Journal Entry 11
I woke up at 5 this morning, so much to do today, I feel myself bogging down already and I haven't even started the car.
I have to take my grandma to get her a new dress, she's not one to ever buy herself something so I'm glad she's stepping out of her comfort zone a bit. I hope she feels beautiful in whatever she finds!
I got the 4 serving trays done yesterday, my friend helped me engrave the flowers at each corner.
I love her, she's so talented! As I was sitting down on the step to sand the wood slab, I happened to glance over, and there on the porch rail was this huge...

Forgiveness Is Key
I forgive you!
I could hate you a hundred million times over, and quite frankly be totally justified in doing so.
But I forgive you.
I was searching for the purpose of me when you conveniently stepped in to mock me, to drag me through the mud, to slander me, to destroy my courage and subdue my faith.
But I forgive you.
I seen a giant hand, he picked me up and placed me in his pocket and softly patted me against his leg, as if to say there there, you are safe now.
I begged him to just keep me there.
I curled up in his warmth and cried...

A Tamed Woman With A Mustang Soul (Journal Entry 10)
I woke up this morning, thought to myself, I want to be different, I want to wake up lighter on the inside and outside. So, I slipped cardio into the dvd player, frustrated at the 15 minute interval, cause I couldn't keep up with the instructor, but for the first time ever, I decided to be patient and kind with myself. I don't care if I look stupid, I know I'm in here, and I'm gonna find me, as I grabbed a chair to rest while also doing leg lifts.
The burn in my body, red alerts in my rotator cuff and knee, still I slowed down and pushed through. Now, I'm sitting here, with a fully...

Birds are singing this morning.
My wind chimes softly hitting keys letting me know how it feels. It must be floating around in beautiful, for it's song is lovely.
I want to do something different with my hair for an event coming up this weekend, however I'm definitely a creature of habit, and I know just as soon as I start tinkering around with it, I'll be ticked off with regret. Lol
Idk, I'm getting so old.
I mean I know the toll the emotional struggle has taken on me internally, but then when I look in the mirror that war releases it's drill sergeant and he starts...

Insomnia If I Have To
The bows of your mouth with its quiver full of Snow White broad heads haunt me.
How ever did you manage to walk into my dreams so casually?
If God did not grant you permission nor do I.
Soft lips on soft cheeks, draw back to mark the spot.
A recurve with two pot holes on each side filled with honey.
Im satisfied that my own curves remember how to draw.
Inspiration?
Some nights I wake up with Arrows pointing straight across like spin the bottle at 16.
Does it matter that I may have urged the bottle with my hand if it was motivated by my heart? ...

ROY G BIV
There are rainbows in everything.
Your mind reminding your eyes to look harder.
Beautiful rainbows!
How do blues, red, indigo, orange, and violets become peach?
Did God behold the whole spectrum at once while deciding the final coat for each individual piece of creation?
Or did he intentionally hide the rainbow throughout nature so that he may reveal them to us on a lonely day?
On a day when everything is just too big so we focus on all that we can handle...the small things.
I refuse to believe there really isn't a rainbow in everything and I have only...

Well, I know it's been a few, but Ive been busy letting things go, stress mainly.
You see, we farm, and I think the older I'm getting the softer I'm getting. Lol
The other day, I had some kind of perspective overload, I looked at my penned up rabbits and just felt so sorry for them.
Like, they are a snow white big soft ball of love, and here they are locked up...by me.
So, I at that moment, went and unlocked every cage and set them free, all eight of them.
I expected the moment to be so big, like I'll set them on the ground and they will look at me, waddle their...

I've been thinking lately, dangerous I know...
But, I've been considering how I've handled situations in my life. If somebody wrongs me, I've always been the first to apologize just to make peace, so that my stress can subside. However, I have learned something in the process. Scripture says there are a few things that are never full in this life, the grave, and hell being two off the list. When I think about it, it's true. If you are by nature a people pleaser, it's not that you are fake, but I know for myself im starting to see it's because growing up, my relationship with my...

I'm A Crowd
Im only hanging on by a thread, if cruel intentions keep pushing, I will let go. There's no more pride, no ego, I'm nobody.
Ya know, it doesn't even take an army to destroy good intentions, I leave people alone, I literally live a solitude life, yet...let me tell ya about key players...
You can have a crowded room, a large mouth and ego on one side, a quiet and broken person on the other side, then all the folk in between.
So, regular chit chat from the other party goers just isn't enough for center of attentions.
They expect the quiet broken one to also show interest,...

Been awake pretty much all night, gonna be slow moving today for sure.
I fell about a year or so ago, tore up my rotator cuff, I went to the doctor about it, but he seemed to be more fixated on my chainsaw then my shoulder. You see I used to make chainsaw art, bears, pumpkins, benches. I loved it! However one day while visiting my grandparents, I was playing piano and stood up, grabbed my tea and wasn't paying attention cause I've took that route a million times, but unbeknownst to me my brother had a new fender for his car laying on the garage floor behind the piano bench. My clumsy...

Jr. League football playoffs today, pray they win, they've only won one game this year, and it was against a team that had lost all theirs lol.
Miracles do happen! They need the lift!
Suns shining, wind chimes sound beautiful, I've been up since four a.m cleaning.
Already fixed a pot of stew for dinner tonight, thinking about going to my family's and sharing with them. My parents are definitely showing strong signs of aging, not to mention my mom battling stage four endometrial cancer. She doesnt know that I know it's stage four. Her best friend devulged the...

Oh, yesterday? Well, I hate it when it seems like such a great day, then right as the suns going down, someone let's an attitude have the upper hand and tornados everyone's evening, just because the day didn't go as THEY had planned. Guess what sweetheart, if I had a nickel for every unforseen hurdle I had to jump in life, only after plowing through a few head first, I'd be a rich track star.
Get over it! Move on, understand your reaction to life happening effects everyone.
I mean, I keep quiet for the most part, but when you come attacking me when all I'm trying to do is make sure...
