Things To Get Rid Of

• Shoes that hurt my feet
• Clothes I don’t wear
• Archaic makeup
• Excessive bags and purses
• Negative thoughts
• Piles of paper
• Bad habits
• Inability to say no
• Compulsion to please everyone
• Bad luggage
• Old baggage
• Unnecessary things
• Moldy food
• Rotten remains of good intentions
• General garbage
• Inclination to start new projects without finishing them

What else? Your turn!

Lethargy

Stuck in the mire of my mind
Gratuitous guilt feeding on itself
Buried in the rubble of wrecked practicality
Incapacitated by shrapnel from emotional land mines
Recycled insecurities surface and create
Sustainable energy drain

Today Marks Ten

Many years ago I gave my heart away
There, it remains
It was split in two, an ocean in between
So it is today

Frayed and fractured, suffering another tear
Still, in the end,
A heart heals like other tissue and returns
None the worse for wear

To love or not to love

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."

- C.S. Lewis

Chillin on Cherry Street

Jazz in my ears
Caffeine in my veins
WiFi at my fingertips
You on my mind

Life's just a bowl of cherries... and a few cups of coffee
