It’s that time of year

where secrets are being kept and everyone around you is trying to figure out what they got for Christmas. 

Little kids are writing letters to Santa and hoping they get what their little heart desires and the joy is all around and you can’t seem to stop smiling about everything you see. 

From Christmas lights to families going out to do their Christmas tree shopping and other family traditions. 

Everyone is in such a good mood rather it’s about what they have still to look forward too or the time they have off to send with their family and friends. 

This time of year can bring out so much joy and memories and even some sadness but we always seem to come together and help out one another for the kindness and caring heart is really stepping up. 

Days seem longer but there always seems like there are more joyful moments to experience. 

You walk away with a smile on your face and you are grateful for the small things that happened throughout your day.

So silent this night was as I sat down to read a good book

hours went by and I didn’t even notice and the story sucked me in and then

I was at the end.

I wanted more but the next book wasn’t coming out soon enough and my mind was now full of such an amazing story and I just couldn’t stop thinking about how well written it was.

I move on to a new book but every now and then I check back to see if the next book is out.

Silent moments are hard to come by but when they come it’s as peaceful as a good night sleep.

Even though it seemed to be the most wonderful time of the year from some 

the countdown to the Christmas wasn’t really something she worried about for it just another big and wonderful day for everyone else. 

But, for her this time of year was slowly miserable and no joy really came her way 

it always seemed just when her luck would go up something bad would happen and the hope that started to grow inside of her.

Quickly burned out and there was nothing left to see or feel, with no one around to help her find her way back to that hope. 

She didn’t look at the world the way she used too and everyone around her was too busy trying to hold on to the hope they had that they didn’t even notice the difference in her.

I’m not sure what that is coming towards me but, I can’t seem to run away right now even if I feel that would be the best thing to do.

I want to be brave  and stand my guard but, I feel like the outcome of this moment may not be a good thing for me.

But, if I don’t take the risk I may not ever know the outcome so here goes nothing, I just hope I come out of this alive.

He felt it was his birthright to take over the family business and he knew that he would be great at it because he was just like his dad.

He worked hard and he didn’t do much other than work and keep his mind on what would be a great new product and opportunity for the business.

What he didn’t see was that his father wanted more for him and wanted him to have love and truly see what the world has to offer outside the doors of their business.

He didn’t want to be distracted by love and all the emotions he could feel with falling for someone.

But, he knew in order to take over the business, he would have to take this time off and enjoy what life may offer him for the next year.

His father hoped he would loosen up and just enjoy life and not rush through it and just pause here and there.

He hoped he would laugh more and smile at the simple things in life and not just turn away because he had no time for emotions.

100 Word Wednesday: Week 49

Photo by John Luke Laube

I never thought this day would come as I packed my bags and headed to the airport to catch my flight home for the holidays.

I knew that after a long week at work that I would need this trip so bad and this drink definitely was the icing on the cake.

By the time I get there I will be so relaxed and ready to have a good time and just be around people who make me feel at home even if it’s just for a couple of days.

Daily Prompt: Theory

Sometimes our theories of stuff don’t come true or turn out the way we thought it would.

And, sometimes being the person to admit that we were wrong just doesn’t happen and do we feel quilt about it maybe not.

But, I wish you would just start with the truth and move on to what has to be done for right now the situation isn’t getting any better.

And, the way you are acting is making somethings be more likely to not take the time to test it out and make sure the problem whether big or small you will get through it.

Daily Prompt: Elegance

Your elegant dress really made it hard to forget what you wore that night

the color was so bright and yet such a nice dark blue it really brought out your eyes.

You were so confident and for  the first time I saw you for who you were, a girl who just wanted to be seen and finally you were.

But, you decided long time ago that others opinions about you didn’t matter anymore and you were no longer that little girl.

You grew up and you became more than you thought you could be and for all the moments that you were torn down you now know it was worth the struggle.

So elegant you became from the rough and tough little girl.
