I Lost Myself For a Bit

I can’t pinpoint when or where. I can’t put my finger on the why. It was a bunch of little things that carried enough weight. So much weight that I felt overwhelmed in every way. I could not see how to get out of my own way. I lost myself. I couldn’t remember the things …

What Competition?

There’s no better competition than yourself. I firmly believe that. We live in times that could make you go mad just trying to keep up, one up, size up the next one. I reject that mind set of believing that everyone is my competition. They are not. I am my own unique and authentic self …

Never Belated (day 4)

On the outside looking in, It seems like I overlooked you. I didn’t. You know full well. You stay squarely on my mind but life happens in so many directions demanding my attention, energy and focus.

One-sided ponytails secured with ball bands, jumpers and turtlenecks, yellow “gold” chains, white knee socks likely tinged with beige from the sand box, Buster Brown kicks, jump rope, handball, monkey bars and jungle gyms. /// Here’s to cafeteria pizza rectangle magic, juice in a carton, coffee cake, reading …
