have a limited time to get there and yet as we walk up I don’t want it to look like I’m so desperate for this sale that only comes around so many times.
I know in my head I know what I need and where each item will be, I just have to make the right move so we can get in and get out without having to deal with all the stress of a crowd.
The time is near and I think I am ready to shop.

read today is not the question running through your head right now but, what to read when there is so much to choose from right in front of me right now.
To be able to get lost in words that will touch your soul and you will surely remember from time to time those great words that you read.
But, for now you must pick at least two or three books and go home before the weather gets bad again and just enjoy a good read.

to a love that is not true just so that your heart would be full for you didn’t want to let go and feel lonely again.
You knew the feelings between you and him were real but, over time things have changed and instead of walking away you hold on so tightly that you lose sight of what you truly want and what you truly need to be happy and sane.
So I beg you to let go and move on to something better.

find my way out of this place, that I feel is holding me back and keeping me in place when all I want is to get out.
I’ve tried a couple of times to get out and some how they never seem to work out and here I sit planning my way in hope this time will be different.
I just want to taste the freedom that will come from me walking away from this place that makes me lose sight of what I’ve been working so hard for.

You have come and gone, yet you seem to think you are wanted back again with everything being below zero and it’s not safe to be outside for very long or at all.
There you are a bird waiting for the storm to pass but, knowing it’s getting too cold for you to stay here watching the snow fall down and down.
You know your time to fly on will come soon and I hope it comes before it is too late for you because, this storm is no joke.

the stars shined so bright and the light reflected so beautifully on the river that night.
I was so happy and so at peace and nothing could ruin my mood that night as I stared off into the sky with no worry in that moment.
The time away was something I needed and hope would clear my mind and it has and now only time will come to see if this change in me will stay a little longer.

As a child the simple act of jumping to rock to rock with nothing but joy on our minds and nothing in the world was able to touch you at these times.
You laughed and you felt full with joy and happiness and it was just you and your best friend every step of the way.
You didn’t have to worry about who had your back for you knew he always would and now as adults the joy is still there but so is the sadness.
Written By: Deirdre Stokes
it’s the past that brings a smile on your face once again letting you know that even though adulthood isn’t what you thought it was.
It’s not time to give up but, the time to look back and think about what you thought would be your dream today if you had just took the risk and did what you loved to begin with.
Don’t let the present hold you back at what your future could possibly be if you just take the time to do what you love.

on a ride that will go far, far way so that I don’t have to worry about how soon it will be until I arrive or get back.
I want to see the mountains and the hills and all that nature has to offer me for this ride may not
be something I can enjoy another time around.
I want to feel relaxed all the time and not have a care in the world at the end of this trip.

is our time when it gets so cold and the snow arrives, and school is closed because it’s just not safe to be out in this weather.
But, just a little bit away is the ice rink that me and my friends always hit up when it’s cold and we can all get together amd have fun and make new memories.
As I skate to you with the hope of making this shot for the first time this year all the practice I’ve been doing I really hope it pays off, this time around.

Everyone is coming together to have a relaxing moment with such a great view ahead of them.
All year they had planned this trip so that they could see each other doing such a great time of the season.
The mini like red bushes were just something to see and even if you had seen them so many times it just never got old. It was the one thing worth seeing this time of year and the memories always ended staying with you for years.

here we are again with another day of fetch the ball and even though we have been doing this for a while you still get so excited as if it’s a new ball or a new game.
I throw and you run and hopefully if we play the game right then you will return to me with the ball and we will keep going back and forth until one of us is tired.
But, if you don’t bring the ball back then the game ends before it even really started and it may be just find with you but soon or later this game won’t be possible and then we both will be sad.

In the dark you will see the mess that I am, the mess that I hide because everyone is expecting so much from me.
The mess that doesn’t seem to go away no matter how hard I work to clean it up and make things right.
I know that this mess is not just my own doing and it will take time to clean up but, once it’s done I hope it can continue this way for a long time coming.

Week 140 of Three Line Tales
You’ll find full guidelines on the TLT page – here’s the tl;dr:
is that way as I move quickly from my seat to get to a place far away from here so that I can finally think without interruptions.
To feel like I’m not about to fall apart from being overworked and feeling like no matter what I do there is not enough time in the day for things to work out.
The decision made around me are just not quite good or even adding up at the end, how much more can I go through before I’ve had enough too?
