Forever in my memory

If I can not be the wind or the rain that makes the flowers grow

then let me be the stars that light up your way

If I can not be the sugar in your mouth,

then let me be the spice that keeps you going.

If I can not be your poetry, then let me tell

your story and you shall live forever in my memory.

Something more…

I build a wall around my heart

not wanting for it to get hurt

I surrounded myself with poetry

and wisdom only to find myself

wanting more…something more

to color my days and to stir my nights

Something more to color my days and stir my nights… -justme62

Ordinary day…

Weekend is here at last! And the sun is out. Wow…! that is not ordinary at all in the Pacific Northwest on the 2nd day of March. But since nature has gifted us with a gorgeous sunny day, I will enjoy it with gusto!

For starters, I prepared a delicious and simple fruit salad for breakfast and a strong cup of coffee. Sat in front of my laptop and now writing a short but sweet paragraphs on this sweet blog of mine.

So, what is my point to all these you ask? Well, I am enjoying and celebrating a beautiful day after all the snowy gray days we had since the beginning of February. First weekend in since the beginning of the year we had a sunny day. Big deal? For me it is.

Do I know You?

A shiny mirror facing me, like an invisible audience peeking through

I’ve forgotten the lines on my forehead, the blemishes on my cheeks

the thin lines under my eyes, now staring back at me.

As if to remind me, that I’m continuously aging as I write these

words on a stark white paper, so perfect, so absent of

blemishes and imperfections.

I wanted to ask this person staring back at me in the mirror

do I know you? Have we met before? Are you happy? or are you just

floating around like the dusts in the air.

I stared at my legs, have they been a part of me? Have I neglected them? Have I taken them for a long walk lately?

This person in the mirror seems familiar but also seems strange.

Whose legs are those? Have they been a part of me? Have I neglected them have I taken them for a long walk lately? -photo by justme62

Learning to love yourself

Love comes in many forms, not just a romantic love but also a deep love and acceptance of oneself.

The most loving love story one can present to the world is learning to love myself, ourselves. Many times we take ourselves for granted, especially us single people.

Today, is Valentine’s Day and please send yourself something special, take yourself out to lunch or cook something especial for dinner tonight. Open up a bottle of wine or whatever spirits of your choice have a toast to yourself.

Better yet, take your drink outside in the garden sip it slowly and savor the nature, inhale some fresh air and start loving yourself. Appreciate yourself and be thankful that all these years you have yourself to rely on.

Happy Valentine’s day everyone!

I’m still working on consciously choosing myself, believing in myself and loving myself deeply. Don’t get me wrong my heart is open and will always let love in. -justme62

Just another Sunday

Good morning everyone! Another Sunday and I am having my breakfast in a slow motion. No rush for the door as oppose to my Monday thru Friday sched.

Usually I am still in bed trying to get more beauty sleep but since I have tons of things to do today, I decided to get up and get going and do some writing.

Hoping everyone is doing well today, keeping warm from the blustery winter weather and savoring every moment.

I found really interesting ideas at the supermarket to prepare for today’s superbowl snacks. Looking forward to preparing them and planting my behind on the couch to watch the game.

But first, let me get done with breakfast. 🙂
