The day

is almost over

and yes it wasn’t that great.

But it is what it is at this point.

However, I’m looking forward to what the new year has to bring me for I know it will be bigger and better starting tomorrow and everyday on.

The time to spread my wings and take flight and leave the mess behind because at the end of the day nothing good will come if we don’t do what we can and in the end things will work themselves out on there own.

So good bye and night to one day that ends 2019 but opens up a door for 2020 and for so much to happen.

It’s the

Last day of the year

And I know most of it will be spent doing stuff I rather not do.

But I know I will get through it and enjoy the little bit of time I have left.

The cold is all around and everyone either trying not to get sick or sick.

Hopefully as we all gather together tonight we will look back and know we had some good times together.

And even though the storms there always was a rainbow waiting for us.

This day maybe be the last of one year but tomorrow will be the beginning of another and we will truly enjoy it.

For there will be ups and downs but in the end it will always be worth it.

Just something

Sweet to eat with you before everything gets busy again.

New changes coming and it’s time to get all done so there is time to relax and enjoy the little things in life.

Time to be together and not apart.

Time to look back and laugh and smile about all the things of the past.

But to look forward to what the future holds for me and us.

Today is just the beginning to something great.

What do

 You have to lose if you take that risk

 And make the leap you thought you couldn’t make.

And what if it comes all together just the way it should for you.

Maybe just maybe it’s time for you to shine and stand out among the crowd.

And you can finally let out all the things that have been bothering you.

For no old baggage in the new year when your looking forward to something great that will hopefully turn things around for you.

As the holiday

 Comes to a end

This is the time to look at all the decorations that have been given and hung to make the season feel so great.

So many of them bring a smile to your face as they hold a special place in your heart.

This season you love and cherish and when it’s over it’s a little sad.

But, life has to go on and there is always next year.

But in this moment this good mood and good spirit will carry on with you as the year comes to an end and new year begins.

To beat

the cold I had to put on my fur and have my lantern  guide the way as I travel back to my home on this almost dark night.

This winter has barely arrived and already it is cold and warm than back to cold and frankly I have had enough and I just want to cuddle up and not be bother with the cold air form outside.

But tonight I have to  acknowledge all that is going on around me for I have so much to look for and to look forward too.

For the winter has delivered me something to be grateful for.

Just another

day in the snow trying to make it to the car after walking through it all.

When I hear someone call my name and up I look to see who it could be and in hope they are not  too far away for it is quite cold out here today.

And I rather be inside with a hot drink and a blanket as I have done all my errands and now I can enjoy what’s left of this snow day for me.

And I do hope the snow doesn’t come back around anytime too soon as I am okay with the cold but the snow is where I draw the line unless it keeps me from going to work.

I’ve wasted

 So much time letting you get to me.

That there was so much I wanted to see but instead I stayed away because you were there.

Now that I’ve come back I’m not gonna let you be a reason to stop me for doing what I need to do.

Because I only have a few days left before I leave again.

I feel like everything is going well and I haven’t seen you once.

But, I can feel the hairs on the back of my neck going up and I know you are near.

I know if I turned around I will see you and it will scare me like I just saw a ghost.

So I’ll just keep walking and hope you didn’t sense me this time.

Yes it

is another day in this place

is it going to be great I doubt it.

But here I stand trying to make things right.

I know that I’m doing what I need to do because I have always put others first.

But as the new year quickly approaches I’m really gonna focus on myself and worry about others later when I have accomplish what I want to accomplish in my life for the time I need to get it done is not guaranteed for me.

I know right now I am here and in this moment I am focusing on what makes me, me and worrying about everything else later.

For a time for rest is now for I’ve been busy lately trying to forget and to get lost in almost everything so I don’t have to face the truth that’s been eating me up inside for quite some time now.

Maybe one day I’ll let it all out but for now only a little at a time will I cry and scream for the release I truly need to be at peace with myself.

I need

these little moments when it’s just me and I can sit and appreciate all the moments you have blessed me and have allowed me to see another day.

I sit here with a smile on my face in hope that things will continue to get better for me because I am not the one to continue down this path where I allow others too much control of my life.

I am ready to gain more strength and patience to get through this storm I’m about to walk into for not the first time but it’s been awhile.

I know that I can face anything with you God so help me to keep my mouth shut when I have nothing nice to say and to hold me back when people try me.

Allow me to pause before I jump into anything these days for I know you will guide me the right way and that it’s time for me to do what needs to be done before my time is up.

I feel

Like someone is trying to throw me off as the year comes to an end.

The anger that is boiling inside of me is out of control and I don’t know how to tame it in.

Just the thought of how they are trying to play me is unfair and unfortunately a struggle for them.

I’m not sorry at this point and I will continue on with my head held up high.

I won’t allow this sneaky move to shake me up for good.

My lord won’t allow me too and so I will pray for those who do me wrong and keep doing what is best for me.
