You can make a list, throw everything on that "to do," </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But no one will wait for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finish each step, and plot your course with care. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you turn around no one will be there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hang on too long to relationships that don't work, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or worse imagine ones that never were. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will hit you that moment when in one deep breath you get it,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that the list will never end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You've put your life on hold, and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
waited too long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Choices have stolen dreams you thought would always be there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Imagined relationships will become clear, you are on your own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You and your list of checked off task are your longest relationship. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Try and crandle those in your arms. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do they look like you? Maybe have your mother's nose?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nope, didn't think so. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Fist bloody from clenching can't reach out to you.<br />

I see you, and I stay still.<br />

You are moving on?<br />

My knees are weak and tremble.<br />
<br />
I am falling. <br />

Strength, where are you?<br />

Turn away.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A frigid breeze is sweeping across the yard. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It travels in from Canada or somewhere far.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The entire house sighs from the weight of it pushing against the brick. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sigh too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The North wind is heavy and thick. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It holds.<br />
<br />
I feel it release. <br />
<br />
The fear is different each way.<br />
<br />
Tangled up in dreams of yesterday.<br />
<br />
I am ready to pack all my delicate things; like<br />
<br />
the robin-egg satin blue box with the ring, <br />
<br />
and move away. <br />
<br />
Its sharp red ribbon unfolds in flight.<br />
<br />
The rain is coming.<br />
<br />
Lightening blinds my sight. <br />
<br />
Clutching the box, deep to my chest<br />
<br />
my bare feet breach their dry nest.<br />
<br />
The plan is to walk.<br />
<br />
And to find where the storms start. <br />
<br />
Maybe clean my heart.<br />

40 will be declared the, "Decade of Mastery!" </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
My sassiness will be untamed along with my hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I will let curls go unchecked while I twirl in the rain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Painful scars will no longer guard against the possible joy of each day.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
People can talk and feel any which way, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it won't affect me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mastery. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ghosts that have haunted my inner thoughts will be thrown out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will finally be a friend to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopes and dreams from childhood will be exchanged for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the result of choices I've made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will celebrate them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alone I know what I did. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In solitary confidence I will celebrate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This body is strong. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This spirit is too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We rejoice its mastery.</div>

Talked a lot.</div>

Blindly feeding you my secrets.</div>

<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then you rolled over. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your cold shoulder was sharp. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It cleaved through my exposed heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clutching it I held it out to you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Exposed and scared about what it meant </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
You laughed and made other plans. </div>

That lone moon hung in the sky. </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Darkness fell all around. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grass, tickled by the light wind, gave way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sat there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watching moon beams slice the night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They didn't touch me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only the single cool breeze sat with me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Together we agreed to solidarity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love leaves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scratching and pulling like those moonbeams against the grass.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all have scars when it departs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The moon shrugged nodding toward the stars. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wind and I agreed acknowledging ours. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Letting go is hard. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a single angry puff the wind whipped through the field</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
chasing his heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look to the moon to feel less alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is too late.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has pulled a blanket of clouds shielding her face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tears fall as abundant as the grass in the field. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Letting go. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bars leave a long shadow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They drag slowly on my soul. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heaviness from their cold lock chill me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Till I can get them to let go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tug and dig my way through. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do it because I love you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

One hand out stretched the other clings tight to the present. </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wanting to change, reaching out for more...even though it hurts. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I stand reaching and thinking.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not wanting to let go, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not wanting to stay, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stuck in the purgatory of it all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

How can God give you what you deserve if you cling to the pain you know?</div>

He waits for you to let go. </div>

There is a station that crosses the hill near my house. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The trains run at midnight. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One blow of the horn, followed by chugging engines.<br />
<br />
It sounds like your heart. <br />
<br />
The scrape of metal sliding to a distant shore. <br />
<br />
Methodic. Heavy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hear your love leaving my bed. <br />
<br />
We both accept a sprinkle of days of happiness.<br />
<br />
Fear is the moat guarding our "ever after."<br />
<br />
We leave it. <br />
<br />
The risk seems too much to endure.<br />
<br />
The sounds of the train fade.</div>

Titled to the left, my knees crackled and popped.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The burdens at one time were sharp, heavy and dark. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, they are softer. </div>

Intoxicating innocence has been torn away. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Temperance monitors the small child within. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chipped away like old paint from a weathered barn,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
burdens fall, float away. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Peeled, they lighten.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thighs have strengthened from trial, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
can do more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just like my soul. </div>

Feel it pull?</div>

From down deep inside?</div>

Open up. </div>

All the way. </div>

There once was a girl that wrote a book. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It took a year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Words would hide, blur and escape her </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She came to a spot and wrote, "the end." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girl put the book away. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Disgusted at her story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not willing to share it any more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along came a challenge. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bruises from the first book had faded.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She had forgotten their pain. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girl took up the pen again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time the words were not so deceitful. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They flooded her in hurricanes, at night, during the day and when the music filled her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The story unfolded, quickly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its shape was pleasant to her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The characters were charmers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was in love. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girl didn't give in. <br />
<br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Literally, let my spirit free. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a deep release. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was tired of me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I understood.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You left me once.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe one day I will get that too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I buried a story today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It lived in my head. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Words wrapped out of soul and fell through my pen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The page was bright like the sun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now it carries the pieces of when we were one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saved it to a file. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did not know what name it deserved </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I gave it your's. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It sits uncomfortably in my hard drive. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next to the recipe for knock me naked brownies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not naked anymore. </div>

