- Hard Times
When I am having a really hard time and life is trying to get the best of me, I stop and quiet myself. I get into the mode of really listening to my thoughts. That's when I discover that the most awesome songs, paragraphs, sentences, poetry, and beautiful pictures consume and flow through my mind.

- The Blaming Game
Sometimes it feels really bad when you have to go back and correct your mistakes. Sometimes you want to blame others, but you know it is you who made the mistake. Go apologize to someone for blaming them for something you did and know you did it. Go own up to your mistakes and stop blaming others! You will feel much better and it will make you a better person!

- Life After Children
Children grow up, they are ushered out of the loving arms of their parents as it is time for them to experience life on their own. They are well prepared to go. Parents would not let them leave if it was felt they were not ready for the world. They are all gone. What now we ask? Thoughts of happiness. Thoughts of sadness. It gets lonely without them being around. They are missed! Enjoy life with your children now because one day they will have those same feelings. Enjoy life without children!

- Just Go Away
Why can't it just go away on it's own. It has been here for a very long time. Throbbing, aching, hurting. Why can't it just go away on it's own. There is no energy to assist with it just going away. Please just wake up out of this bad dream, or is this a dream. Let it just go away.

- Anything Good
A good woman is hard to find. A good man is hard to find. A good book is hard to find. A good house is hard to find. Why is anything that's good so hard to find?

- Snow Beautiful Snow
It's snowing - beautiful, white, crystal-like snow. The trees are gorgeous, the grass no longer green but white, what a wonderful sight to see. Then it all goes away and turns into black sluggish slippery mess!
