Dave Matthews- Crush...

mmmm....this would make a good ringtone. Thank you Dave... :)

Hold On

Well I am not completely out of the dark woods yet...but as each day progresses I feel the heat of the inviting sun. Over the past couple of days I have finally started smiling again. I almost for got how it felt to smile and have hope. I want to encourage my readers to always remember there is hope. Things can certainly get dark and seem really....really bad, but hold on. If I can hold on I know that each and every one of you can.

A Brief Weekend Update

I am exhausted!!! I have worked the majority of the weekend and you add that to not feeling great...well folks that equals mega exhaustion. Things are looking up and I have been smiling really big all weekend. I am here to say there is hope. I once again want to take the time to say thank you to all my readers. I appreciate every comment and every email. You guys have inspired me to keep going when I did not feel like it. You have inspired me to hang on and showed nothing but love and support. Big love to all of you. Simply put each and every one of you are the greatest.

Now...I am in a nice warm hoodie, relaxing in bed, and waiting for the Super Bowl....might I add go SAINTS.

Despair to Calm

I float in a downward spiral.
Almost to the bottom of despair.
I gasp…gasp for air.
Nothing around me but darkness.
A glimmer of light shines from atop.
I fight…fight to stop.
In my heart, hope still exists.
You get through to me.
I reach…reach to see.
Play me your lovely melody.
Your words like honey to my soul.
I gradually…gradually become whole.
Now I feel the comfort you give.
Your touch like healing balm.
I feel...feel the calm.

Cowboy junkies - Hold on to me

I send you this message in a bottle. It will be okay...thus we are afraid of the unknown. We may be scared and want to run yet we give way to our thoughts and live freely. That glimmer of hope in our hearts that will pull us through. You are holding on for me and me holding on for you.

Going Femme

I admit it I went totally Femme today and aranged this little piece. I wanted to try to do something different. Don't worry I think I will stick to painting as you can tell by the table.

News about Gracie

I try hard not to get really personal in my postings about things going on in my life. As my readers you know when I am going through a hard time but I try really hard not to give reasons why. I wouldn't share the bad times but I value the support from my readers. I share the good times as well. I have no problem sharing the good things in my life. I honestly love sharing the good times with my readers. I think most of us can admit that the good times are easier to share.

There are some things that have to remain personal. There are just certain things that I share with no one. Sometimes even those closest to me haven't a clue. These are things that I keep hidden for my protection. At this point in my life it is really hard to share these things in fear of being hurt.

There is one thing that I do want to share with my readers because I know some of you are wondering. I am not going to go into details about the situation because it really is a personal. A few months ago I was able to rescue the best dog ever, Gracie. I absolutely adored her and loved her. It was good to come home to Gracie after a really bad work day or just in general. A couple of weeks ago I had to let her go. It was a tough decision and one that still keeps me crying even now typing about it. Things are really difficult for me at the moment but I wanted to share with my readers about Gracie, because she became a big part of my life and blog.
