Another day...

)

In Trust

Here we all are

Or were

With our hearts in your hands

Trusting

You would handle them

With wisdom

And love

With compassion

And kindness

How many of us

Have snatched them back

Before they were crushed

Completely

With thoughtlessness

And cruelty

With selfishness

And disregard

How many of us

Were left

With next to nothing

To rebuild

On our own

So we could trust again

So we could love again

So we could smile again

How many?

Just feels right now

Music Moment

Sometimes

Sometimes
I feel overwhelmed
Unmotivated
Lazy (not in a relaxing way)
Angry
Anxious
Hopeless
When I look around my house
At all that I have
And all that I do not have
At all that is there
All that was left

But
Not this morning

This morning
I feel grateful
I have the energy to clean
Wash dishes
Fold (and put away) laundry
Clean-up after the children
Make lunches
Balance my budget
Complete work from home assignments
Clean-up after the pets
And the time to blog
Shower
Drink some tea
Read

Sometimes
It is just a state of mind
But mainly
It's a matter of time
And
Of course
Energy

I am just so thankful
For this morning
When I have all three

Putting into words

the ramblings of my mind
at 2:20 a.m.
is not the easiest task
nor
is it particularly
the smartest

but
of all the stupid things
i've done
in my life
i'd say
this
is pretty low
on the list

so here we are again
blank page
having words

you give me so much
and I always question
what I have
to give back

i do love
a good blank page
it represents
everything wonderful
about life
pure potential
emptiness
completeness

blank pages
call to me
and I love to answer
in long
rambling
reflective (self-absorbed?)
groupings of letters
words
keystrokes
brush strokes
lines
curves
...
did I mention rambling?

i have a sleeping baby
by my side
he was not sleeping
when i was sleepy
now I am awake
and he is precious (aka, asleep)

i wonder
if some part of me
is actually asleep
right
now

i am happy
and in love
with my children
and my life
and my strength
which runs deeper
than I ever
could have imagined

not
to toot my own horn
or anything
but i've come
a really long way
a really
really
really
long way

granted
it's taken
my whole life
but
at least
i'm headed
in the right
direction

i should try and sleep now.
goodnight.
