This site contains my random thoughts, poetry, music and photography…I just want to share
Little Red Bridge
Little red bridge crossing the small stream
You seem like a long ago dream
From yesterday’s gone by
Cant resist to cross no matter how hard I try
Built of wood sturdy and strong
To cross this can’t be wrong
Slipping into the past as I pass on through
Yes I was right you are steady and true
Little Red bridge crossing the stream
Made me see the past like a dream
Simple Beauty
On display a single flower
Showing all its beauty and power
Not a bouquet as you can see
A single flower does not need a plethora to shine through
The same can be said for me and you
No need for more things to surround
For more beauty to be found
The beauty is something we all hold
Just need to find others that can behold
Beauty is simple as you can see
It’s all inside you and me
Today was a day for me…I have been dealing with a lot stress lately with work and life in general. You know how things can really start to get to you, well they finally reached that point and had to use a day for just me. It was amazing and so relaxing, this will definitely become a part of my life from now on.
My day started off where I knew I needed a day away so I called in and told them I needed a day off for some personal things, nothing more personal than taking care of yourself. I decided that I would meditate for approximately 10 minutes on each hour and in between do something that I really enjoyed…that included playing the guitar, doing some writing in both my journal and here with poetry and thoughts and doing a little photography work.
I can’t believe how stress free I am now and how healthy I feel. My mind feels clear and I have not felt this good about myself in a long time. Everything was about me and nothing else…taking care of ones self is one of the most important things you can do. Not just body but mind…giving a day to yourself just to be with your thoughts is even more therapeutic then a massage or a spa day…so give yourself a day and just be.
This experience has given me even more appreciation for meditation and what it can do for the mind and spirit.
You, you are the reason all this love in my heart
It was you I knew from the very start
The one I wanted to share my life forever and ever
And face all of life’s endeavors
Give me hope each and every day
This gift I will always try to repay
Hold my hand and show me you care
You my love no one has compared
Show me love with every touch
Give my heart a little rush
Each kiss upon your gentle lips
The sweetest wine I will ever sip
Make me smile when I need it most
You my love I always boast
For you are the one my life I share
With all my heart I love and care
Thankful
Family is the greatest thing you see
The luckiest man I must be
My family feeds my soul with love and affection
And gives my life purpose and direction
My wife which I love and adore
Gives me love I’ve never felt before
The puppies they loves with kisses and tails waging
On these two pups I am always bragging
Our cat cuddles like none I’ve ever seen
Just wants to be where you are
A son that has such a big heart
I knew I would love him right from the start
My family you see is the most important thing in my life
Bring me joy and happiness I feel every day
Makes my heart full with love that no monet can pay
So I treasure my family as you can see
Thankful for them each and every day
As anyone who follows me or has checked out my blog knows every once in a while I just have a thought; and today is one of those days.
I have dabbled with meditation in the past and it has always been a very calming and soothing for me. It has helped with stressful things and helped me stay focused on the now without getting distracted by outside forces. So in other words, I have found it a very useful practice. Unfortunately I had gotten out of the practice and find my mind wandering and my mood becoming very unbalanced, so today I have decided to dedicate myself to the practice using a couple of different apps out there…Calm and Inscape.
I will be using a guided meditation in the morning before work and after I complete a day of work with longer sessions and a mid day session that will just be a short session that is unguided. I am planning to make this a daily routine along with exercise. So you could say I’m looking for a new healthier me mind and body.
I hope to share my experiences with everyone and look forward to people letting me know their experiences with meditation and if it has helped. Have a great day and enjoy the world around you!
While I have only really been serious about blogging for about 2 weeks now; I have found it very liberating. I was never truly serious about sharing my writing with anyone before but now I can’t imagine not just writing and writing to just get all these words out of my head. I would call this a true revelation.
I know most of my writing is very simple, but I have always had words in my head that would roll around; and now I truly have the will and the desire to get them out. I hope in the near future I can start working on a book or something a little bigger but I will be taking things in baby steps.
So today I have been thinking of other things to add to my site and maybe the blog posts and I think I may have come up with an idea. My beautiful wife Stacey has been one of the greatest inspirations for my writing and May have a day just dedicated to her…this might become Stacey Saturday…we will see.
Remember to look for ‘Only photo Monday’….first one is this Monday.
Creepy Site
Oh the trees they cast a reflection upon the water still
Creates a mirror image upon the marsh below
The site is one to behold with camera in hand
To see this untouched land
The shadows and all creates a creepy site
But still the feeling is just right
Black and white hides the green moss
Seems to help create a creepy site
With all the color hidden away
Taken on a different view
This is what I love to do
Look at this marsh with different eyes
Way to see something so beautiful in a different way
To give a view in a different light
Make this marsh a creepy site
Sun Setting
The day it comes to an end
Say goodbye to the sun my friend
Beautiful day it was for sure
So I say goodnight for now
Watching you fade away
For tomorrow is another day
So I snap a shot to remember
This setting sun in November
Words Flow
