubts and self recriminations run around in your head...

If you ever rise in a dark morning too tired to get up and too tired to stay in bed...

If when you swing your feet onto the floor dreading the day ahead yet relieved that the end of night is in sight...

If you are facing a day that seems too big and fraught with too many things that might go wrong...

And if when you look at the past you only see everything that might have been...

If when you look and all that you can see is all that you lack...

I hope that I am there to remind you that you are way more than you give yourself credit for.

I hope that I am there to remind you that there is no day but today.

I hope that I am there to remind you that however things are right now, they will surely change.

I hope that I am there to show you that all that you are, is amazing.

I hope that I am there to witness you take on the day with strength you forgot you had.

I hope that I am there for you.
