I don’t

mywords2228

want to take the risk but at this point who am I pretending for.

I’m doing more harm than helping by sticking around today.

I’m lost in space and the truth is I’m not sure I want to find my way back to the disaster that hit us from side to side.

You can’t even step away for a second before it all goes downhill from there.

You start second-guessing everything and still, you can’t figure out what’s going on around you.

You know the problem isn’t you and yet still things are being thrown at you as if you need to be punished.

To much to

 handle in one week let along two weeks in a row.

No consideration of what is going on with others just your satisfaction of having it all laid out.

The truth has always been there and yet I put up with it for far too long.

If I want to be true to myself it’s time to stand up for what I want and well have them deal with the rest.

I know I can’t help what is going on around me but I’m trying my best to overcome the things that annoy me the most.

For it’s time for joy and to put the complaining behind me and focus on the goal ahead.

To do more and to finally feel like I’m getting something done without the worries of sinking in the end.

Even with

mywords2228

all the rain outside today.

I am still so full with Joy and happiness.

Even with it being so cold out that I feel I rather just stay wrapped up in a blanket all day I still go out and see the beauty in the fallen leaves and the wind wiping all around us.

Even though I know this will be a long week I Still smile for things could be differently but all I see is change coming my way.

I know that things won’t always be this way and I know that things will get better but, I also know it’s time for me to grown and find out more about myself.

Today is not just any ordinary day it’s the day I woke up and truly had a smile on my face as the rain poured all around me not wanting to take a break.

But, instead of waiting it out I took my chance and I went out there and it had magically slowed down and let me be out and about for a little while before it picked back up again.

Christmas is just around the corner as we just celebrated Thanksgiving and now were rushing around hoping things will get better before the year is  over.

Were all looking around to see if we can spot what we got this year.

In hope of knowing what will make us smile the most on that day.

Maybe we won’t expect much because we have all that we need and it’s time to stop worrying about gifts for that isn’t the most important thing on Christmas day as we get older and the things we need become less.

And the wants aren’t actually something that needs to come into our life.

We look forward to making that day special for others but at the same time we are satisfied with what we have and if we need something we can always get it later for why waste the money and time on something we may not use again or at all.

The holidays feel me up with joy  and peace and it will continue too even if their is a lot or not a lot of  gifts under the tree this year.
