Everyone!
I hope everyone is enjoying this day with their mother or you are a mother or soon to be mother.
I know that some of you mothers may no longer be here and today will be sad for you but, just keep the love she shared with you while she was here bright and strong in your hearts today.
I hope everyone has a blessed day and enjoy the little bit of relax you may receive today.

You knew something was going on when she just had a sudden change of her mind.
You had known her for a long time and her barely ever changed her mind.
She was stubborn that way and always that if she couldn’t decide then it wasn’t meant to be.
She was always thought long and hard before letting anyone know her secrets and announcements.

could be anywhere and yet you are here staring at me as if all the words you have to say can be translated through eye contact.
I understand what you are pending with me and I’m here to help you in any way that I can.
I know that lately things have seem so distanced between us and I don’t like the space that has grown in the space where there used to not be there.
You always knew my words and now it’s like I barely know yours and yet here we are staring at each other hoping that the message gets to where it needs to get to before it’s too late.
Your touch always told me right away what you needed to feel or hear and no amount of time could make me not feel this way.

Walking in the forest where I feel safe and surrounded by the nature that I love
hearing all the birds chirping and the wind blowing around me.
As leaves rustle around my feet as I walk on this old path many have traveled on before, I feel so calm and at one with my life right now.
I walk alone trying to clear my mind and find the hope that today is just a one day option for me.
I need this peace more than I need the air around me to breathe because, what’s the point of breathing when all I feel is misery and tired.
I want and need to live this life full with the hope that everyday will be different and maybe it will be but not on their time.
This forest is where I can truly be me and just stand in the feeling of peace and happiness and take it all in on my own time and suck it all up until I know I’m full on it.

lately things have not seem fair and maybe that’s why you’re so mad for you need more and now life is more of a struggle for you.
You want to help out but what are you really offering right now that would have you being someone we would truly stop and say wow they do so much and deserve so much more.
You want to feel sorry but you realize right now they already laid in the bed they have built for themselves.
For somewhere in their mind they have done so much and now they realize they have not done anything that could make them more noticeable but, yet they expect more to change for them.
You keep your mouth shut because you kind of know why things are not working out and you don’t eve n want to say anything because at the end of the day it is not your responsibilities to worry about what someone else may or may not end up getting.
For if you fight so much for others, who will fight for you in the end.
Because, once you miss that door it may be the last time you get such an amazing offer thrown your way.

You’ll find full guidelines on the TLT page – here’s the tl;dr:
Lost in the colors and how tall the rocks are that everything in life that has been black and white just don’t compare to these bright colors that make me happy and at peace.
This trip was something I needed so badly, to be out in the middle of nowhere and just stare at the simple things in life and not stressing over the things that seem to be out of my control no matter what.
I know that this trip will be the last bit of relaxation for me for a while and I’m grateful that I could make this trip with you for who knows where time will push us next.

The laughter coming from the back of the store could be heard from the front door and it made you just happy to hear someone having a good moment in there long work day.
You begin to think that without laughter things would be so much more stressful and less enjoyable.
Because, laughter can burn away all the things that make you feel like you just can’t wait for this day to be over.
You work so hard but you realize what were you thinking when you decided to go this way.
Your laugher is so much harder to find and all you hear is a harsh voice coming from you and you wonder what happen to that happy laughing girl.
The past you was so close to that laugher that now you sometimes you don’t know how to react because laughter hasn’t been apart of your life for a very long time.

100 Word Wednesday: Week 70

So many stories that are being told on those shelf’s and I’ve read them all and yet I need to read more to understand so much more about this thing called life.
It’s funny how when you get lost in a book that you are not thinking about learning anything in this book just wanting to get your mind off your troubles.
You start to grab at each word and connect to almost all the characters because someone has to have been through what you went through in your lifetime.

is this ache is inside of me that only comes when life seem to slow down and I start to see the things that are missing from my life.
Sometimes the ache is bearable and other times I wonder how things turned out this way.
I know that I hoped for so much more from this life that I am living and well I know it’s probably possible.
I know that if I choose to do it my way how can I later on regret it when I made the decision to go down the path I knew was not for me.
The things that make me wonder why I have to take this verbal abuse when I’ve done no wrong towards this person.
These are the things that I have to live with for I am seen small like an ant something that can be easily ruined and made to disappear.
These times of suffering do not end as everyone goes to sleep and the hope of something new to come my way and make things better.
The situation is no something that fades for a time being it is always there lurking in the shadows waiting for the perfect time to strike and knock you down hard.
There is little hope that things will get better over time all one can do is pray that this demon will be banished from their life so only the good can stick around.

The things in my life were changing faster than I could get things together.
Everything that I had dreamed of seem to be fading way each time I blinked an eye
the answers that I had been looking for were nowhere to be found.
I had hope things will be going towards less stressful days and yet somehow I was not looking forward to the things that were leading up to the life that I was living right now.
I had chosen this path thinking it was better than the one that I was on and, yes I wouldn’t go back to the one before but I so badly want to get off of this one.
I have to find a way out of this maze that is my life and cut back on all the darkness that is flooding into my life.
I barely see the good in people anymore for I see so much ugly and no care in the world.
