Closing

I'm almost finished
and as I near the end
I move more slowly
savor the words, thoughts, feelings
I had once
full of intense
hurt, heartbreak, joy, thrill.
My fingers delicately
brush the last pages
as they float on air.
I don't want to close the story
but I will
because starting over won't be
as good as the first time
... and I already know the ending.

Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine

Finally

Waking up to coffee time
Family sitting down to dine
Sipping on a little wine
finally...

Venturing out to stare at art
Painting pictures, eating tarts
Finishing projects that I start
finally...

Tucking kids into bed
Talking, laughing, playing instead
Having nothing in my head
finally...

Daydreaming about what I please
Taking a jog among the trees
Lunching with friends in such ease
finally...


Laying out to soak up sun
Writing, thinking, processing done
Enjoying time to have some fun

Finally.

Piece of Mind

The best advice I ever loan't
was Stop. Wait. Think. Don't.

Colors

I'm feeling a little blue rather than my typical orange today.

Seriously funny

It's hard being funny. People don't know when to take you seriously.
