It's a New Year

{Post: 365/365}

last post of the year

and I am both

proud

and a little sad

I will write more poetry

but not under such a 

demand and pressure

I know that I didn't manage

to write ONE every day

but I DID manage to write

365 poems in a year

and THAT

is an accomplishment

I am proud of myself

they may not all have been good

but they helped me

improve

my thoughts

my expression

my word play

and more

and I am sad

to leave the challenge

behind

and yet

I move on 

to bigger and better things

it is a new year

and a new day

for new challenges

welcome 2013

I look forward to your

challenges

Nine in a Day

{Post: 189/365}

woopedy doo

the girl can write

foolishness

and more

in a day

in a few hours

of focus

she can

whip up

nine poems

and likely more

but wishes not to challenge herself

that way again

being behind

causes more work!

and I prefer the time

to create

ONE

very good expression

of something

rather than

a bunch of

foolishness

LOL

New Challenge

{Post 168/365: Original Post: SuckstoBeMe}

Well, the thing I have been dreading has finally happened. 
I will be starting to take insulin as soon as I can make an appt with the Dr. and get him to write my prescription for the pen. :( 
I am also showing at 27 and in Stage 4 which disturbs me a little. No matter how much I wish it, it seems there is no stopping the progression of the disease. It is slowly going down hill. For the longest time I was right on the line between Stage 3 and Stage 4 and I was hopeful I could stay there a long time. 
It is difficult to do all the things I have to do. Eat right, exercise, be positive, keep trying, keep moving forward, not give up, not give in. 
Don't drink. 
Don't do this, don't do that. Bahhhhhhhhhhhh! 
Maybe one good thing is it will be a 24 hour insulin so I will only have to inject myself once a day. I hope it helps. 
I'm feeling sad today. :(
