Get out of my way!!

We all know them. Those who just can't. Lead them to water, can't drink. Give them a fishing rod, can't bait the hook. Give them a job, can't do the work. The frustrations are limitless with the can't. It's not can't, rather won't. The will not try. If you're given the answers to the test on a daily basis, why not retain knowledge and apply it? If you're in you're own way, I can certainly say, you're in mine as well and I will push you aside. 

I've been told more times than I can possibly count 'figure it out'. I do. And this is where I am set on survival and thriving. There is always a plan.



Clueless


Silly girl,

Always mouth open

Ears closed

The perception is

You’re a gaslighter

Play that victim card

In a hand you’ve dealt to yourself


Silly girl,

You’re not naive

Master of MAN-ipulation

Decisively lazy in those 

calculated moves

Shuffle the deck

Wear that poker-face well


Silly girl,

Lacking in your ability to attempt

To live

You left your independence at the alter

Live in a shelter of I-don’t-know’s

That well structured house of cards

Is deteriorating due to such cluelessness


SIlly girl,

Filling those voids with the adventures of others

Vicariously wishing on stars and dandelions

Anything to make a change

Unwilling to take the risk

You are your own worst enemy

The mirror only ha

s one side, 

In your reality.

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. Lightly lined and ready for me.      I've carried this book forever, or what seems like forever now. You can do the math, it's 2025, that was 1998... a lifetime ago.       From that book, I share with you the first entry: Ink Your thoughts so perfectly  sketched out on blue-lined...

It's summer....

Officially, by the calendar, it is Summer. And I cannot focus on work. I want to be outside. Barefooted, running through fields with dandelions and daisies beneath my feet, the sun kissing my skin.  Alas, I have to wait. Until work finishes. 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.
