Too Wiped

I hope that no-one has their hopes up for inspiration, or anything…I am so tired!!! We just got home and we both wanted to leave a whole lot earlier. We thought we were giving a couple (who my hubby works with) a ride home. Turns out, nope, they’re going to someone’s house. It’s not like they’re horrible people or anything, they’re actually quite nice, I like them. It probably just slipped their minds. I’m just tired is all. I need to sleep. Zzzz

Never Again Will They Trust Blindly

Share your joy, your love, yourself

Openly and freely

Show your care, your trust, your faith

Even if they push back steely 

They’ve been hurt, been wronged, been wounded

Harshly and cruelly 

They’ve lost their cares, their trust, their faith

Their resistance seems unruly

Share your honesty, your hope, your heart

Patiently and kindly

Gently break down their walls, their resistance, and their fears

For never again will they trust blindly

I Won!! 

I feel fuzzy brained right now. My sinuses are feeling like they’re about to burst! And, sorry for the grossness in advance, but I feel the goop dripping down into the back of my throat…yup, warned you for a reason. And, to top it all off, I feel my throat getting scratchy. It’s strange because I felt it coming on. This afternoon I felt fine, but then around supper my throat started to feel a bit sore. Then my sinuses started, the grossness and my ears feel plugged up. And now I feel like poop (as opposed to a worse word that I could have used there…) It was just weird as it slowly developed throughout the day. It came on in super slow motion, but now I just feel sick. Yuck! 

Tonight I got a message from one of the girls who ran the 21 day fix hat I’ve been doing and she told me that I won the challenge!! Yay!! I ended up with the most points. We got points for drinking enough water, following the diet without “cheating” and for being active (doing my Tai Chen every day with my daughter!!). Then there were extra points you could earn daily for participating in the group activities. There was usually a daily task and a nightly check-in (all on Facebook). Then at the end of the 21 days, they added up all of the points and, yay!!!!, I won!! So I’m getting a new workout kit called Hammer and Chisel. So, once the 90 day Tai Chen program is finished, I’ll have a new 60 day program to do! The Tai Chen should get me in better shape, so that I’m ready to take on the harder program. Keep in mind that this is the company who came out with the Insanity series…so, not easy stuff. Hammer and Chisel is pretty intense, but the timing should work out well. Once I’m done th Hammer and Chisel it will be right around the date of the Mud Run that I’m planning on signing up to do with some of the ladies who’ve been a part of the challenge I just did. Food wise, I’m doing the 21 day fix, again, as part of another challenge group. The thing I like about all of this is the community. I’ve met so many people doing this and they’re all nice and super supportive, of everyone. You’d think that there’d be a lot of competing, for customers and challenge participants, etc. However, it’s not the case. More than one coach run the groups and the coaches participate in the challenges as well. In any challenge then there are people who may have different coaches, but it doesn’t matter. The way they support each other and cheer each other on is addictive. It makes you feel like you’re a part of something important. It’s just a lot of fun, which, of course, makes sticking to it so so much easier. I also like that they share recipes and ideas and teach about clean eating.  It’s not just a “diet” that you do, you lose weight, you stop, you gain it back. These guys teach about meal prep about nutrition and so much more. Wow! I kind of sound like an infomercial – lol! I’ve just been enjoying this a lot. The next challenge starts Monday…who’s joining me???

He Thinks Of Her

Through rain in the winter, like tears carved from ice, head down, he walks and he thinks of her.

Through days clear and bright with dappled shadows from the trees, he stares at the shapes and he thinks of her. 

Through nights filled with anguish, with tears stabbing his heart, he struggles to wake up and he dreams of her. 

Through mountains tall and jagged forever demanding his attention, he drives round the bends and he thinks of her.  

Throughout his days, his tortured soul,  bombards his heart and mind with thoughts of her and he knows he’ll never stop, so he thinks of her.

Hello World 

Hello world, can I have another go?

Hello world, I won’t accept a “no”. 

Hello life, where do I even start?

Hello life, I won’t let you fall apart. 

Hello day, you’re not the only one!

Hello day, and I’ve only just begun. 

Hello moon, you seem to come so fast!

Hello moon, time never seems to last. 

Hello God, am I on the right track yet?

Hello God, I’m getting close, I bet!

Hello Sun, you offer a brand new day. 

Hello Sun, there’s always a different way!

Isn’t justice enough?

Are there so many negative people?

With thought and commitment 

Can fix this mess???

Sorry guys. I feel like I have this overflowing well of negativity spewing out tonight! Not really sure why. But, I am sure that I’m done for the night. My brain has nowhere positive to go.

Nothing Good…

Today has been a very very long bed day. Meaning, I was in bed for most of it. Feel just awful and that oil kicked in. So I’ve been in bed for most of the day. I’ve had a pukey feeling all day. So, there’s no fun feeling this way, none, nada, zip!! Blech… Until tomorrow then!!

Without Words On My Lips…

Here I sit without words on my lips,

Just pauses, and sighs, and my hands on my hips. 

Not sure what to write,

Don’t know what to say,

I’m feeling so blank,

I hate feeling this way!

I hate the word hate, but I just used it right there,

I’m writing things down, without feeling fully aware…

Had I felt more awake,

Or if there was less pain,

Maybe I could better focus

On the words I am saying!

Well, this poem went wrong, without direction or care,

I’ll stop while I can, I don’t have much new to share…

So good night, arivaedarce,

I’m tired and it’s late.

And I really do have to go, 

Because my son’s now awake!

(Okay, that doesn’t really rhyme, but I gotta run!!)

“The Hills…”

Today was better than the rest of the week. The pain wasn’t quite as bad. Thank goodness. When I have a long stretch of bad bad days, it’s simply exhausting! I had a fun evening with my daughter (the 13 year old…not sure why I never put names on here, it’s just a habit now). I was driving her to dance and had a relaxing evening at my mom and dad’s planned. I was going to have a long bath in their huge, jet tub. I had everything ready to go, my face mask, my book, bath stuff, and when I dropped her off she went to the studio, but the door was locked (good thing I always wait until she’s inside before leaving). Turns out that it’s teachers convention in the city, which is under a different school board than in Beaumont, so all classes were canceled and the studio was closed. So my daughter and I went to Winners, because I had seen some leggings there that I was sure she’d love (the stock changes so quickly there that I was afraid they’d be gone, but they were still there…yay!). We spent a long time there and tried a bunch of stuff on. It was nice with just the two of us, it doesn’t happen very often. Then on the way home we were driving past “The Hills, at Charlesworth” (I think that’s what it was called!) It’s a new fancy looking (and sounding) development along Elerslie Rd.  Whenever we drive past we all joke about the name and we all say it in our phoney British accents. We decided, spur of the moment, to go check out the show homes together. We had lots of fun checking out all of the different rooms and fancy master suites. It was a nice, surprise night together. And now my son is calling me and he should be asleep, so I’m outta-here for the night!!
