Dry Eyes... erase my tears with your perverse chemistry\\\\\\take me back to when I could cry rivers for something real, a lost puppy, a kitten I couldn't keep, a love I couldn't save the heart song to keep them, I want to cry real tears!! I am angry and want to shout off the mountains, bring me home, I SAID BRING me home, where I can be just a girl... a regular girl, small viruses don't exist there....neither does cancer or mean people. all those things will go into the sealed box of never look back and shut up and stop running my life You will go into this box, be locked and no key will ever let you out! No the fairies sang no, no, no, hush wee little thing you aren't ever going to be that simple, nor are your friends. You have looked into the eyes of darkness, you have known the ones who have the sword and fight hard the dragon, no you little one will grow strong as a warrior child, and you will fight away the tears, you will love ...
Good morning dear friends. As usual I hope the sunrise finds you well. Some mornings I struggle, depression does that, but I've learned by finally combining therapy with meds I do have some control. Of course with that comes the choice. Do I succumb to the suffocating but familiar darkness, or do I take action?. Find distractions, head them off at the pass, make sure I'm not adding fuel to the fire. Therapy was a good thing, silly to wait so long, I've been there before and know it helps. Why do we resist? What I do know is the tools to change the day lay at hand. Those tools got me thru rehab and tx. Just misplaced them and needed a little help finding them. I can't say I turn every frown upside down-damn, that saying annoys me, but with a little conscious effort the visits are shorter and the darkness can now be felt passing thru and not moving in.I hope by now everyone realizes I'm not that enamored with myself, its just somebody, somewhere may feel as hel...
Check Up From The Neck Up By; Louis Buratti
Hi to all reading this, I hope it gives you a sense of balance in your life. "We all need a check up from the neck up !" By; Lou Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear. So too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to-do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It won't matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived on at the end. It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant. So what will matter? How will the value of your day...
Once upon a time, beautiful lessons learned and shared Upon entering "The Program" I had some kind of idea as to what it'd be like, though I really didn't think it would be an agenda taking priority over every aspect of my life. The amends I would have an opportunity to make were not to get something back, rather they were mandatory if I was ever to achieve a lasting peace within myself. It was in effect a way to say farewell to a lifestyle that was no longer appropriate, satisfying or conducive to my 'Recovery'. Of course, having completed an exhaustive inventory, and getting a good look at the behaviors involved, how could I possibly return to those old ways. Relationships were of a high priority. It wasn't about saying "I'm Sorry". Lord knows I've heard myself say it thousands of times. It was about owning the wrongs I've done, and turning away from and correcting the behaviors that were at the center, the ...
