politicos

Being in a fairly libral state, it is sometimes frustraighting when you cannot help canidates running against people who have different political views or are pushing a hidden agenda. Since that is the case, I will add a link to spport a canidate running against Santorum in Penn. Please visit http://www.chuck2006.com and rememebr to support canidiates who support your issues and views.

Relaxation at its finest

Peaceful drops filter through the air and
collect against the soft grass that
caresses your feet.
Warmth blows quietly through the branches of the oak at your back.
Words breath into life as this summer afternoon turns dark
as we slip into the world at our fingertips.

Something stirs the imagination
causing the heart to jump, and the pulse to race.
Peace comes only to be lifted again into
the passions that follow through to the last page.
And we close with a feeling of completion and
satisfaction.

Rest enters our still bodies. A calm soothing feeling
we seem to be all too willing to forgo
‘cause soon we stand and walk back into life
with the rush to deadlines and the lack of time
and we are the cause of the roses wilting in the yard.
Iris’s bloom and are forgotten,
the picture just a memory in the head.

And we wonder if we will ever get back

the time to sit, and enjoy.

Quiet, peaceful.

Relaxation at its finest.

Just another Monday

So here it is Monday again. I did not get as much writing done this weekend as I would have hoped I would but what can I do...stop procrastinating I guess. I should be able to post something again soon as I am working on a short story and it is almost complete, although rough. I have decided some of my writing has gotten a little similar so I am going to work on changing it up a bit if I can.

It snowed this weekend, which is always nice. It makes everything clean and white, at least for a few hours. until the dirt creeps in or it starts to melt and it is less fluffy and pure.

Still discussing baby thoughts on this end and I just cannot decide if I am ready for it. To be honest, the thought freaks me out a litte bit. So may things I want to do but I also don't want to wait forever. I am sure it will come but until that time, I'll just keep plugging along.

I was suprised to see my first comment on the blog this morning when I checked in. Who'd have thought?

Work Crush

"I have the biggest crush on him! He is so cute and tall, and smart. I smile when I think of him and get all giggly. But I am married! What am I feeling this way? Are crushes okay?" one of my co-workers just told me over lunch. She went on and on about one of our other co-workers, who is very atractive, but she is feeling guily because of it. She does not know what to say. I was not sure how to repsond. She is married and does not know what to do...well, she is not going to do anything but it is weird to have a crush one someone you can't have. What would you do in this situation?

I told her it is a crush, she'll get over it and all will be fine. But what do you do in this case? Hmmmm.

sporatic at best

So I guess the best way to discribe my writing here is sprotatic. While I would like to think that I started this to keep me writing daily, it has been far from the truth...of the matter at least. What am I to do? Stop procrastinating I guess.

Part of the issue is trying to figure out what I am doing I guess. Is this a journal? A place to put up some stories? Why am I doing this? to start off, I guess my thought had been for writing and posting stories and such. But now I kind of feel that as long as I take the time to write something....that is better than nothing. And at this point, it is not like anyone is actually reading it so realistically, it is a place just to put down my thoughts.

Oh well, I guess we shall just continue and see where it takes me.

Speaking of which, I came across a blog of a guy in San Francisco that take great photos. Thought I would pass the info along:don't touch my food.

I have also been visiting :towleroad. for a daily does of what is happening in the world. Very interesting stuff.

we survived

So we survived Africa. What a whirlwind of a trip but it was completely crazy and enjoyable. I want to go back. It was one of the most incredible things Ihave ever done in my life. I cannot believe we actually hiked a mountain in Africa. The scenery was something out of the movies. I don;t have time to discibe it all right now but will soon.

The problem with a trip like that is it reminds you of all the places you have ever wanted to go and just don't have the time or money to do it. Anyway, just wanted to say hello. Some pics shortly. Now onto the next big adventure....babies.
