A place to show my work
“First, forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won’t. Habit is persistence in practice.” ―Octavia Butler
I’d love to partake
In a colony of fun
Where worries shrink
And laughter’s never done.
With friends gathered nearby,
Joy glimmers like the sun,
In every shared story,
Our spirits become one.
Colorful skies above,
We dance through the day,
With hearts light and free,
In this vibrant ballet.
As twilight approaches,
We gather ’round the fire,
With whispers of dreams,
And tales that inspire.
So, join me, my friend,
In this place we create,
A sanctuary of joy,
Where happiness awaits.

Your challenge for this week
Suddenly, everything became blurry and dark,
A world once clear, now lost its spark.
Visions faded, like a misty dream,
Reality shattered at the seams.
Oh, heavenly cow
Where have you been all my life
With glorious milk.
With each mouthwatering drink
A lost memory appears

We would lava to visit Mt. Vesuvius for International Mountain Day. We’re gushing to make the trip.

Well today I had to work. The part that sucks is that it is only for a couple of hours which drives me mad when I have to work on a Saturday and I have to do that two times a month.
Besides that, I had a pretty good day. I used a different theme for my blog and changed it, and I have to say I am digging it right now. I will have to see how long before I get the itch to change it again.
Is it me,
Was it something I did?
Do I need to change?
I will gladly do that to have someone who cares.
I search for the light,
In shadows of doubt,
Wondering if love,
Is still worth the route.
If I bend and I break,
Will the pieces align?
Will you see the real me,
Or leave me behind?
With open hands,
I offer my heart,
In hopes that the journey,
Is just the right start.
So tell me your thoughts,
Let’s clear the air,
For love is a treasure,
When two souls truly share.
Sally was saddened, lost and forlorn,
Fearing her treasure was forever gone.
As tears threatened to fall, her heart in despair,
She searched high and low, her anguish to bear.
Placing her hands on the bed, a glimmer of hope,
To her surprise, her treasure was within scope.
Not lost, but misplaced, a joyous revelation,
Tears of happiness rolled, an end to her frustration.
“The two most important days in your life are the day you’re born and the day you find out why.” —Mark Twain.
I’ve decided that tomorrow I’ll redesign my blog. If it doesn’t turn out the way I want, I can always revert it back to the previous version. If I don’t make this change, it’ll just linger in my mind and drive me crazy! 😂
Today was a pretty laid-back day, which was nice after such a hectic week—or really, a hectic month. I took some time to relax, something I haven’t done in a while.
Yes, I have had the opportunity to perform many times throughout my life. In elementary school, and continued through high school, where I became actively involved in both concert band and marching band.
