Took this love for granted. Kept my feelings underground. Should have watered what I planted. Should have known what I have found. I'm not used to being lonely I don't like the way it sounds. You're the only one I know Who don't turn me upside-down

"...every day that goes by is a couple more lines in her diary"




LOVE! Maybe it's because I came across one of my diaries from High School and I still catch myself writing in one now ... Nothing like looking back to see how much you've changed and how you've opened up to life's possibilities.

"People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt, & you hear them cryin'. Can you practice what you preach? And would you turn the other cheek? Father, Father, Father help us! Send some guidance from above. 'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?"

When will this madness end on this sleepy little island that time forgot? Five people dead and One injured in less than 10 days.

Time (haiku)

naked wrist feels fine / somewhere my watch counts the hours / no time to worry

*patiently waiting*

This song always brings a smile to my face! I'd like to believe it was written especially for me!

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, 'til it seems as though you cannot hang on a minute longer, never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe

"Yesterday, I cried.

I came home, went straight to my room,

sat on the edge of my bed,

kicked off my shoes, unhooked my bra,

and I had myself a good cry.

...Yesterday I cried with an agenda."


— Iyanla Vanzant (Yesterday, I Cried)

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference ...

Ancient lovers believed a kiss would literally unite their souls, because the spirit was said to be carried in one's breath. I've always thought a kiss was so personal ... which is why I didn't kiss him the first time, I made a mistake and took it all in this time around, now I'm hooked, like bees to honey ...

damn.

I woke up, took a look in the mirror, then brushed my Smile on ...

had a hot shower, lotioned me down with Faith ... stepped into my Confidence ...

Pulled back my hair, touched up my Spirituality, then ran off to begin my day ...

I am all I need to be!

I am what I'm supposed to be!

I am FINE, fine, fine!!!
