It has always been you : Poem

It has always been you. 
I will be standing at the airport about to board my plane. 
Finishing a workout and heading to my car. 
Sipping coffee at the park.
Watching a movie or reading a book. 
Writing in my diary and fighting back tears smiling because of it all.
 Praying before I hit the pillow for bed. 
Holding onto memories and thoughts. 
Trying to mull over things I never said. 
Drinking a beer or dancing to a song. 
Sitting at my desk working away. 
Cooking in the kitchen or cleaning out the house. 
It's always been you. 
On my mind and in my heart. 
You cannot see it, you do not want it or know it.
Or maybe even need it. 
Sometimes you gotta say it. 
That feeling right there. 
Baby please don't forget it. 
When I'm looking directly into your eyes I could shout at the top of my lungs, but you won't hear. 
I am right here. 
I can't wait long.
have a plane to catch, I need to go.
 I want to leave.
Best believe it has always been you.

New Zealand Untamed Landscapes: Honeymoon 2019

Image
I was debating putting this post down since we arrived home. I gave myself a week back at work and a weekend to recharge and try to wake up. I have to laugh a little because typically when I come home from a wonderful trip, I am usually a smidge depressed for awhile. I observe the life and country of another land, get immersed in their culture and then depart before I can consider losing my passport and trying to stay. Ah, the life of a world traveler. New Zealand is a land of true beauty, many parts of it, are untouched by tourists, and holds vast landscapes of sweeping trees and mountains. The Maori people who live in the Maori village there are kind, and they protect their land very well. They made us a hengi feast and cooked it in the geothermal hot spring ground. Kind of like if America had a 'nature's slow cooker.' The food cooks all day and you can simply leave it covered and in the ground, where inset boards will be lowered down to cook the food. We also went to ...

Stay at home mom, Landmark, this and that, goodbye Midtowne on the Park

 Hello! Took another a long hiatus from these posts. I have been a busy momma. I left my job at Lockheed Martin June 2nd last year. I left the comfy cushion of a good salary, 9 hr days, and daycare days to days where I am central focused on kids, rather than when I will get my nails done, or when my next day off is. I attend St. John's Baptist Mother's morning out group once a week, 2 hrs in the basement discussing a book with other moms while the kids are in nursery or toddler class, beneficial. Learning to say no to things rather than yes to everything. I said no to women's bible study, which I love, to yes to more time with the kiddos, and yes to supporting my husband and the unpredictable work schedule. I say no to rushing from here to there unless part of our normal routine, and said goodbye to friends who do not fit changes, or energy, those who do not understand or give back.       Becoming a stay at home mom has helped me get back the moments I had lost ...

Setting yourself up for disappointment

I don't know what's harder, the beginning, the middle or the end of something you thought would last. for two weeks I have been sick on and off, and my life things I like doing have been put on hold, no gym, no life group, no bible study, it's been miserable and this week I could only go to work one day because I have pink eye in both eyes, trying to get well again. When I don't get to go anywhere or do anything, I do it anyways. I worked out while sick last week and made it worse. I went to see Iron Man yesterday after work because I needed to get out. I disinfected the apartment periodically and cursed when I saw statuses of people going out and having fun when I'm stuck. during my time in my room, or in the shower, or cleaning, I began to fester about what I could have been doing, what I needed to do, or what happened while I was absent, or about all the people I cared about who maybe forgot about me. Here's the thing, everyone has a hobby, or maybe its a fla...
