You just never know what might pop out of my mouth at any given moment. I might be talking about my Indian Ringneck, or Full Time RVing. Maybe I'll be talking about the path to happiness or griping about the state of healthcare or maybe about chronic illness. I have lots to say and sometimes I'm just plain RANDOM.

Shadow Self


My spirit truly loves life
But mind and body disagree
Sometimes I feel so lost
There's a conflict inside me.
Nobody wants to hear it
Nobody wants to see
The twisted knots I've tied into
My dark reality.
My heart and soul are begging
To only share the light
But there's this part that nags at me
In the darkness of the night.
When everything is silent
The pain so deep inside
Bubbles up and plagues my mind
And there's nowhere to hide.
So I turn the light back on
Try to occupy myself
I know that it's still lurking
But I put it on the shelf.
It's not a part of me I like
I don't want you to see
But I know it's there and I must accept
It is a part of me.

The Christmas Gift


The Christmas Gift
------------------------
I see hope in the shining lights that sparkle round the grounds. 
I see love in the ribbons that decorate the town.
I hear joy in the songs we sing at this time of year.
And for a moment, well at least a month, I let go of the fear.
The magic that is Christmas abounds, just look and see.
It's not about the gifts or a decorated tree.
It's about the love, the hope, the joy, that lives within the heart.
It's not about just one day, but a day can make a start.
So today let's find forgiveness for all those little wrongs.
Today let's look within ourselves and find our truest song.
Today let's just be thankful for each and every thing.
And carrying this with us is the the true gift Christmas brings.
