life notes; flaws and all

a daily breath...

A thought du jour, my daily breath includes collected and conceived observations, questions of life, fortune cookie philosophies, reminders, messages of peace and simplicity, unsolicited advice, inspirations, quotes and words that got me thinking. They may get you thinking too . . .

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

I need to remind myself, more often,
who I am and what I have become.
More so, I need to remind myself of
what I am becoming.
If I am truly a work in progress, how
much progress have I made?
How can I tell if I don’t remind myself
or question myself?
Only I can really know.

hugs and kisses
and more
 
       flowers   chocolates
      words of endearment
      or romance
 
                     for those so inclined
 
              love is expressed
              in so many ways
 
                     today above any other day
                     (though every day counts)
                     some days more than others
 
       show your love
       like it matters
 
                                it does

cloud songs

      I am fairly certain
the uncertainty will pass, that
the anxiety masking my days
   will wash away when
   the time is right, or 
   my spirit will feel more
than it does right now.
We all live under the cloud
of self-judgement. Some days 
   it is thicker than
      we ever imagined, while we
wait for the day it will dissipate.
       We are not what
       we often feel.
