what comes is better, than what came before

I have embraced all that has been part and what shall be in my life. Patience indeed shall yield all that might be needed in one's life. I have made it through one month and more away from all that I love and hold dear. I no doubt miss many things that were left behind I am discovering new and exciting things about others and myself at every opportunity. The strength to exist alone is not an easy thing to take hold of.... Nevertheless it is a trait which can be an anchor during our darkest hour, or it can shine as one of our greatest triumphs. It is something which can exist in both forms simultaneous. The situation that you realize either state shall determine how you perceive it.

the days are long, but the years are short

I've got no reasons for complaining. Is that simply stated enough. Even my worst days would be blinding bright in their gloriouparesness comd to the daily struggle of some people in this world. Cleandom, and water, warm bed, food, free decent health. I am writing this in the off chance people actually read this stuff and mistake my writings as whiny banter and utter ramblings. Some days are just harder than others. But days go by and the cliches keep coming and you just have to go with it. Not that we must disregard our sorrow, but we should embrace every moment as it comes to us and reflect. With reflection we may gain insight and in turn produce a positive outcome or at least a positive thought to be deposited in our knowledge banks. I don't even know what this is all heading towards so in short. Love Life, and for those who know the song, sing along...Be Well and Be Free

Palermo undergoes a coaching change in hopes that they can turn around the remainder of the season. They face many tough opponents and an uphill mental battle to overcome the string of defeats they have suffered of late. Glory to the Rosanero!!!!

Cats

Her eyes lit up as she peeled the blanket from her curled body.

"There's a cat," she whispered.

"I know."

She rose eyes still fixed on my own, face aglow. She slowly tipped toward the cat, and glided into a sitting position. Two more cats joined the first and basked in the seemingly endless affection that this little girl was prepared to give. Her small Princess Jasmine nightgown flowing in a messy circle about her. It was this that Emma's existence seemed destined. For these cats to be loved and Emma to love them.

All the cats appeared to be the same age and even the same sex, and none of them bore any physical resemblance. Emma, however had decided with great certainty there was a "mommy" cat and two "baby" cats. In her words.

"Because I just know, that is the Mommy cat and those are her babies."

what to do?

Staring off blankly
dragging feet
to match your heart

A wandering pen
joined by a mind
a mind at a loss

So much to be,
to be thankful
and yet still want

Cleaning up a mess
but not the one
the mess that is you

Is it all so wrong
a world you shut out
looking inside to find nothing

You can't quite place it
your despair, your melancholy
only that it is yours, only yours


So sums up the easter weekend, don't ask me why but i cant keep a smile on my face. Keep on keepin on...
