My strategy is to get out here as fast as I can for right now the thought of spending another moment in this place is just not thinkable.
I want to be free with a plan of fun things to come and no more stress and worry to overwhelm me right now.
The plan is still unknown to me but maybe one day soon I will get to know the plan that will grow my life to a new level than it is at right now.

in one day happens without one knowing and so the frown you have worn
could be turned upside down.
And you begin to smile and laugh and the miserable day you knew you would have turned in to a like pleasant day full of joy.
You take what you can get and you don’t try to ask for much at the end of the day.
You start to look forward to the little surprises that happen throughout your day, for they begin to be the only little things you look forward too now.

Free Flow Friday with Laura
Stuck on what to write you should check out free flow Friday by clicking on this link: Free Flow Friday!
Captive by your words as I sit down and read a good book and completely zone out as I get sucked in to each page.
As the story unfolds right in front of my eyes I just can’t look away and when I get to the last couple of pages.
I just can’t put it down until I know what has happened and how it ended and then I can go to sleep and wake up and wait around for the next book in the series to come out.
And while I wait I fall into another book and read that one until my reading obsession is satisfied.
Like handcuffs once I am locked in to a new book that is so good it’s hard to let go and get out of a story so captivating it stays with months later.

Everyone wants to broaden their horizon and get out there and experience so much more than what they may or may not be offered.
You want to see and feel the beauty of the world that is beyond your neighborhood and town.
You want to take pictures of many things and be in the pictures as well.
Your so interesting in so many things that money can’t hold you back because you know that you are running out of time.

Tennis a game I use to have to play back in my middle school days, one of the many sports we had to learn.
I enjoyed my time on the court playing a round with one of my classmates and I liked to win and move on to play the next person.
But, sports weren’t for me and in the end the game stayed with gym class as I moved on to other things that grabbed my attention and never let go.

In a blink of an eye things can turn from good to bad.
In a blink of an eye the dream job you wanted to have as a child could come true and you could be living the life you always wanted.
In a blink of an eye the things that you thought really matter doesn’t matter anymore for you found out the truth.
In a blink of an eye the person that was so sweet and kind to you could turn so bitter and rude.
In a blink of an eye everything that was always the same yesterday could be totally different the next day or week.
In a blink of an eye you could be gone
In a blink of an eye you could make a difference for someone who thought that life just couldn’t get any better for them.
In a blink of an eye you could change it all but, the real question is would you want to?

moment I stand alone but not truly alone for my god is always by my side.
Even when I think I shouldn’t be standing anymore because the world wants to knock me down and step all over me like trash that has been forgotten.
The hate and anger are so strong but, yet I stand in a bubble full of love and laughter and even on the hardest days somehow I get through it with minor scratches.
I know what’s protecting me and yet the evil in this world keeps flying at me and even with the greatest protection out there some get in but what hits me.
Just makes me stronger and even when I just truly want to give up and let them win something always pushes back and shows me giving up isn’t what I need to do.
The storm hits and I hit back and though it all there is always a way out that brings me into the light and darkness goes away for a while to fight back another day or week.
And in that moment I am at peace and I feel safe and the things that eat me up inside just disappear and the joy is all around.
The nasty words fall faster than they can be heard and the music is blasting at high volume until the noise is all blocked out and the mind is clear of the doubt and stress.

I’m more shocked that the same stuff still surprises me when it comes to you because the same stuff is still happening.
So when it happens again why do I act like it’s the first time you done dumb shit like this before.
The look on your face when I just shake my head and walk away doesn’t surprise me anymore and well next thing you know I’m not there to react anymore.
I’ve been shocked enough lately not to be surprised anymore that this is something you have not grown up from yet.
But, it won’t shock me if I get that same old text next week and well I hope you won’t be shocked when I don’t replied and block you well I am at it.

in the moment with you feels like a lifetime ago.
Now I’m caught up in everything going on around me and I start to wonder why do I even care about the things that don’t concern me.
But, the attitude that you give before I even open my mouth makes me feel like what has the world come to that you just be rude for no reason.
You come storming in with you attitude for who knows why but, the truth is I don’t care for well I’m just trying to do my job and my patience well it’s limited.
But, when it runs out the things that I want to say I keep it to myself because being mean and rude just well it’s not appreciated or appropriate.
I don’t need or want to get caught up in your nastiness for well life is just too short for all that attitude you got going on over there.
I just ain’t got time for the attitude the anger and anything else you want to throw at me for well I just don’t care enough to be caught up in a fight that is not worth fighting at the end of the day.
Like yesterday I can’t remember who pissed off who but if I saw your face I would remember who you are and I will let yesterday go but, I hope today you’re in a better mood.

She moved across the stage with so much grace and quickness
it was so amazing to watch you dance that night.
I could see the passion through your every move and the smile on your face showed how much you loved what you were doing.
The happiness radiated off of you even once the show was over and you ran to me and we talked excitedly about the show and couldn’t wait to just leave and catch up again.
