Wishes...

A poetic me - I wish for...
courage to chase my dreams,
challenges to enrich my life,
and knowledge to calm my soul...

An emotional me - I wish for...
laughter that comes easily,
tears that dry quickly,
and a love that is unconditional...

A materialistic me - I wish for...
a credit card that needs no payment,
a house that is a home,
and a holiday that lasts a lifetime...

A beauty queen me - I wish for...
world peace,
ending hunger,
and a cure to all disease...

A simplistic me - I wish for...
a spring in my step,
a song in my heart,
and a dollar in my pocket...

A dishonest me - I wish for...
nothing...

Why Do I Try... by Jann Arden

Love broke my heart
Love washed me out
Love made me sick
Love swallowed me
Love made me weak
Everything is bleak

Why Do I Try
Why Do I Try
Why

Love took my life
Love stole my pride
Love killed my dreams
Love made me mean
Love let me drown
Love led me on
Love is not my friend
Love is the end

Why Do I Try
Why Do I Try
Why

Love blinded me
Love took my glee
Love left me less
Made me confess
Love ended hope
Love stopped the show
Love broke it off
Love broke my heart

Why Do I Try
Why Do I Try
Why

Christmas

Well Christmas has now come and gone if a flurry of wrapping paper and beery cheers. I'm glad that it's come and glad that it's gone. I've yet to recover from the dash home, the crazy rounds of friends and relations, too much food, too little time and too much sitting around.

Each year I swear that I will act differently,a nd each year I act the same.

Today I was back to work. The office was half staffed, so the room was quiet and the workload was easy. Things got done but without the pressure and without the grind. The only bnad thing is that the coffee shops are all shut, so we had to make do with what we could find. Bring on the week after new years to return in the cafe scene around work.

Hope you all had a merry christmas. and that Santa missed me, so that he could deliver to you.

5 Sleeps To Christmas

Okay, there are only 5 sleeps to Christmas. It has been a while since I have posted, but I am happy to say that I have spent the time productively. I have all my Christmas purchases complete, I am almost packed and ready for the flight to my parents.

The sad think is that it is 5 days until Christmas, and I am simply tired. Very very very tired.
