Grateful

Started this post a few days ago then got busy.

The song was what prompted the post.

Today woke up angry.

Just not a happy camper. I can feel anger emanating. So Unlike me.

This little face warmed my heart

Is that a smile?

Spent a little time with her, then off to work. Still angry. Now let me just say I try to keep the negative thoughts to myself. Lots of self talk… came here to vent. Found the draft from the other morning. It had this song and it reminded me of the morning I first heard it. Yeah so much better.

Grateful I woke up again (Amen) Woke up and took a breath again (Yahweh) Looked up and saw the sun again(oh) I’m grateful for the eyes I have (Amen) I’m moving all my toes again (Amen) I’m grateful for the wind against my face(hum) I’m grateful for the sensation(sensation) Of a loved one’s embrace.

Grateful for all this and more.

Peace and so much love

Currently

A vacant heart, a silent mind, 
No tears to fall, no pain to find. 
A canvas bare, no colors bright, 
Just quiet strength, a healing light. 

The echoes fade, the storm now gone, 
A hollow space where grief once shone. 
No joy, no sorrow, just a pause, 
A steady breath, a healing cause. 

Like shattered glass, the pieces mend, 
A new beginning, a journey to ascend. 
No pulse of emotion, yet a steady beat, 
A quiet healing, bittersweet.

I guess all I really need is a little good news.

What Siri!!

My phone keeps suggesting I open up my app and write something. So ok!

I heard an amazing song anyway. One I need to share 🙂

Life is free and easy.. love is a different story. Like? Yeah, I like it all lol…

Could you be that fine love uhm
That 1949 love uhm
That quiver in your spine love
The summer wine love
Could you be that sweet love
That sated replete love uhm
That Mediterranean heat love huuu huuu
That stuck-on-repeat love
Just grab a warm body

Sheesh those pretty lyrics.

Hope your love is all this and more.

A Symptom

A symptom of being human.

I can’t help but think of you when I hear this song.

Not that you even remember when my birthday is or that November rain is a favorite song.

Maybe it’s just the group and how obsessed you were with them.

So I guess memories, feelings and songs can be symptoms of being human.

No matter, the song is amazing, where you lack lol.

We’re all just passing through
Passengers on a ship of fools

What the Universe!?

So yeah the Universe is always throwing it back.. In your face

Go bug somebody else, so I can sleep at night
Cry, cry
Go ahead and ruin someone else’s life

Those ending lyrics there, well, they caught my ear. Made me turn around and say huh, did I just hear that? After a fast Google search, why, yes, yes you did. Heh.

If you get away from that someone, the devil always sends them back.. to see if you’re still a fool.. Not today Satan! Not today!

The Twists

The twists and turns of life.

How is it that when something devastating happens you think this is it. Yet, you go on. Like, you just fake it, til you make it. It’s gotten hairy in the last couple, three years but I’m still standing.

The people you need to have around for comfort ? Well, let’s say who?

The last couple days, I hear from someone who was checking out the greener grass.. I, like a fool check out that site.. the one with the green, or magenta grass.. sheesh. You tried so hard, and what happened?

I’m not the same person anymore. Life has gone on., so have I. See my grass is really green. Besides, who wants what anyone can have?

Lock me up in a maze
Turn out, turn out the lights
I was born, I was raised for this
Turn out, turn out the lights
Lock me up inside a cage
Just throw away the key, don’t worry bout me..

I can do this with my eyes closed…

What if?

What if I’m just sitting here

Minding my own business

Watching an old movie.

The Universe sends me a notice through Apple Music.

Hey! Listen to this song…

What if I don’t deserve it?
What if I never find real love?
What if I’m always searching
But the problem was me all along?

These lyrics cannot resonate with a Scorpio…

But boy, for just a couple of minutes I felt all those feelings.

I AM enough, so are you…

✌️❤️

Pick up the phone

So I heard this song a little while ago.

It brought up feelings… like I actually have those.. ok, so I must.

Who do I have like this?… no, I mean really?

Lots will say oh you can count on me, I’ll be there whenever. In actuality? Nadie, nobody. Is that the empty feeling in the pit of my soul?

ok, I’m sure you’re thinking are you there for others? I’d like to think I am. Don’t we all?

I will fill it with…

This amazing song, for now.

You’re not alone, just pick up the phone
And call me whenever you’re feeling lonely
Remember you told me
You’re not alone, just pick up the phone

Sweet lyrics…

I wish you love and peace,

Raq

Jealous

So very jealous of the sun

That warms your brown skin

The wind that lightly caresses you

The time I spend away from you

The song is beautiful, almost fitting

What!? It could happen!

Until we meet again

What’s Age got to do with it?

At what age is age important?

I say you’re too young, with a reply of … that doesn’t matter.

Yeah, I’m thinking it does.

I see older men younger women all the time. Sure that he must have money stigma is there but they could actually be in love right? Now the other way.. why is that different?

However, why are there so many men, young men out there asking older women out? What’s happened? Did I miss something? A friend is widowed (it’s been like 5 years, so don’t judge) and loving her new found freedom. She says the young guys want older women because they are confident and not looking for a sugar daddy. Ok but are the guys looking for a sugar momma? Lol.. ahh the other side of the story.

Now the amazing opening was in Spanish and you all know that my language is sexy.. With all due respect I find you so beautiful. Really? I’ve known you about a year.. didn’t see that coming, then the offer was a star filled night talking about things we don’t understand. Damn it… do you know me? Lol

Then the actual problem.. yeah, I’ll not get into all that.

Nothing a little month nap and some outdoorsy stuff can’t fix. Let’s steal away and watch a sunset.

Alone?

Come and see.. wait, you’re here 😉
