My March Daybook


FOR TODAY
Outside my window...
is sunshine and new rose buds about to burst open.

I am thinking...about perspective. Life is full of choice, chance and change. You can't live life to the fullest without taking risks; yet taking too many risks may end to your life too soon.

I am thankful...for clarity of thought, being alive and my family.

In the kitchen...we're preparing for my Dad's 80th birthday party tomorrow.

I am wearing...blue denim shorts and a long sleeved, grey top. Contrast.

I am creating...new ideas and understanding about teaching students to read. We never stop learning!

I am going...to review my goals and emotional state. To say it has been a struggle lately would be an understatement. What do I need to do to help myself out of this hole?

I am wondering...how a certain couple of friends are coping at the moment. Loss, grief, disbelief and love surround their hearts and minds and I hope they can find a way to cope.

I am reading...lots of books to my kids every night. We've gone from stories about morals (i.e. integrity & honesty, believing in yourself etc.) to Geronimo Stilton to Boy V Beast! Hahaha, such an array of interests that my girls have ...

Around the house...party preparations, anxiety and lots of cooking.

One of my favourite things...is being in control of my emotions and thus my immediate environment. No such luck at the moment. I have learned to let go a little, but I have a long way to go!

Here is picture  I am sharing...this is me at my favourite waterhole -- smiling inside and out!





Waiting for you



We were planning to grow old together, but now you are gone.
I woke up this morning and it wasn't a dream, oh my heart is torn.

Torn between overwhelming grief and a stoic attempt to stay strong.
Torn between anger, hurt, disbelief and love because it all feels so wrong!

Please let me know you are alright, please come back to us soon.
I feel so alone right now, my heart is beating with an open wound.

Where is your smile, your warmth, your laugh and our love so true?
As the sun sets today, I will be waiting my love, I will be waiting for you.
