Horizons

Horizons are different, a beginning that's new

a chance to embark for all and for you.

A start, a chance to enjoy life & time...

to embrace, to think, to change things not fine.

With age does come wisdom for those willing to learn...
to realize, engage and flow with each turn.

Initiating a dream or a hope to be had...

brings light to the clouds one feels without plan or drive in the bag.

So as I stand at a fork, undecided at best...
I attempt to enact a dream forsaking the rest.

The rest being obstacles and pain continuously faced...

but with drive, belief, and a dream I do pace.

The least I could do is to try and just see...

if there's interest in T-sights and philosophies.

Word Of The Day: OPTIMISTIC

look it up damn it...and then use it in a sentence!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

It's not Britney Bitch...Happy Birthday!

Emergency

Emergencies happen suddenly
and shake you to the core...
They test your strength and purpose...
and teach you even more.
The essence of time is one most do not learn,
until it has passed and they look back and do yearn.
They yearn for the past they once did have,
still thinking it is so...
until one day time seems so still,
and only then will know.
Life is like an empty bag filling up with so much stuff,
memories & experiences both good and bad can sometimes be real tough.
To cherish what you have and appreciate that not all do,
money and health can come and go...
but you will always still be YOU!

Time

Time is so precious, once it's gone you can't get it back. It goes by unbelievably quickly, though there are many instances in life where it goes by slow as molasses.

I have always felt, time is important, of the essence and feel lost without a watch.

Sunrise is my favorite time of day. It's always so silent and then the hustle and bustle begins. Where I live you can hear multiple species of birds chirping and waves crashing, sometimes lightly and sometimes not. The few regular dog tags clinking by respectfully, joggers jogging, and don't forget the speedwalkers. Sometimes foggy but always morning...Happy Morning...another day!

One thing we are not is guaranteed another day...so try to find something enjoyable, positive, and good about each one.

Resting now In Peace - Joanie Miller...she will be missed

The Bummer of Summer

So many thoughts, dreams, and ideas I insist...

so few minutes, opportunities and obstacles to list. To be free with potential untapped or unused...is to pass, to forfeit, in the end no amuse.

The last day of August always makes me look back...at the sunshine, sunsets, the family and friends.

I will miss the warmth of the sun as fall drops...

as the 'Iguana on a' hibernates on her rock.

The frost in the air, the chill, and the rain...

makes me long for cosey fires...but the beach always AGAIN!

Back to you...

On and On

-On and On 'til the break of dawn...
with '74 decorations and a fuckin' lamp on
-The time, the trouble, the energy spent...
to annoy, antagonize, aggrivate and just vent.
-Knowing the rise eventually to receive...
makes the challenge of bother...
a prize to deceive.
-To engulf, to employ, to use as a friend...
any type of enforcement though soon they won't send.
-The boy who cried wolf was not even believed...
rather bewildered, confused and then had to leave.
-The behavior, the tricks, the deciet don't you know...
always catch us sometime in life as we grow.

Volume II is in store don't fret oh so near...
but for now, always tired and sore do I fear.

Baby Boy

My second son has been such a joy each and every day...

the same as my first with similiar but different ways.

Timid, a thinker, an observer at that...

strong willed, a bit stubborn but as sweet as Dad.

He, I always pictured in my life but thought I was doomed...

from the pain and non-stop surgeries that constantly loomed.

I made it through, although 10 years brings change...

on top of the ass, pregnancy brought on additionally exaggerated aches and pains.

An emergency c-section was not the plan,

but my son was born healthy and I made it through again.

To my face each day he and his brother bring me a smile,

as I reflect on how much I love them and how worth each mile!

Camp

I am missing my oldest who is off at camp,my son...
for the first time away and hopefully having fun.
Learning new things, becoming more independent...
with childhood fleeting like it came and just went.
I remember the day he was born, on my due date in fact...
though stars I did see... my ass still in tact.
The things he has taught me, invaluable you know...
the children have wisdom not clouded or slow.
They are quick to say what they feel or they see...
and the frankness and truth,
are sometimes shocking though free!
His first time away, anxiously awaiting his ring,
to hear what he says and to hear what he sings.
Are they nice, behaved, and the germs all in check...
and...are they at 11 swapping the deck?
Is it fun, did he find something new he likes to do...
is he homesick, made friends and please not feeling blue.
I miss him, he's calling tomorrow indeed...
with smiles and positives I'll be waiting to see!

