The Night is Not my Own

The Night is Not My Own 

by Robin Clarissa

 

The night is not my own 

Reality is not here, it's not there. Is it real?

The wind sounds like waves 

Is it some distant waves crossing on the shore

Or is it just the trees whisper ways back and forth?

Slow down mind

Slow down mind

Slow down mind

Piercing thoughts, race like the horse with no end in sight

Do it again or do they end? 

That is the question I would love to know

Darkness seeks revenge follows, but still sleeps

 Slow down mind

Slow down mind

Slow down mind

Can you tell what is real?

Have you put that notion there?

What is black and what is white? It is neither.

Colors only shadow and make believe that everything is fun

 Slow down mind

Slow down mind

Slow down our mind

New Journey - The New Real Me

Image
Well, I have started a new journey. Life has changed in so many ways in the past 6 months. We moved to another state, Lee and I both took new jobs, we left our oldest to finish high school, just to name a few. I have been able to seek medical help with my asthma and sleep apnea, which have GREATLY improved life for me. I have also decided to proceed with gastric bypass surgery at the end of the summer. This is not a decision I took lightly and have prayed and thought a lot about it. It seems to me that the benefits far outweigh the risk. I have so many health concerns and this is by no means the easy way out. I thought that at one time, however I have been educated on the real deal for weight loss surgery. This is going to be a hard journey, but worth it in the long run. Baby steps. I will take MANY, but eventually I will come out on the other side walking proudly. My first goal is to lose 15 pounds before I go back to the nutritionist and fitness specialist at the end of this mo...

Shining Star

Okay so today was a little different.  I pretty much stayed in my pajamas most of the day, however I still worked on my list. I began my day with a mild stretching workout and it made me feel really good. I continued down my list and then got tired so I took a nap while listening to calming music. I must point out that this was just a nap and not a keep lying in the bed and feeling sorry for myself kind of thing. I have been known to do that and I am making an honest effort not to do that and pushing myself to do more than I am capable of or that I think I am capable of at the moment. I got up and took a refreshing shower while listening to 70's dance music (YES it was rocking!). There were many greats and many I wanted to reference for today but I ended on one of my favorites that keep on motivating me from childhood until now. Earth, Wind, and Fire - "Shining Star" " You're a shining star     No matter who you are   Shining bright to see   What you could ...

The New Me

About this blog: I do not usually do this. I am hoping to have great success this time because I have much to say and would like to have a place to say what is on my mind without having a lot of bad mouth back at me. (unless warranted-it could happen) I am at a new place in my life and would like to start fresh with a new lease on life and what I can offer it and what it can offer me in return. A little background: I have just celebrated my 37th birthday this past week. I have been married to the same wonderful man for 17 and 1/2 years. Together, we have 3 beautiful children (Two boys 12 and 7, One girl 3). I have just completed my Associates Degree over the summer and am continuing with online classes in pursuit of a Bachelors Degree in Economics. After my husband graduated in May, we had no clue where we were going. God is showing us big things because he accepted a job as head church planter in a whole other state (14 hours away from home). While I do miss my family, I am totally si...
