On

the road is where I want to be just exploring and taking lots of photo’s

and just letting go.

I know that lately the cold weather has prolonged this trip but, it’s now or never

I must not worry about all the things being left behind but force on the things that are yet to come.

This is my time and I won’t let it be pasted up again, it’s time to say more goodbyes then see you tomorrow.

It’s time to truly feel like the path that you are on is the path you would want to be on no matter what the changes are you can handle it and you can live with it too.

everything that is yet to come

I am here waiting to walk into something great or to fight for something worth it.

For today is not all that I hope for when I wake every morning.

To knowing things can change if I put a positive spin to it and accept that not everything is going to be perfect.

For I know that I will go through a lot but I shouldn’t let that pull me completely down at the end of the day when my pockets are tight and the things that need to be done are just not happening quick enough for me right now.

I

stand for so much more than the girl you see in the window each day.

I am more than the woman you see at work.

The woman you see outside of work.

The woman you see standing in the rain.

The woman fighting the storms as they come from each direction in her life.

More than the woman who plays victim far too long.

To the woman who works so hard that retirement comes so much sooner for her.

To the woman who is always alone but not truly alone.

To the woman who sees there is more to this life she is living right now yet, she is still searching for more answers along the way.

There

was always just one way to you and as I drove away from it that day I knew it would hurt and the amount of time it would take to get away would be so long.

Days and nights I thought of that road and how much I should just go back and be on that road on my way to you.

But, then the truth of that gray sky day comes back to me and I realize that you said those words without me pushing you to them.

You were the one who told me I was bother out there and staying on this road would do nothing for me and in the end I would resent you.

But, the truth was I resent you for sending me away not from saying staying would be a mistake.

For all I needed was for you to believe we could make it and maybe we would have but regret and resentment wouldn’t have been apart of her past or present or future that is to come.

Something

we are taught to do

but don’t always practice because we see something that makes us judge one another.

And as you wonder should you give this person a chance for they are sometimes really nasty and unfair.

They play the victim too much and in the end you suffer for their lies and mistakes.

So you begin to question should I do what my God says for I am not in her shoes and it is best to love and accept that how she behaves shouldn’t change your beliefs.

To love her or him even when you know not what they may do next to you or the good people around you is the right thing to do and you should just let it be.

You are not the one she will answer to and you have said your words now just fall back and let God take the lead.

I know

that when I open my eyes the quite and peaceful thoughts are not going to stay around.

When negativity can be around the corner at every turn I make.

Even though I know a bad moment can appear so quickly, I know that it’s just a moment it’s over before I know it.

So with my eyes close I allow the moment to pass so that this bad moment doesn’t turn into a bad day or a bad week.

I’m hoping all is well when my eyes open up and see the world and what it has to offer me next.

how I needed to see this beautiful pink sky with a rainbow shining so brightly.

For lately things have been a little to down for me.

All I wanted to do was smile and laugh and be at ease when it comes to the life that I live and to not worry or wonder what will become of me after yesterday.

Today is a new day and it feels like I have been blessed with a new mindset that blows away all the things that have driven me mad or made me so frustrated.

The time to sit back and let things pass me by is gone and for that I want to see more rainbows in my life.

For the light is so much more easier to navigate through the storms then if I just let the darkness win in the end.

Letting

go of winter and letting spring in as the days  get warmer and the layers start to fall off.

To be able to breathe in the fresh air and to feel the warmth from the sun on my skin.

I know the warmth comes with many rainy days but just to have one nice day is all that I am looking forward too now.

To be able to want to stay outside longer than five minutes if that is even bearable.

To fall and not worry about getting back up so quickly in fear you may get sick or freeze to death.

To just completely let everything around you just slow down and pause for a second or more and to truly be able to think through all you have been going through.

Three Line Tales, Week 164

photo by Danny G 

been a while since it’s just been us two alone in this moment of just driving down the road in search of a new location.

A new view to look out and in these moments be grateful that our love is still holding on for there have been times when we just couldn’t see eye to eye.

And in those moments I was scared and just not looking forward to an end of us but we came through the storm stronger than ever and that’s all that counts.

is our time together and it feels like it’s took so long for it to happen but, now that it is here I am quietly embracing the joy that I feel inside at this moment.

I know that we may sit here for a while and embrace the fact that this time won’t happen again for a long time but, we know that our love and bond won’t go away.

Even when we go away from this place I know that there will be more trips and moments for us to come a long.
