Where Imagination Knows No End

Imagination. Creation. Discovery. Worlds upon worlds. It never ends. It last as long as you it's finest creator wishes it to. Childhood. Yes it's most prominent during our youth but even as adults we can still imagine the impossible. Dreams. Magic. Hope. Within the world of imagination we can be anything we want. We can see anything go anywhere try anything all within the safety of our minds. Books are great for aiding in that perhaps you should read one, go ahead I dare you to. You really ought to try it. Make believe. Escape reality. It will set your soul free. At least in my opinion. As for me I get the joys of living in an imaginary world quite often because of my job, it's absolutely wonderful. What would I imagine you might ask? Let me give you this one insight into my impossible mind in hopes to bring you deeper into my world. Look at the picture you see with this. See her standing there merely a silhouette against the blue scene before her. Close your eyes with her. Take a breath. Now open and look around as you've submerged yourself into the sea. You're now one with this life, moving as the current flows. So graceful so peaceful. A school of fish swim past. A whale. A ship above. Sun rays dance through the water's surface. Bubbles float around as you drift along seeing such color such life such beauty. You catch a ride with a dolphin. You leap high out of the waters only to safely drop back in. Float to the bottom. Walk along. Push yourself up into sea. Turn around. Take it all in. Close your eyes. Take a breath. Open and see her standing there again looking in. Now, my favorite secret, welcome to my world.

Rain and gloom

Rain rain go away come again another day......such a silly childish song we all tend to sing even as adults. It seems like it's rain for nearly 2 days now with much flooding occurring. It makes me just want to sleep. To be depressed. To cry. To be nothing. Still rain brings life. It nourishes the earth and tends to the life upon it. Without rain we'd all surely die. Yet why does it make us feel so down and gloomy.  One of those mysterious of life I suppose. The rain will stop the sun will return till then I'm going back to bed.

Ho...hum...humbug!

Christmas is nearly here, two days away to be exact and yet I'm just not in the holiday spirit. I don't know why though I've always enjoyed it and the magic it always brings. Could the nearly 70 degrees weather we're having be a reason why? Could my father's impending heart surgery be a factor? Could all I've gone through since June play a part? I don't know. So I say humbug to it all and let it pass by like another day.  Yet still it just seems like something is missing some reason why I just assume to avoid it but I don't know what. Maybe next year be different maybe not. Maybe since I'm pushing 33 the magic has left me. I really don't know how to explain it I guess it's just one of those things. So to all I hope the upcoming holiday brings you the joy I cannot find and that everyone stays safe and quite happy. So till next time my dears ta ta farewell and all that jazz.

Reflections

A reflection can be so many things. It can either show you who you are or change your perspective all together. Windows, mirrors, water, shiny metals, screens, oh so many ways to see your reflection. Find it. Look. Study. Think now what do you see looking back. Do you see your flaws and hardships? Do you see everything you wish you could be? Do you see dreams and wishes lost? Stop here. Did I guess your thoughts correctly? Did you only see the negatives looking back at you? Tell me why is that. Why is it so easy to see the lies, deceit, the hurt, to see everything we're not. Yes we are imperfect we're only human right. So we mess up we make mistakes. Now look again. This time see only the positive. Come on I know you can do it. See your beauty for who you are. See what you have accomplished thus far in life, careers, college degrees, families, home, jobs, helping others in need even if it's only a kind smile. So tell me can you see it? Come on now do it just for me it will make me happy. Look at your reflection and smile because no matter what you wish to see I know you're beautiful and I know you have accomplished good things. Therefore you should be able to smile and know that reflection you see is of a wonderful soul who lives the best they can and that my darlings is something to be proud of. So don't dread what you see looking back, instead be proud be very proud. Now tell me, what would you see in my reflection?

