thursday is....

thursday brings...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

my alayna's 7th birthday

 and warm temps 

sitting on the porch and watching a dragon-fly circle round and round again...

blue skies today not a cloud to be seen anywhere

today brings us 2 days left of july before august sashays in

just like every summer im often left bewildered as to where she scurried off to in a such a rush

i love the way she calls to me and digs down deep into my soul and yanks that inner child of mine out to play under the sun

i love to dance under the street lamps when i think no one is watching...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

today was filled with laundry and scrubbing floors

washing down cabinets in the kitchen

and moving things around to new spots...even though i told myself

let it go, some other day when the weather is cold...everything will still be there waiting for you...

Kiss Me Ed Sheridan on repeat all day long

and drowning in Nicholas sparks new released movie,

the longest ride

i watched the pink petals fall slowly off my Gerber daisies as they wither away more every day..

i lit scented candles 

and tried to push nagging emotions aside

it never works though

~~~~~~~~~~~

i had alayna for 2 days this week so tonight im enjoying the quiet

i can feel myself slipping into my inner-self for a while

i don't know why i feel the need to do that, but i do

certain times i need to distract myself from family, and friends

and unknowingly shut people off for awhile

otherwise it becomes too noisy in my head
i feel a strong urge to lay in the comfort of my bed
wrapped up in my down feather comforter no matter the season..
and lose myself into a good book

....its funny how we make life so complicated for ourselves...

if only we would just let go and 

let it be...
