Way Behind

I have noticed that I am way behind when it comes to finishing the things that I am supposed to do lately. I cannot figure out exactly why but I know that I am preoccupied.

The holidays are here, and I am busy with gift purchases and plans. I am also wondering about a certain friend. I am worried and they keep telling me not to be.

I have seen the manipulation they are being put through, but they cannot see it. It is nothing that can be proven to them and it is up to them to see it. The circumstances would make a great book if it were not someone I care for being put through the manipulation.

I have seen this before, lived it before. I will not live it again, but I have learned that it is impossible to make those being used see they are being used. It is even harder when the one using them acts as a caregiver. 

What do you do when you have no idea what to do? Until next time don't let flowery words and sad stories manipulate you.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
