There is

 Always two ways to go and the possibility that you could pick the right one is 50/50.

But today you can relax for you know which path to take on this run.

And maybe when the time comes to choose the path that will lead you to new things.

You will be ready to make the right decision and have that feeling inside that you did the right thing.

You never seem to know when that path will come up so it’s best to know what you want and don’t want in your life so that the red flags are seen sooner rather than later.

I tried

to wait for you a little longer.

But, the wind started to pick up and I had to leave and as I walked away I tried to text you again.

But still, no reply and I just don’t understand how you didn’t pick up as today was the day you choose to meet up with me.

Now not only was my time wasted out in the cold it just sucks for any day now I will be leaving and this reality we had together is slowly coming to end.

I just hope you reach out to me before I get even farther away from you and the time it will take for me to come back will be too long.

That even you may move on and forget about me and I’m hoping you don’t forget me and that our future will still be something that can happen and not just some fantasy we came up with one long cold night.

A moment

with just you and me before it gets cold again.

Lots of candles were lite and petals on the table.

As we came together in hopes of a good night for our day was probably not so good.

But once together again and nothing matters as all the bad moments fade away even if it’s just for tonight.

Everything is quiet and the peace is all around as we stare into each other eyes and have a great night.

And when it’s all said and done we are all just glad to enjoy each other time and hope that the next night out for us won’t be a long time away.

To beat

the cold I had to put on my fur and have my lantern  guide the way as I travel back to my home on this almost dark night.

This winter has barely arrived and already it is cold and warm than back to cold and frankly I have had enough and I just want to cuddle up and not be bother with the cold air form outside.

But tonight I have to  acknowledge all that is going on around me for I have so much to look for and to look forward too.

For the winter has delivered me something to be grateful for.

Just another

day in the snow trying to make it to the car after walking through it all.

When I hear someone call my name and up I look to see who it could be and in hope they are not  too far away for it is quite cold out here today.

And I rather be inside with a hot drink and a blanket as I have done all my errands and now I can enjoy what’s left of this snow day for me.

And I do hope the snow doesn’t come back around anytime too soon as I am okay with the cold but the snow is where I draw the line unless it keeps me from going to work.

I need

these little moments when it’s just me and I can sit and appreciate all the moments you have blessed me and have allowed me to see another day.

I sit here with a smile on my face in hope that things will continue to get better for me because I am not the one to continue down this path where I allow others too much control of my life.

I am ready to gain more strength and patience to get through this storm I’m about to walk into for not the first time but it’s been awhile.

I know that I can face anything with you God so help me to keep my mouth shut when I have nothing nice to say and to hold me back when people try me.

Allow me to pause before I jump into anything these days for I know you will guide me the right way and that it’s time for me to do what needs to be done before my time is up.

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.

This is

our little holiday on wheels we do this almost every Saturday night with a cup of tea or hot chocolate and we look up into the sky.

With no worry insight for this our time to get away from the stress and just be in the lights and sitting on top of the throw that will keep us warm later on into the night.

But, sometimes I do this alone for my light needs time to restore and come out only to be seen by myself.

For being around others sometimes could be overwhelming  and so in the trunk I sit imaging what things could be like if I had done things differently.

I know that we will always come back to this spot but for now let’s just live one day at a time.

To feel

the sun on my face after such a cold morning.

I just want to forget about today and hope for a better tomorrow

for I know things will be tough and the week will be long and at the end I will want to not come back again.

Things are going so well for me and right now I just hope and wish it will all work out in the end for I am tired of losing sleep over something that is not going to define me at the  end of my day or week.

Something   that has already changed me but not in the way I wanted it too.

At this point only the truth will set me free and today just doesn’t seem like the day where everything will be clear for me .

Every year

mywords2228

for Christmas a new ornament goes on the true to old to those that are old and full of memories.

As we start to share the new ones we have received for the year.

For Christmas is a great time of year to gather with the ones you love and just really enjoy some time together.

To not stress out about things that don’t matter and just decorate and drink something sweet and eat something sweet too.

And take the  time to start thinking about what you will do next year .

For once Christmas is over it’s only a few days later that the year is over and all those things that happened will be gone and all the new things will be happening before you know.

And having a plan sometimes is helpful but we never know when our time is up and to be able to do what we want now goes a long way in the end.

Of what you have planned and then for what God has in store for you at the end of the day.

Week 201 of Three Line Tales

three line tales, week 201: a woman sitting on a Moscow subway platformphoto by Egor Vikhrev via Unsplash

spend more time in the light and less in the dark this year as Christmas is just around the corner and then the year will be almost over  in no time. 

I know that it feels so great to sit with the sun shining down on you even though now those days are few and when it happens it just something to cherish for the moment.

Today is the day I just get to relax and  not worry about anything as the day comes to a end and you head into a night of probably a mess but you hope for the best because you know that the count down to not stress about it is about to happen and you can’t wait for that moment.

I feel

a little broken lately

as my body grows weak.

And my legs hurt the most

as I stand up all day long moving forward and backward.

Not getting much of a break for I have so much to do and it all must be done.

I know that the day will go by quickly and I will hopefully get it all together in no time for I’m so ready to do more than I thought was possible.

It’s time to pick up my broken pieces and let them float away and grow new pieces along the way as I expand my life like never before.

I will take this chance and I will run with it for I know I am ready for a challenge and ready to get out of my comfort zone and embrace new things and see and meet new people too.

Sometimes it

mywords2228

form-41mNcbpgc-U-unsplash                                                    Photo by Form on Unsplash

takes team work to get  the right pose done right.

with just the right amount of patience anything can be succeed if we just both trust that we are capable of the strength needed to not only pull this off but to hold on a little longer than we intended  to.

Today was a good day not just for me but for you too.

Let’s end this week strong and know that there is always time for us to get it together while still supporting each other through this journey where our live continues to grow and be blessed.

That dark

Three Line Tales, Week 196

night started a little sooner than I expected but as daylight saving has arrived the darkness will be coming more sooner than later.

The orange moon shined so brightly as halloween night had came and gone with a storm no one wanted but, it took over and all the kids surely ran away.

With maybe not as much candy in there bags but it was better to be safe that night as the wind picked up and the air turned cripes.

Trees and leaves won’t the only things blow around that night as people were still out and about on a night so unique like this.

This place

 So beautiful and peaceful that can’t stop coming back to it.

I know now the ugly things don’t matter when I’m here in this place.

It’s like nothing can touch me even when I know all I want to do is run and scream like I’m in a horror movie.

And of course I will run towards the very people hunting me for they too will play as if they are the victims.

Until they turn on me and then as the light fades from my eyes this place will come to my mind and I will be okay with it being my time to go.

Oh how I wish this place wasn’t just in my dreams but where my reality went to be happy and where my soul could have some peace for once.
