Who can you blame?
Are the feelings unjust when a decision is a matter of knowing you must find fault or favour with the ill winds of change?
It is never enough to simply rearrange plans or predicaments. It is like making a prediction of all my flaws with my faith as fractured or fragile as it is, or has been.
Far easier to see what I haven’t been doing.

We tire of unpredictable weather, the damp morning chill, wet socks and lost mittens. Winter keeps reminding it is not through with us.
We have suffered long enough.
The streets are tired and dirty and the time change only makes things darker in the morning.
We need a brighter view.
We need, now, the renewal that comes with spring.

Progress comes less from planning than participation.
Dreams and wishes require action and attention.
Start moving.

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

is a writer/photographer in Toronto.
Yesterday did not go as planned.
I had things to do – things I needed to do – that simply did not get done.
Lately, many days have been like that. More than I care to admit.
Some days I fail to see all that I have.
Other days I’m unsure where I am going, even when I try to adjust my
way of thinking or alter my direction.
When I struggle with all this negativity, I don’t (or can’t) take into
consideration the many good things that I possess.
I’m too caught up in the emotional traffic and feelings of anger that
rise up from the disappointment that I can’t focus on the task at hand.
I don’t think I’m unique.
I believe we all have things we want to accomplish.
We don’t all struggle. Few of us admit we are nowhere near where
we need to be. None of us are perfect.
I am flawed.
Some days I can’t quite see past all the imperfections, but still
I will keep trying.
I don’t want today to simply turn into yesterday.
