Let me get this straight...
Columbo you are not.
Celebration
Sometimes victory comes in like a rush of elephants. Sometimes it falls like a soft rain on a warm day.
Tense
It’s been over two months. I can feel the stress building inside me like a dark acidic bath, washing my guts and leaving me searching for relief.
Grit my teeth and smile
I know your tricks. I know how you try to make me angry. How you say hateful things when you want to put distance between us. How you need me to be a jerk or your guilt will crush you for how you...
Dragging Feet
I have to call and I don’t want to do so. I pretend I’m not putting it off. There’s always a reason to delay. Time isn’t stopping for what I want, though. No matter how much I want things not to ...
Coffee's Ready
Today’s a day. What will it bring?
My Empire of Dirt
Not Yet
It’s not fair. You have chosen a course. Stick to it.
Like the Spanish Inquisition
You get to the point in life where everything slows down and all your problems are behind you and you are looking to the future. You don’t expect to suddenly find yourself alone.
When your day is long
We’re not going to be playing REM and moping. We could probably use a drink. But we’re not going to do that, either. Hang on.
Corporate Accounts Payable
This is Nina speaking. How many I direct your call? Bizarrely, I don’t really get a case of the Mondays. Monday is always exciting for me. It’s the day I feel most in control ready to seize the d...
You can do side bends and situps
I cannot express appropriately what a fan I am of Walmart’s salad bags. They take about 2 minutes to mix and last about three meals for one person. Getting back into the gym has been easier than ...
There's That
At least the dog misses me.
Forward Motion
I found out a self evident fact this morning at about five-thirty. I used to run. I like running. Last year I tore something in my knee and quit. When I went to get back in shape this year, I fig...
A Lesson
“I watch these goats we have. They eat until they are not hungry, and then they lay down until they are hungry again. “Nothing ever occurs to them. They have no goals, no aspirations. A goat will...
And when they were up they were up.
Looking for one of those “You are here.” icons on the map. If you were to ask how I was doing I would have to tell you I just don’t know. Life is spinning in circles and I am getting sucked into ...
And he shall reign forever and ever
Handel’s Messiah
All Good Things
Today everything ends and everything begins. Where we go from here, I do not know. My life is no longer my own. Let us hope we make it full circle, stronger, better, renewed. You can do it. I kno...
A Crack
I saw it and therefore I hope. It’s not gone. I pray to God it doesn’t go. Give me time. Please. his can’t be it.
Utility
Staying busy is an art. Planning out the day and the future. I refuse to lay down and quit, so the question becomes what is next? Practical steps to get resettled, but also hobbies, events, inter...
A Week
It’s Monday. Another week started. Time seems to have slowed down. I feel like I have more time to do things which is weird because time is the enemy. It’s like a slow motion car crash where ever...
Baby Steps
First the fish. Then the chickens. Next dad. Helps to have a plan.
Who am I to disagree?
I had my first dream about everything this morning. Two separate scenarios where I had lost all control and everyone I cared about or should care about me turned on me and took her side. Simple s...
Movement
Is there a word for being productive, but moving in the wrong direction? I’m sure the Germans could help us out with that.
Then sings my soul
Lying comfortably in the pre-dawn light, listening to the soft patter of raindrops on the window. Light flashes against the shade followed lately by a lingering, playful rumble. My pleas whisper ...
