This is so true. I wish I felt comfortable enough with someone, ANYONE, to let them see into my heart. I am very laid back and tolerate of others’ differences and ‘uniqueness’ because that is how I wish people were with me.
Snow Limerick February 13, 2014
There once was a snow storm in the south
It hit us like a punch in the mouth
We bought milk and bread
then hunkered down in bed
awaiting the thaw of the south.
Head and Heart November 23, 2013
my head is full
of past mistakes
things left unsaid
words spewed in anger
and deeds I’d rather forget.
my heart is full
of unrequited love
wounds self-inflicted
slights large and small
and love I’ll never regret.
Joy November 12, 2013
I could use some joy right now. I just keep reminding myself of all the good I have in my life.
Bohemian Song October 27, 2013
Here I am
in the October sun
Not looking for love
just looking for fun
~
A nomad at heart
I don’t stay around long
I put miles behind me
with a bohemian song
~
Drinking a beer
hat pulled way down low
It’s not even five
but I’m itching to go
~
A nomad at heart
I don’t stay around long
I put miles behind me
with a bohemian song
~
No chains to hold me
no people in my way
I go where the wind blows
never will I stay
~
A nomad at heart
I don’t stay around long
I put miles behind me
with a bohemian song
~
This life is for me
I like it better this way
I see what I want
something different each day
~
A nomad at heart
I don’t stay around long
I put miles behind me
with a bohemian song
~
I put miles behind me
with a bohemian song.
Close to Perfection
Yesterday was magical. It was as close to a perfect day as you could ever desire. If you read my post yesterday, you know it began with coffee and quiet reflection before the sun rose. I then fell back asleep, which I guess I needed. I had peaceful dreams and awoke feeling refreshed. I did a quick house cleaning and washed a few clothes. (So, okay, in a perfect world those things wouldn’t need to be done, but I did say it was CLOSE to perfect.)
I spent the rest of the morning and afternoon painting. I put Pandora Radio on my Kindle and listened to The Tallest Man on Earth, Gordon Lightfoot, Incubus, Mumford and Sons, Fun., Blind Melon, and many others, old and new. The air was cold, but I painted on my back porch anyway. I love a crisp fall day! While painting, I used textures for the first time. I love the look of a textured painting, but I’ve never tried it. It turned out pretty good for my first try. It didn’t even bother me that hubs didn’t like it; I know he is not crazy about a lot of my art, but he is supportive about it. I really like it, and someone already asked to buy it!
As I was winding down my painting, I started a big pot of homemade chili and sent a text to my daughters and daughter in law (What do you call your gay daughter’s significant other? Not sure about that.) inviting them over. I set the chairs up around the fire pit and we had a few beers while eating delicious chili. The night air was cold, but the warmth of the fire kept us toasty.
This is what life is all about.
