An OK life...

I was looking thru some images and decided to post this one as it reminded me on this freezing cold, rainy morning that cattle feeding time is upon me. On a good note, that means that I get to spend more time with our cattle and they love me since I am their food bearer but on a not so great note the driver's window on the feed truck is broken (again) and it will be sooooo cold till there is a new one installed! Boo on cold mornings! :'(

Just do it. :-)

Living...

Tip toe, don't upset, never mention wrongs, absolutely do NOT be less than perfect... Because if you do, ohhh if you do... That'll be the end of you.

Tip toe, work faster. No time to worry about what you want, what you like, who you are... Do as you're told when you are told and you won't have to see the other side of me... You won't like the other side of me.

Tip toe... I wonder what could be worse than constantly being torn down, criticized, made to feel worthless, picked apart... Please kick me while I'm down. You don't need your boots on, your words do enough damage on their own.

Tip toe... I forgot to tell you that you are perfect... God like. I love living under your heel where your love shines the brightest.

Hopes soaring

I've still got something left to prove to you. It tends to keep things moving, swirling around me like a feeding frenzy. Everyone around me has their say but what the hell do they think they know? I've got my head above the water while they're drowning in the undertow. Let's leave no words unspoken. Break it to me now and save your regrets for the broken. Will you even look back when you think of me? All I want is a place to call my own, a place to call home. Somewhere to mend the hearts of those who've gone through this life feeling alone. I only know how to keep my hopes soaring and my head down low. 

Love is the light

It is often said that love hurts. But the reality is that love is the only thing that makes the pain of everything else worthwhile. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Having to pick up the pieces when someone walks away, that hurts. But love... love is the only thing capable of covering up the pain. Love is the only thing worth suffering through the pain for. Love is the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. It is what keeps us hoping against hope that someday our heart and soul will be filled with with it's wonderfulness! 

You and me

Our story may not have a clear beginning, middle, and end. It may not have started out as a fairytale and it might not be perfect all of the time. Life is about not knowing, having to change and grow, taking the moments that you're blessed with and making the best of them, without knowing what's going to happen next. Make time for the moments, and don't discount the value of an evening spent dancing around the living room barefoot. It is the moments and the love in them... the love given and the love made that make this beautiful, crazy thing we call life worth living.

Sigh.

You've completely cut my life apart with a pair of shears. You've already made changes in my life that I've been needing for years. To all of the people who feel that relationships that move quickly burn out in the proximity of the sun, I ask that you search for yourself and if you're lucky enough to try one. Find a person who makes your emotions higher, who makes your heart flutter, your words stutter, your mind swim and sets your grim thoughts on fire. Never ever have I felt like this, my heart and mind are filled to the brim with bliss. I'm waiting for our next kiss. Your genuine soul glares through elementally, for those of us who have tasted dust, dirt, and pain, though thunder, lightening, and rain... You are so very and truly amazing. The flames of my heart are blazing...

Good enough...

here have I assembled
the remnants of the moonlight
that shone in the window
of that high open floor

for there after midnight
I heard in dark skies whispers
the secrets only I remember
here among the shadows of love.

I will do all that I can,

with whatever I have, 

wherever I am...

And I'll let good enough

be good enough. 

Be You.
