POEMS
BLISS
rolling hills,
snowy slopes,
elderly oaks,
long prairie grasses
sneak through the snow.
animal prints
mess its decor.
winds swirl,
sun caresses,
the bends and curves,
pink orange and purple
smear the horizon.
some winter resort,
no my home!
TREASURES
brown eyes,
ornery smiles,
dimpled cheeks,
hair tousled from sleep.
backpacks flying,
shoe tying,
bus waiting,
kiss before "they" see.
bickering mouths,
playful teases,
small battles,
chases around the house.
sweet kisses,
snuggle requests,
bedtime rituals,
lay with me please.
treasured memories
a mother's world.

a message in a bottle
Hey you. Are you aware that the world may end tomorrow and you are still in some time warp from your journal, writing the same things you did 15 years ago. Same ideals, same complaints, nice job moving forward there slick.
This would be my subconscious talking to my conscious mind after I reread some of my journal entries from at least 15 years ago. Thanks for reminding me I am still stuck like chuck.
Note for new year, GET UNSTUCK ALREADY.
Looking for motivational or inspirational help to move forward instead of sitting in the backward motion. Also giving advice, don't go reread your journals, may cause heavy drinking.

Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,When funds are low and the debts are high,And you want to smile but you have to sigh,When care is pressing you down a bit,Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,As every one of us sometimes learns,And many a failure turns about,When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer thanIt seems to a faint and faltering man;Often the struggler has given upWhen he might have captured the victor's cup,And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out -The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,And you never can tell how close you are -It may be near when it seems afar;So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Blessings from me to you...
May the passions guide you,
Where your head holds you back.
May the brightness of the day,
Bring the truths to your dreams of night
May life’s little treasures,
Dance upon your toes,
And make your heart giggle,
About the goals you call your own.
May love’s ever gentle hand,
Hold you when you are weak.
May you always feel protected,
By the magic that I speak.
Hold close to the wants,
Of the life you call your own.
You have everything inside,
Just turn over the stones.
May the drummer in your heart,
Beat the drum that he must drum.
May you never feel alone or blue,
Someone is looking out for you.

This would be my morning view from my living room window. The view is limited by the camera lense, so you can not truly appreciate the panorama of my oasis.
I always envied people who had what I call their "Walden Pond". I have read Henry David Thoreau's "Walden Pond". I even visited the national park in which he originally stayed in a cabin for two years observing nature and philosophizing about it. The area was a disappointment because over a hundred years have passed and people have overpopulated the area to the point the park closes due to too many tourist. Still I got the idea in my head that I wanted someplace where nature could flow through me and I could still be close to civilization.
I now have my version of "Walden Pond". Life is good!!!
Jasmine
JASMINE
Courageous, strong, assured
Positive and coordinated
Strawberry blonde hair, with a great complexion,
Small button nose, green eyes,
Long eyelashes on an oval shaped face,
And an athletic medium build.
Intelligent,
Well versed, adaptable
Proud but not arrogant, humble but not passive
Assertive not aggressive, elegant not gaudy
Whimsical
Ready for the moment
Chameleon
A lover but also a fighter in what she believes in
Passionate, empathetic, honest, pure of heart
A writer who produces
Not a writer who does not follow her dreams.
Adventurous
Ready to take on any challenge
Her attire changes with her moods,
No set style except that of her own.
One day smart and conservative,
The next, sexy and alluring,
The next, jeans and a t-shirt
Willing to get dirty,
Let life be not consumed with perfection.
Relaxed above all
At peace with herself
I wish I were Jasmine.
