  1. Listen

    Listen
    You are not my friend, we don't hang out, laugh, share, encourage each other, support each other.
    You are not my buddy- I don't call you when i need advice, input, a smack in the head.
    And yet, I can't hate you--
    I adore you
    I cannot survive without you
    You make my life miserable, yet complete me
    You can give me all I need to survive
    and all I need to destroy myself
     
    But I don't want to just survive,
    I want to thrive, live, yell at the top of my lungs...
     
    There's more than just you out there in the world.
     
    So, let's start a new relationship based on those facts...
    Truly we cannot live without one another.
    But I wish to take from you what I truly need
    and disregard the rest.
    I want to add words like savor, moderation, slow, nurture, and sustenance to our relationships
    So that I can add words like, delve, extreme, full-out, satisfy, create, embrace, and exuberant to
    the rest
    of my
    life.
     
    So, LIsten...
    Things are changing around here.
     
    You be what you are:
    fuel and sustenance and a nurturing source
     
    And I'll be what I am
    wild, free, sexy, alive, joyful, ready, unstoppable, complete, whole, enlivened, grateful, FULL,
    loving, amazing, incredible....
     
    Let's watch our boundaries, shall we, you and I?
    I'm pretty clear on mine.
  2. Waiting

    I keep waiting for something to happen,
    waiting to feel sick, feel pain, be annoyed
    I keep waiting for something to happen;
    waiting to wake up thin, be on my way.
    I keep waiting for something to start,
    Like a jack in the box will pop up and yell "Go"
    But I failed to realize that I won't hear him...
    I'm already too far down the track.
    I keep waiting
    waiting for a door to open or a switch to flip, a starting gun to sound,
    but I seem to be forgetting the gun sounded weeks ago.
    I keep waiting for movement
    but I woke this morning to realize
    I've started counting the quality of my days in light of future endeavors,
    the quantity of my days in light of decades to come....
    I've been waiting for someone to do something....
    SILLY ME,
    I'VE BEEN DOING IT ALL ALONG.
  3. oops

    Wow! So I keep thinking "I should get back to work." I'm feeling great...Yesterday was 7 days out and I went out to town for the first time. Did a little grocery shopping, rode around with a friend...I was out for about 4-5 hours...by the time I got home I felt like I had been hit by a truck!! So much for going back to work early!
  4. First blog...

    Drinking too fast!! I'm on day five and I feel like I want to get back to work already...then I drink something a little too quickly and am reminded that it is a good thing I took the full two weeks off!!
