Blue Moon

Got up to see the Super Blue Moon in Eclipse but I will have to imagine it as the clouds kept it from being visible.

The moods of my life are like clouds that keep me from seeing the caring in my life.

Sunshine lifts the fog. Wind sweeps away the clouds. Time is the answer.

I weep and emotions fall across my cheeks. The tears carry off the feelings of despair and loathing I feel.

My mood is but a reflection . Not real. Much as the moon has no light of its own.

I am___. I am___. But I AM.

My mood is Blue. The moon is Blue. Both will change in time.

 

Inside looking out -Outside looking in

I look out and see the snow, Hubby checks to see if there is a parking ban on.

Socks,gloves protect the extremities.

Soon I will be out in it. The confused birds aren’t singing.

Cleaning the car so I can see what is coming at me is theraputic. I need to see them.  I need to get from point A -B.

Spoke my mind yesterday, cleansing but with predictable results.

Whether you are 3 or 13 or 63 it hurts to feel discluded and the target of anger. The process of dealing with it teaches me. I am brave!

Defining what I want and taking steps to protect myself. I am strong.

Recalculating. Set a course.

I am M.E.!

Bring it on

I am speaking my mind this morning after remaining silent. What’s the worst that could happen?

Time to reevaluate where I’m really going. Making a plan for the week.

This plan needs exercise not just a walk down the block.I got this!

Asking questions.

Saw Star Wars last night mostly because I read the movie schedule wrong. Strength doesn’t lie in numbers or books but within us and between us.

Soup cook off was a blast. I didn’t win  but I got to taste  15 different soup. Borscht won.

Snow is coming to hide all the mud and trash. The brown grass will look better covered with snow.

High energy today. Bring it on!
