In the morning while my loves still sleep and the house is speaking in creaks and taps and hums I bounce black words on white from a semi sleepy head Fuzzy dream fragment linger imparting from my heart pieces of peaceful Coffee and wide awake soon claim my attention letting the dreaded dread begin Ah but if and only I could highlight and delete all my consternation cleared away and my plain and simple complete I look for me among the debris of a drama from back then trying to find a nugget of my nit-picky that kept me on an even keel But that was before that ship sank and drowned a good part of me LGR(C)2/10/12 |

The past can, and does at times, reach out to chew on our soft places, Lori. Nice work dealing with it though. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Awakening to the dreaded dread... Seeking the peace beyond all understanding is a daily search for harmonies in quiet places. I found myself smiling ruefully at your words, and thinking how wise it is to sometimes step away from the daily bombardment, at least momentarily, to regroup and breathe. There will always be a whine to the daily grind, but you aren't it, Lori. This touched my heart with it's wistfulness. ![]() |

Klassy Lassy Thank you for your very kind words and I wish it were just daily grind but I am truly grieving a change in myself call it a PTSD of sorts. Ironically if I wasn't so hard on myself about it, it wouldn't be so hard on me. Lori ![]() |
