You always

mywords2228

 Have my back

Together we are able to figure it out.

I know no matter what they say you are doing your best.

I don’t expect much and so how you give so much more every time.

I feel others don’t want to admit sometimes your way work.

They just want to put the blame on someone else.

You are someone I look up too and I hope to make something more of myself.

You give your all and you realize that those who choose to pretend will get no where in the end.

2020 what

mywords2228

three line tales, week 205: a rusty shipping container, 2020

Week 205 of Three Line Tales

have you brought me as we are now five days in and something have changed.

While others  are still the same and you shake your head more and you bit your tongue more because you can’t afford to tell them all off when the time it takes to deal with them is taking way to long.

You know the stress is strong but you won’t let it get to you because you know at the end od the day you aren’t taking their problems home with you and you are doing your best and that’s all that really matters now.

To love

mywords2228

which we want to grow stronger each and everyday.

To feel that joy flowing through as you are awake and when you are asleep.

A feeling that never dies for it is something you have always had inside of you.

Sometimes the love you feel flowing through you isn’t for someone else but the love your Lord has sent to you so that you know you are not alone.

It may overwhelm you and make you want to share it and that is okay for that is all he wants you to do.

It is something that grows over time and make you think and care about someone a lot.

It is something that is unlimited and even though you share it a lot there is still a lot of hate out there in the world.

And anger and just being impatient and rude but, all I do is show love and care for it’s better to be on the side that feels good at the end.

Then to feel sorry or just angry for way too long.

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.

As the holiday

mywords2228

 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.

Yes it

mywords2228

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.

 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.

I know

I have decisions to make but the time its taking to make them is not an easy one.

I feel tired and just not in the mood.

I feel under the weather but somehow still making it through with barely an complaint.

I want to see an clearer picture  because I know at the end of the day it will all go down and the picture we are painting may not look the way we wanted it too.

Time can and will only tell what is going on if we make a change the facts are even in the changes the flow of things are off and when you try to control them you end up with the same results.

Almost everyone has given up but yet still coming around to collect and yet says they are doing so much more but they are not.

It’s like watching an old episode of one of your favorite shows and yelling for the character to not make that mistake but you already know they will and at this point why are you fighting what is and will happen.

You know the situation and you wish they would just get in down but only if you stick to what you know and embrace the change with hope things will work out.

And to ask questions along the way because, if you leave it up to others to run the show it will always run into the ground.

On such

mywords2228

a cold day out

All I think of is a cup of Apple cider would be nice.

But, I have to wait for hours until I can touch something hot to my lips again.

Herewith the cold, bowing at me as I have to keep opening the window and all I wish I had something tasty to drink and to eat.

But, with no luck insight after 10 long hours, I finally have my hot drink insight with no seconds left to spare.

With my tummy now warm I’m now ready for bed.

I know

 I’m different and yet funny and nice.

But I’m not so great at being a friend.

Or at least that’s how I feel as the doors of friendship keep shutting on me.

Maybe I withdraw from the world just a little bit too much.

I guess I’m better at disappearing into a book or a movie.

But, I’m so great if you could get past that all for I have a lot to give but shyness is a big part of who I am.

But I don’t let it slow me down for I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in this place of feeling so lost about who I am and what I meant to do.

 I know I pray and that there are few that stuck with me to the end but, maybe sometimes it would be nice to have just a little more support.

 

 But who knows maybe this is how it’s meant to be for just me.

I feel

mywords2228

 as the cold wraps around me that I’ve been lucky this whole time.

For things could be worse but somehow even the things that should be sucking the life out of me.

It is more of a blessing for it makes me realize even though I am stuck in this storm.

There is a way out and if I just wait it will come to me and there is no point in feeling sorry for myself.

For this is only the beginning and there is always time for a miracle to happen and wipe away the bad of my day or my year.

Oh how

mywords2228

 you’ve given me the strength to carry on lately.

Especially with everything going on all I can think of is how you gave me a second chance at life.

At opportunities, I didn’t think we’re going to happen to me this year.

But there you were knocking down those doors I thought we’re not gonna open and here I was gonna be left alone here to truly break down.

And lose who I was and to not believe I was good enough to leave and better myself from this place.

Oh God how much I love and appreciate all that you do for me now and later on in my life.

IT’S SO

mywords2228

cold outside that all I can think of once I’m inside again is a nice cup of hot chocolate with some whip cream on top or marshmallows.

To help warm me up inside again for I am not ready for how cold it is right now as the days get closer to Thanksgiving and then Christmas.

But I do enjoy a day of being inside and just watching a movie well been all warm and not having to deal with the cold outside, for I am not ready for snow when it gets too cold.

I can barely stand the weather now as it goes up and down and the wind isn’t helping at all either.

But tonight I’ll try to forget the cold as I wrap up in my blanket and drink something hot and sweet and think about warm things as it rains all night long.