The Beach

Missing the beach so soon the second I laid in my room.

Although, wiped out and always tired...

I trudged through while still on fire!

The beach , the dunes, the cottages, the view...

so peaceful and breezey to good to be true.

I look around to capture the scenes...

the feelings one gets you know what I mean.

Kelli O

Kelli O'Donnell...r family week!

Very nice of her to take the pic...and thanks for the hadIT's and twisty guys!

PTOWN

Nothing like the real beach.

Nothing like the end of the road.

Nothing like the breeze and pine trees...

if only in time I could freeze.

Nothing like the sun, and Pier alike...

Nothing like the narrow streets and all the many bikes.

Did I forget to mention the beauty of the grassy Dunes...

or how much it plays my favorite tune?

Totally Tired

I am totally tired. Tired of being tired, tired of trying to pretend I am not tired...to everyone around me.

I am tired of putting on a happy face when I am bursting at the seams.

I am tired of having to explain my medical condition to friends, family and strangers alike because nobody can quite understand.

I am tired of putting my life and dreams on hold due to chronic excrutiating pain.

I am tired of not having the energy physically and emotionally to complete routine daily activities I always took for granted.

I am tired of living in a town where the majority is swollen with ignorance.

I am tired of being harrassed by neighbors with nothing else to do.

Tammy Faye was tired too...but stayed positive even when she knew. She was my eyelash inspiration all the way to the end.

Britney is apparently tired too...let her be...and do what she want's to do.

Rosie was tired too of all the nonsense on the View. Now she's free to be...herself...which has inspired me.

I am inspired to remember that others have it worse...it's just sometimes hard to handle how much it always hurts!

Be positive and always have hope.

Day by Day

Each and every day, I try to look away...

but in order to provoke there are new pics and things each day.

From the things I say on the phone...there are new additions on their home.

Boredom and jealousy is the driving force...which seems to escalate daily of course.

I will not sit quietly while being plucked...feather by feather like a sitting duck.

Notice the little guy hanging on the box...

you tell me if that's crazy like a fox?!

In the other photo notice the cameras four...

No, nice try, NOT security...not pointing at all our doors.

Breaking of stones everyday...

and EVERYONE knows that's how you play.

Garage, house, even the trees

from the birds, to the rooster and probably the bees!

I meant what I said, we mean you no bother,

we've all left you alone but then you try even harder.

Why? What is it that miffs you so much...

when nobody even stays in touch?

You were even nice once or twice to everyone on the block

and suddenly turned to all's amazement and shock.

Don't be mad and boil to a BUBBLE...

when you hear all the chatter and restart the rumble.

Rumble of nonsense and nutness it is,

the burning flame all night we both know what it 'tis.

No need to think you're being sutle...

when it's interpretation is obviously not meant to be muzzled.

Free speech and expression is all's right to bear,

only sometimes it's used hatefully...

to relish other's despair.

Who am I kidding, we know you don't care...

as long as you are engaging someone and playing unfair.

Leave me alone, like I do you...

and stop eavsdropping unless you want to hear what's TRUE!

SHAAZAAAAM!

Sunshine

Sunshine is warming, it's bright and brings light...
everyday it sets somewhere and starts out the night.
It brings solice and joy and growth to the trees...
and and always a smile to my face if you please.
Though it's effects can be harming to the skin we all know...
the life you feel basking in the rays, is hard to let go.
It signals spring and summer as we await the warm seasons...
and brings people together for all types of reasons.
Take some time and see what you see...
nothing like sunrise or sunset... please believe me.

Nice Neighbors

Why does one break stones

without even having a throne?

Why would one digress

after making positive progress?
At least understanding and courtesy

I try to be aware when I see.

The admiration of flowers and trees,

makes no difference for the invasions they please.

I don't antagonize or try to rise

the heat beaming through the others eyes.

Nice to start but only for short,

hence the nice neighbor routine quickly aborts.

Tensions ensues not from me but from you,

only to disipate with time but not hate.

Apparently, I'm wrong by the things you display,

though my anguish and fairness don't eliminate my from your prey.

Not the same speed...

but neighbors indeed.

Awareness and tolerance in life is free,

for you to learn and embrace to you from me.

The self righteousness and audacity blow my mind

each and every f....n' time.

Why me, why us, why them do you do?

Although niceness is all we've given you!

Paranoia and jealousy is ignorant and unessecary...

why don't you STOP being so damn scary?!?
