the moon shines incandescently
against the onyx sky
swept up, I feel the pain
numb and staggering, all at once
I breathe deeply
not knowing where I find the strength
and they come faster, quicker, until
my feelings are fleeting 4 weeks ago

Sometimes the light goes out
But sometimes, the universe lets you know
It gives you a sign
That it’s okay
To try again
To let out that dusty breath
And you pick up where you left off

with my Christmas cards…. even though that is really not the intention of this goal, they are in desperate need of doing.

We received a beautiful card from the truly wonderful FGR….. I have been very slack in saying thank you for it. Huge hugs and a massive thank you.

So I have the cards…. I even have the stamps to mail them with…. just have to sit down and write the damn things!! 5 months ago

I used to write all the time as a teen. And now as I put it “my life gets in the way” . I get distracted by my daily responsibility. I want to get back in touch with the creative me again. 21 months ago

Instead of my haphazard way of writing, I shall make this a priority. In any format that moves me…. No rules! Just WRITE what you feel, what moves me that day!

Whether it takes a form of journal, blogging, writing an essay, or perhaps I will attempt some poetry – just for kicks!

Writing is writing, and it is a fantastic feeling, when the words come together. Sometimes it doesn’t have to be ‘perfect’.. and I need to remember that. Perfection doesn’t exist.

Practice. Practice. Practice! I shall write for 30 minutes a day.. and if I know me, that 30 minutes will grow into longer time frames! 23 months ago