I'm coming up. </div>

It is lighter up there. </div>

I heard them snap and pop from the pressure. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
They wiggle with the freedom of letting go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My ears are crackling and want to burst.</div>

Your whispers fill them. </div>

It was a sun shiny Sunday. I stayed indoors. <br />
<br />
The temperatures were 20 degrees lower than normal. Hear it was great exercise weather. I did yoga. Well, I stretched a couple of times. <br />
<br />
The air is filled with pollen, maybe it is mold. At least that is what I think my headache and runny nose are trying to tell me. The wild, almost wet my pants sneezes make me perfect company.<br />
<br />
It is fall. It smells that way and the grass is already crunchy. The news said that they have already chosen the fried foods for the Texas State Fair. That makes it official. When has the state of Texas ever been wrong? <br />
<br />
Fall is hard. Damn gravity. <br />
<br />
Hearts get heavier. They almost need their own wheels. Maybe it is all the pollen and mold. It could be all of those holidays mashed too closely together, they make you think of the happiness you are missing. Or wishing you could come close to again. It is a lot of pressure for one season.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A window opened up yesterday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I caught sight of your soul dancing on a slow moving cloud. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You kicked my toe. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw that grin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, you winked. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God...that wink was eternal,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
maybe infinite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It hung my heart up on the sharp edge of the cloud.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was next to you,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
almost inside the warmth of your arms.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't want to come down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The world below was too dark, gray with intent.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should have said it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I needed to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You needed to hear it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your wink, and my heart were tied in a knot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We felt it, both of us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But no one was brave enough to put words to the feeling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I am left. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A girl, in constant search for you,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
looking in the clouds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Forever, doomed to shouting about the love </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't share</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with you. </div>

I had so many wonderful writing challenges, and opportunities. And in the midst of all this writing...there goes the computer. It put me on this horrible writing diet and jacked up the wonderful pattern and schedule I had created. Life is about adapting and getting better...I feel like I have. </div>

When I was a tiny girl I had a blanky. It was grey, soft flannel with satin trim. I loved that thin bit of fabric. I would weep big tears waiting for it to get cleaned in the wash and would be pouty till it was back in my arms. I knew early the importance that cloth sewn with love can have on someone. I knew that one day I wanted to make a blanky. It has been in the back of my mind. I put it on lists, several times. This summer it happen. I found a quilting mentor and my bestie and I formed our own little club with our sewing guru. The end product is a beautiful full size bed spread. It is amazing. The experience has opened a new world up to me. I loved it and want to do it again. Can't wait to start crafting my next project. (I will post pictures of the finished product later. )</div>

I have found the most delightful side effect of freelance writing...I get paid to learn stuff. I would be a professional student if I could afford it and this is the second best thing. <div>
After a year of this I am pretty sure I might be a genius. </div>

A dear friend...and very smart lady (<a href="http://jaimeehunter.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Aunt J-Me Says So</a>) suggested I start a new series..."Friday's Facts that Freaking Rock! I don't think she suggested this name...I really like to say freaking. Feels naughty. </div>

<li>There is a science called, "<b>Space Archaeology</b>." I am not even kidding. And no it does not mean they look for antique societies in space. But instead from space they fire down these lasers and can see 8-10 inches into the earth. I love this. Maybe because I always wanted to be an archaeologist till I figured out I would have to be outside. This fixes that so the dream can live on. </li>
<li>Did you know that Mexico fought with the Allies during WWII? Yup. Mexico sent an elite team of fighter pilots, <b>Aztec fighters</b>, to fight in the South Pacific. They faced racism, language barriers and when they came home there was a single parade thrown in their honor. The Mexican people felt that those that fought were acting as the whipping boys for the US so it was all brushed under the rug. </li>
<li>When the United States was in the depths of the Great Depression offers from countries outside the states came in to offer help. One of those being...<b>Uganda</b>. </li>
<li><b>Cleopatra</b> has never really interested me until this week. She was a strong amazing lady. Her parents were rumored siblings, she married her bother. When he died, she married her other bother. Not only did she become the lover of some of the most powerful men at the time but totally used it to secure her own dynasty...well until she killed herself. It is a pretty tragic story. </li>
<li>When I was growing up I was taught that all civilization started in Mesopotamia. Wrong! Complex civilizations formed all over the world about the same time scientist are thinking it had more to do with the changing climate. The discovery of sites in the <b>Supe Valley</b> in Peru predate Mesopotamia by a century. </li>
</ol>
Okay...now it is time to return to my laptop to learn more. I have a question for you, my dear reader...</div>
