listen,
i want to write and write
all the time.
spending each day surrounded by words
mixing and matching them – stories weaved
from ideas, daydreams and my experiences.
until,
threads of thought transposed to prose
shared here with you thoughtful reader.
conversation -
fueled, sparked with you (i hope)
listen – and then please speak up!

beginnings – easier to finish than endings
endings require the follow through – oomph!
nope, not easy especially when distracted
by life’s little bumps – motivation killed!
back to beginnings, that starting line
to reach that goal; to be changed

you can never stay the same
experiencing successes, failures – adapting to change
you may not recognize the transformation,
until a while later you see
better or worse versions of yourself
depending on your approach to life
you accept, adapt or cry in rage
self-awareness, yes – but more is required
there is more to do, move!
standing in a puddle of pity
raging (roasting?) in a furious fire
gets you no where fast – cry,
raise your fist at your tragedies
then dear reader, move on – go!
discover there is more to you
than what experiences dare label you

Note to my readers: WordPress is making me angry because it keeps stripping out paragraph breaks. Can’t seem to fix it. So if this week’s Six Word Fridays is difficult to read – my earnest apologies!
journey to motherhood – my waiting game
for a pregnancy to stick – finally!
for the first trimester to end
baby is ok, baby is growing!
for that baby to finally arrive
ten days late…waiting – come on!
for that first introduction – hello, beautiful.
now it’s not about waiting anymore
because time is moving so quickly
she’s growing up – i’m not ready
but she’s not waiting for me
too much world to explore – and,
that’s a good thing to see
so i am enjoying every moment
as my “Little Chicken” discovers – experiences
life’s wonders, its bumps and opportunities

It’s the little things that make life the best. They help me to appreciate what is good, what is working out right. Especially when life piles on difficulties just to make me sweat.
In the end, the best is wherever I choose to find it. And so here are a few of the things- the moments, activities and pleasures – of what I think is the best. (Aside from Six Word Fridays of course!)
pride and prejudice: best book ever
lazy summer afternoons by the lake
acceptance and love, despite one’s foibles
weekends: full days with my daughter
unconventional, unpredictable poetry of Emily Dickinson
pitter, patter – rain against the pane
chocolate – which i mention a lot 
k1, p1 to create something beautiful
music – something with a good beat
my cats, stretched out lazy long
pronouncing «la beurre d’arachide» – lyrical
one moment to myself to savour

that i don’t know enough but…
brining a turkey makes it juicy
reading is a gift of discovery
chocolate heals the soul (it’s true)
spinning classes = torture disguised as fitness
my lovely daughter loves the wind
i can go through labour…naturally
the importance of my family’s needs
and the equal importance of mine
social media opens your personal network
mixing jasmine, mint, green teas = delicious!
taking risks is a good thing
but cliff diving? a bad idea
learning everyday…from successes and failures
{edit: I misspelled green tea as “grean” tea so have corrected it. I have also added the fyi note below.}

temptation strikes me all the time
oh chocolate how you taste divine
reading pages more instead of sleep
tongue biting when i’d rather speak
buying purses, shoes and baby toys
(my husband just rolled his eyes)
another sip, sip of pinot noir
taking chances when i’ve failed before
it’s bedtime – wanting one last hug
from my precious little lady bug
yes i’m tempted all the time
but honestly, i do not mind

playdate (hooray!) with my daughter tomorrow
day of songs, tickles and laughs
perhaps banana bread in the oven
to the park, swing and climb
back home for snack and naps
more play and then sweet dreams
date night with DH – perfect day

Bookworm…
Unabashedly so.
