Pages

Welcome to my blog. I will post whatever I am working on, whether it be a creative writing piece, random blip that has made my day, or an opinion I would like to share with the world. I hope that you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing!

All ideas are my original work. I do not take credit for work that is not mine. I may borrow pieces such as comics, definitions, or quotations, but will never pass someone else’s work off as my own; I will either credit their source or make it clear that I am not their author. I merely use these as either bouncing boards from which my own ideas can take off, or wish to share something that I found worth repeating.


Remember, today is not simply something to get through, but something to treasure. So smile and enjoy it!!!

Petals

Fresh petals like blood

On the clean fallen snow.

The verdict is out;

He loves you not.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Change of Labels

I wanted to announce that posts that have previously been labeled “poems” are now under “creative writing.”  I have made the change to incorporate a broader horizon of pieces, and make it clear which posts are fictional, and which are factual.  You will still find poems under this label.

Change Someone's Life Today

The smallest gesture can make someone’s day, or may even change that person’s life.


Be nice and friendly so someone you never talk to, or hold the door open for the person behind you. 



One act of kindness can spread like wild fire, lighten the mood of your neighborhood, and come back to you in unexpected ways.  You never know until you try!

Coping


     Death sucks.  No way around that.  It’s how we handle the loss that either makes us stronger or makes us more afraid.



     Losing a loved one hurts in a way that is impossible to describe to someone who has never known that type of pain.  It cuts away at you in the deepest cannels of your being.



     How do you move on?



     Everyone says you have to let go.  That person is better off now.  It is selfish to be sad.  Etcetera.



     But sometimes you just can’t.  Forgetting means letting go of a wonderful part of the world.  



     We cope.



     We all do it differently, but we all do it. 



     We cope.



     We may cry at the sight of everything that reminds us of the person we lost.  We may blast music in attempts to drown out our pain.  We may burry ourselves in work so we do not have to think about it.  We may avoid talking to anyone who may bring up the subject.  We may binge eat or over exercise.



     We cope.



     We TRY to cope, in any way possible.



     Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.  Sometimes it just delays allowing us to feel how we need to feel.



     It is okay to cry.



     It is okay to get angry (but don’t do anything stupid).



     It is okay to cope.



     For anyone who has lost someone that they hold dear, I hope you find peace and comfort, and enjoy every minute with your loved ones to their fullest.

Almost Isn't Good Enough

     I know we have all heard it when we have failed at something.  "Almost isn't good enough."  Almost is FAR from good enough in the real world.

     Can you imagine if everything simply ALMOST happened?

    "I almost ______.:"

-had enough gas to get back home
-remembered to come and get you after school
-gave you money to buy food for the week
-paid my bills
-got to the hospital in time
-stopped that terrorist attack
-cured cancer
-survived

     What would we do if no one actually DID what they were supposed to?  Almost does not get you to the finish line.  Almost does not save the day.  Almost is most certainly, not good enough.

     When you say you are going to do something, you do it.  "Try" is another word that can set people up for failure.  Do what needs to be done to completion.
