Not in

mood for cheer as Christmas is gone and the days are slowly unwinding  down from 2019 and slowly but surely towards 2020.

I know I should still be happy as there is still some Christmas movies and sweets left for me to eat and to enjoy.

I still have books to read and weather to stay out of for it is quite cold this year and right now I rather be sleeping and not dealing with the stupidity of someone else.

I am not a child anymore and to be in charge of my life right now seems great even though I know I’m not fully in charge but I know that I have some control of things and yet you want to try to cut me down and just think I will just fall back and do the same stuff all over again.

Would mean you are  the fool I’ve been trying to avoid and right now I’ve lost my voice and have nothing left to say and nothing left to for I know I’m not meant to have been here this long anyways.

after Christmas and this little guy is something no one wants to see at anytime of the year.

He may look a little cute and small but he is not the one anyone wants to play with useless this little guy is your pet and at this point he still needs to go.

His on my favorite blanket and I’m afraid to move for he looks like his about to jump so please grab him while you can and I’d like a new blanket please too for when you take him away you can have the blanket too.

I know

 That every moment I get with you is lucky and special in its own way.

I know that these days things are different but I am grateful for the time you give me to just cuddle and play together.

You are my dog and even though I share you with others I know our bond is different and true.

My little fur baby not much a baby anymore as you just turned seven this year and yet it hasn’t slowed you down yet.

Still you have your full on smile and whines and barks and the excitement of seeing your love ones is still so strong like your loyalty.

Never wanting to leave anyone behind as you bark your way into everyone’s heart today and tomorrow.

Forever in my heart and my family as we hope you stay with us for many years to come for without you the light in our lives would not shine as bright.

To many more memories and joys as we spend time together and I hope to capture them all too.

 To everyone or happy Hanukkah.

I hope we all enjoy this day even if some of you have to work.

Just be grateful you get to see the day and share the joy with whoever you can.

Enjoy the time with family and friends and enjoy the little moments that will pop up through out the day.

And just know that even if you didn’t get what you wanted, I’m sure you got what you needed and if not don’t wait around for someone else to give it to you.

Because in just a few days it will be a new year and I hope you have plans to make things different but for now have a merry Christmas and I hope every moment of your day is blessed and full of love and laughter.

Christmas Eve and the sun was shining through the windows as the day started off on a good note.

Being warm and cold was just the way the weather was going.

But the day was becoming so long and tiring that no one noticed as the clear sky turned gray and dark.

The lights from the tree couldn’t shine bright enough to make this darkness go away.

On such a lovely eve no one would have thought it would become so dark and long.

  The moment I’ve been looking forward to as all the lights have been put up.

And the urge to just go out and look at them is so strong that in no time you are out and about walking around in the dark.

With no care in the world because the lights are guiding your way through this long night ahead of you.

The smile on your face won’t go away as you are always so overjoyed this time of year.

You know that this time things are limited as you look forward to not thinking about much as your time away is very much limited this week.

We are

 to band together and work through this difficult time as a team.

But instead it feels like we are turning against each other and the end result just won’t ever be good.

To not think about it as the day slowly comes to a end, and I know that at this moment nothing is my concern.

I know how to slowly make the system work for me and right now I just want to take my time and make sure these last rounds of trouble much be worked through today as a band of not just people but a family that has to look out for each other.

But also take responsibility when we do something wrong that could affect not just ourselves but the whole team.

 something good will come out of this space I’m in.

But right now the results are not quite in and the time it’s taking to get by for me is not so great.

But I won’t give up even when I’ve seen better days for I know there is so much more to look forward too in the next week and in the new year too.

 Cold outside and on this day I needed a cup of hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows and a little peppermint.

It warms me inside and lets my light shine Just a little brighter this season.

It’s my go to drink when the weather gets too cold.

It’s the one thing I know I can’t go without before winter hits.

So yes baby it’s cold outside and I’m just gonna sit in here and stay warm tonight.

Tired of

The lies and the blame you want to put on everyone but yourself.

Because at the end of the day it’s someone else that made you mad and upset.

Someone else that ruined your day or week.

But, once you’ve run them all off

Who and what will you have left?

Because once they leave no one will believe your lies and you will feel alone again with no one to save you the next time around.
