I am Open

{Post: 340/365}

all I have

is a heart

a mind

and my soul

to give

and I am willing

to offer my all

to share my essence

my spirit

my thoughts

and feelings

my hopes

and dreams

I am willing

to open

and share

whatever I am

with you

Foul as %&#@!

{Post: 339/365}

there are days

when you seem

to wake up

on the wrong side

of the bed

tired and irascible

everything goes from 

bad to bad

and worse to worse

out of anything good to eat

you eat crappy things

and your mood gets worse

until finally 

something positive happens 

to lighten your mood

and you finally eat something 

hoping to get back on track

have a nap to catch up on sleep

and THEN

wake up with an upset tummy

no better an attitude

heartburn

and the knowledge that you need things

and can't afford them

and your mood goes

fouler than foul

so you started out foul as %&#@

and ended up 

NOT even remotely

thinking that is FUNNY

at all!!!!!!!

Sometimes

{Post: 338/365}

sometimes
I don't know
where to find
the faith
the belief
in myself
or in anything else
really
it is not
my nature
to be positive
I am a
melancholy soul
but I try
to find the silver lining
and see the light
and the positive
and keep moving forward
even when it is hard
sometimes

Keep On

{Post: 337/365}

finding a purpose

finding a reason

to fight

to carry on

to move forward

to keep going

to breath

to live

to keep trying

NOT to give up

NOT to lie down and die

is some days

very easy

and some days

nonexistent

and all i can do

is hope that the darkness

will subside again

and the purpose

and the reason

will find another way

to shine

and remind me

to keep on

keeping on

Fun and Functional

crocheted

with love

it is not quite as good

as the real deal

but the point

is to share

a reminder

of something you love

in combination with

something you can use

and I hope 

it will be 

appreciated

if not as much as the 

edible one

sesame seed bun

hamburger patty

slice of cheese

lettuce

tomato

and red onion

coasters

fun and functional

I Can!

{Post: 335/365}

I love it

when I begin

a challenge

or something new

and I make myself 

sick with worry

and THEN

it turns out just as well

as I expected

or even better

because I AM

capable and talented

and able to handle

ANYTHING

that life can throw at me

I CAN!!

Smile

{Post: 334/365}

after I

get past the

silly nervousness

of talking to you

for the first time

in a long time

I remember

how happy it makes me

I like the sound 

of your voice

your laughter

and I could 

listen to you talking

for hours

because it just 

makes me smile

:) :) happy smiles :) :)