So many thoughts

I'm sitting here pondering so many different things so I thought hmmmm let's blog about it haha. I was thinking should I always include a picture with my posts or throw some in like this one that's merely words, without a visual image. Do pictures really make it better? Perhaps. And why do people get so crazy acting this time of year and drive like fools and get horrid rude. Yet act so normal all other months. Why was it 40 something degrees yet we ran around town without coats in December? Have we gone crazy? Possibly. Why does the weekend go by fast and the week so slow? Why do radio stations insist on playing Christmas music non stop starting in November? Why is my cat so mental? Why am I posting so many questions? Randomness I rather enjoy it because I like to keep people guessing what will she do next. Hey someone has to keep you on your toes might as well be me. Think I'm going to cut this short besides it nearly 11 pm and this lil gal is tired so ponder the many questions of life but only focus on the ones that directly affect your life, ones you can answer. After all we're not supposed to know all the answers some things are better left unknown.

Winter mornings

Ah.....winter mornings. Cold. Quiet. Bleak. Yet wait, but what do I see instead? Sunrise. Frost covered grass. Sparkling. Lingering fog catching the morning rays. Elegance. Breathtaking. Beautiful simply beautiful. Even on these bitter cold mornings one with a mind like mine can find such beauty in what lays before me. Seeing the sun's rays dancing in the fog, how the grounds twinkle and shine as the light hits it just right. How in such silence you can hear your own heart beating. In that moment one thing is quite clear you're alive and you're here with me capturing a remarkable moment in time. A treasured memory. Hope. Love. Life, one we all share together. So next time as you wake to a winter's morning instead of dreading it try seeing the pure beauty that only comes this time of year.

Squirrels, rabbits, birds....oh my!

Squirrels, rabbits, and birds are just some of the typical visitors we see in our backyard. Our house sits on about 3 1/2 acres and being an avid animal lover I kinda feed what I can. Bad habit I know but when you look out your window to see a large variety of birds and squirrels playing you can't help but smile. Occasionally we will see a pair of rabbits causing mischief among the main residents. Once we even had a fox! Oh my that one was a bit alarming considering it was daylight. We've seen deer, ground hogs, sandhill cranes, neighborhood pets, and more over the 17 years we've lived here. It's why I love country life. Animals give me a sense of joy and peace that people can't provide. I love watching them seeing who comes who stays who merely visits as their stories unfold before me. Their journeys and stories are something to be told. Maybe just maybe I will one day. Till then I leave you with this thought do you pay attention to the stories of others no matter how small? If not I wonder how much are you missing in this life.....

Light, Dark, Sunsets

I love sunsets. The way the sky can change itself into something so beautiful so simple. Light playing on shadows and light itself. How in the photo seen one half seems so dark while it shifts into lightness. Soft pink. Faint purple. Purity. Perhaps cotton candy mmmm some good eating there haha. Oh you sugary treat how you torment me so. Dissolves so quickly never enough. But wait. Darkness has moved in. The colors fade only to return much brighter with the morning sun. No two ever the same as the last. Each takes my breath away. So when you feel so stressed anxious sad watch the sunset let your emotions shift with the colors let them fade away with the light but avoid the darkness. Yet if you succumb to it remember the light follows the next day.

Let's Blog.....

Hello peepers! I got bored so I figured I'd restart my blog all new fresh and different. It's gonna be extremely random, wild, crazy, sad, and who knows what. My moods my thoughts they tend to vary day by day moment by moment but I figured this will be a good outlet for my head. I dunno we'll see how long it lasts right haha! Anywho I just have a lot on my mind and needed something to voice it out. Sad thing is when I do people have a tendency to read what they want or put words in my mouth. So to those people I'll just say screw you (yeah I kinda can be a bit mean when I wanna). I'm not filtering myself here I think I need this outlet so if you don't like my posts, my words, my thoughts well then.........stay off this blog got it.....it's that simple. So yes it's pretty new and rough looking this whole thing is still extremely new I tried blogging once and failed but gonna try harder this time. I'll make it look all pretty and me-ish later (don't ya love my words lol). So till next time enjoy your day and hang on for the ride of your life........
