are running through me right now
as it becomes so dark outside and everyone gets ready to sleep or are already asleep.
You try to move forward and get ready to do the same.
But you some how can’t move from this spot as you feel the coldness coming all over you and yet still you sit in the same spot for just a little longer.
You want to find the peace from sleeping but, yet you stay up as if you don’t have something to do tomorrow that needs to be done.

again as the white snow falls all around me
for I have peace again and the feeling just feels so right.
It is cold out and as much as I dislike being cold right now
the cold is numbing out the things that make me sad and is bring forth the memories of spending time in the snow and how happy that made me.
The precious snow and the precious time I have and how when I walk back inside that happiness may just disappear but in this moment I will remember the joy I felt inside and felt on my face as I just smiled.

always stood out in the middle of the crowd with no doubt in my mind that you could overcome so much.
I admire you for always standing your ground even when the people you were standing up to didn’t deserve your patience or time.
You always seemed to be able to sense what was to come and you never gave up on the things you knew would carry you to the end.
Sometimes you said you didn’t like all the attention for it just was annoying when the wrong crowd would look at you and judge you without knowing who you were on the inside.
You are beautiful and unique and even though the world can see that they sometimes forget that you are so much more than that, if only they took the time to get to know you.

a cold day that lead to a day of snow and staying inside.
 With no worry about having to go anywhere because yesterday was all about stocking up and relaxing afterwards.
Today is a day of new possibilities all from the comfort of ones home and you have no care to go out.
Besides cleaning off the car and sidewalks and then back inside the warm house you go where all you want to do is drink hot things and eat hot or warm things and simple not worry about the things to come this week.
This day is all about not freaking out or stressing out and to finally take your life back into your own hands.
And it feels good and you are trying so hard not to let doubt in for that really takes the fun and determination right out the window.
Today is going to be a good day because you said it was going to be and you do believe it will be.
So don’t let today get away from you because we all know tomorrow is not promised.

the way for me and if you do will I follow
or will I ignore the light and go the other way.
Will I forever be lost because I chose to go my way and ignore the things you clearly say
I need to do.
I want to listen and go towards the light for I know the story will end with better turns and twist.
For it’s always the light I wake up to and the dark I go to sleep in.
how long will this light shine for me, even when I sometimes choose the darkness for I’m to curious to walk away.

Week 154 of Three Line Tales.

As a child the simple act of jumping to rock to rock with nothing but joy on our minds and nothing in the world was able to touch you at these times.
You laughed and you felt full with joy and happiness and it was just you and your best friend every step of the way.
You didn’t have to worry about who had your back for you knew he always would and now as adults the joy is still there but so is the sadness.

Storm here you come to make an already cold day colder and wetter than before, I don’t know if you care but we don’t want this storm or need it either.
We hope it just quickly ends and we can move on to spring for we got the cold weather and have got through those days.
Now we don’t want to think about snow and how much it may cost us in the long haul, all I want to do is not worry about the things I can’t control but for now I will just do what needs to be done and go out into the storm.

chocolate and marshmallows always makes a cold day worth it.
But, the feeling of enjoyment is limited and shorten to a point.
The days seem longer as you drag along the way just hoping this feeling of being under weather will end soon.
So you can enjoy the moments around you so much more as this new year has so much to offer you now and you don’t want to miss out on a chance to change all that is around you.
You want the life you have now to be smooth and delicious like the hot chocolate you are drinking now.
