so many seconds

Emotions run high at times. All the feels just hit, and hit hard. That gut punch that you're not expecting with a bitch slap. Yeah, life has those moments. And when you have a moment of clarity, the perception becomes quite evident. It's not always intentional, an oversight, faux pas. 

And this I'll just leave here. 

So many seconds

From the Beginning

      I'm 15, on the verge of 16. Finding myself in a new home, new school, new surroundings. No friends, no one who knows me or this past that I came from. It's all new. The school year develops, I made friends with people who were my peers, my equals. We're still friends today, all these years later. Even after going on with our lives - Graduation, Marriage, Kids and so on - we're still friends. One of the blessings of Facebook.      It's 1998. Christmas. I know it's the season of giving, not receiving and I had nothing to give. But my circle of friends gave - and one gave big. But, not in the aspect you'd think - no. A simple black book.

And then, my adult chores are completed.  But, I'll enjoy the smell of the honeysuckles on the vines and watching the lightening bugs (or fireflies) glitter within the treeline.  And I am reminded of how simple life was. Back then. Carefree. No responsibilities. Out till the street light came on. We didn't have to be in the house, just the yard.  I could go for simpler times.  Growing up On summer mornings,  I’d drag my size one out of bed To the sounds of Jewel and mourning doves Sun shining through cracked windows Casting shadows of breezy maple leaves On baby blue walls I would often behind the cherry wood desk, Where, once I found a letter from Green Gables Inn on 322 in Lewistown. When my mother was 16 she rolled h...

Sunday food for thought

This is from the way back in the day book, but for some reason the feeling hit today to just share a random thought. How that teenage mind worked then, questioning life and all of the feels and meanings.  I don't recall how this actually came to fruition, however, as the kids say today, it tracks.  Imagination boredom is a  completion of the fun.
