Can shine the light on so much that is going on around us but, sometimes a picture can show things looking too perfect.

The Sun is shining out and all you want to do is get to a place where you can truly enjoy what is going on around you.

You don’t want to doubt the beauty around you but you feel like the other shoe is about to drop and everything you thought you needed will be no more.

Week 178 of Three Line Tales.

tltweek178

The time where we can relax for a week and a half  on vacation where laughter is all around.

And even though you know you will enjoy yourself you still hope to not burn out here in the sun and to get as much time as you want in the water with no worries that you have to leave soon. 

You just do your thing and yes you look at the clock a couple of times but you enjoy every second of your days as you know when you get back home the relaxation will be over and done for now.

Week 176 of Three Line Tales

Set aim your arrows at the target of your choice, and fire away and at first, your hands are shaking.

But you get them together as you try again to hit your target and you know that everyone else is trying too.

So do not give up so quickly on what you believe you are capable of doing, for the end goal is for you to be happy with all that you said and done and this target is no different.

we got look back on the past and appreciate some of the things we had or still have and not just throw them away because their time has come.

But, to look back and say it’s be incredible to be able to see those things because now some moments are harder to recreate when you know those objects are not around anymore.

To the things that were once great and now just memories that will live on with us and others we hope.

Week 174 of Three Line Tales

three isn’t just a number to us it has meaning behind it as its the amount of days it took for you to work up the nerves to say something to me.

It’s the amount of times we went out before you told me that seeing other people wouldn’t be necessary anymore for you were the only one worthy of my time.

You won’t over corky when you said it for you always had good intentions and still to this day the number 3 is lucky to us.

Wow

look how big he is, I didn’t think he would look this amazing up close to me but wow it’s absolutely amazing.

His so big and white to be able to see a polar bear looking so calm and the black fur under his neck with a hit of blue just makes him really pop in the blue water.

It feels like we are in a painting and missing the colors together to blend it is just so unique and unreal.

center after such a long week wasn’t easy and I feel it still isn’t as I stand on this roof.

Trying to shut out all the words and sounds around me as I focus on what I love to do and not get lose in all that has been going on.

So tired and frustrated and letting all that is around me take away the peace I had stops now and I’m taking back my peace for good.

and about all on my own with no worry insight and no hurry in my steps as I move along at a very normal pace.

I know today is for me and the worry about how long things will take have not crossed my mind as I go about my day just enjoy the slow pace for once.

No care insight about what will come next just enjoying the day as the weather is so calm with no storm insight to ruin my day out.

three line tales, week 170: an unhappy birthday party

photo via Unsplash

 always wanted time to speed up but in the end when were old and gray hair is the style for us because dyeing it would just take too much time now and we just don’t have the patience anymore. 

We still celebrate birthday’s and events but the excitement we use to have about these moments just aren’t there anymore.

Because we feel the pain and aches and even though we are blessed  to still be around we are just too tired  to make a big deal about them.

Day hasn’t been what we imagined it would be as the rain keeps coming down and all around us.

But, we don’t want to end the night so soon so we just enjoy the rain as we walk and run to her next destination.

In hopes that we can have a great time out with our friends for it has been too long, since we have seen each other and tonight feels so amazing and I don’t want it to end ever.

bright morning is going to be a good day as I relax next to my car as I take a moment to savor the day.

For it looks like it’s going to be a good day with no clouds insight, just clear sky’s all around making you look forward to a nice spring day.

You feel good and you look good and now your ready to show the world you have arrived because with the help of others you finally see the true you and you believe your worth the effort now.

true risk I’m willing to take right now is just being alone and letting myself let down all my walls and just relax and not stress about the outside things that pour so much into my life. 

I know by doing this I’m leaving myself so vulnerable that any type of shark could come and get me and my defense would be down and my luck of surviving the attack would be unlikely. 

But, I can’t sit around keeping it all inside I have to let some of it go so I can survive any attack that comes my way.

The three-line tale week 166

Always in motion with no hope of slowing down, always something to do or something to get stuck on.

You try to focus but everything is moving around you at the speed of light with no hope of slowing down and I know what it’s like to feel like everyone is going somewhere.

Yet, your stuck in this spot with no hope of getting away from this place or people insight and it’s bad enough your faith is tested more than you want it to be. And  yet you don’t give up no matter how hard it is.

Three lines Tale week 165E47B3F97-CD09-49C5-874E-A5B9F6D21FEB

Time we have together seems so limited as we stand here looking back on all the time we spent doing things we didn’t love to do.

We choose to do the things others expected from us and ended up just feeling so disappointed with no hope insight.

We told ourselves that we knew what needed to be done but, yet at the end we all end up in a place feeling like we lost our mind and pushing ourselves to do more than we can at the end.

Three Line Tales, Week 164

three line tales, week 164: a couple on a road trip

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.
