Strength Is

Weakness Is... 

Stagnation,

Excuses, 

My wants before others needs,

Isolation,

Not Crying, 

Not Feeling,

Not Expressing anger, love, joy,

Living the addictions,

Not asking for help,

Inaction,

Not living life to the fullest.

Strength Is

Getting up and moving forward,

Accountability to myself and others,

Doing the best for others,

Taking care of my needs - not wants - first

Knowing when to ask for help and then asking!

Crying,

Feeling,

Expressing anger, love, joy,

Conquering addictions,

Action!

Living! Breathing, Loving...

     Beginning with myself!

Writing

What it is about a blank sheet of crisp paper and a pencil that beguiles and excites me to write?

 Pens won't do...to permanent.

Crayons won't do...too thick and cumbersome.

Only pencil to paper draws me in to create, move, explore, escape, teach, love, grow.

Morning Musings

The inky darkness studded with muted light from distant worlds greeted me as I began my day. What joy to just drink it in, however briefly!

Breathe

Breathe.
The stress melts away.
Breathe.
The tension is no more.
Breathe.
Focus - each breath is one of joy.
Breathe.
Brings me back to "now", not tomorrow, not yesterday, now!
Breathe
in the energy!
Breathe.
in the joy! 
Breathe
and smile!
Breathe.

My Words Are Worthy!

4/13/12
I have finally realized that whatever I write here is special.  My words are worthy!  Why save the beautifully bound books of "some day"?  Blank p0ages are just a new beginning waiting to be written!
