Dear Diary

Dear Diary

Sorry I haven't written in a while now...I just haven't been inspired to do so...I feel ....slightly empty,a bit disappointed and well just out of it also...Out of what you might ask? Out of well every thing..I feel like I am in the dessert with just enough water to keep me alive but not enough to feel empowered to do anything else.

Its weird really being here after having been on the mountain top a week or so ago...These darn emotions,these are the times that I hate them...yes I know 'hate" is a pretty strong word,but at this moment in time,its the truth. Feelings ,feelings feelings.They empower you and the very next moment they cut the live supply off and you seem to be barely making it,surely life cant be that drastic in its changing???

Come on Connie,get a grip of yourself,you are a women,a fine one too. You know better than to rely on emotions??? Change them,if you don't like them,unless you like feeling helpless???Unfortunately,while you are FEELING down,the world keeps on turning,and time keeps on moving and your vision keeps trailing behind,so when you do finally come around,you will need to be playing catch up....Ahhhhhhhhhh life isn't fair,but there you go,thats life...

OK...I AM BACK.....No time to waste on pity parties...everyone has the same 24hours..i will make mine count,everyday...

Lovely!

This is great writing. And yes, we all have the same 24 hours - although sometimes it seems other people have 48!!!! Good going! Pick yourself up and keep moving!

from today i live out of my imagination
i am more than my yesterday
tomorrow i plant a new seed
nothing that lies behind easy
nothing that is ahead real
my within is all i have today

I can relate to these...

Usually a great workout sometimes does the trick in boosting my morale. It's true, time turns, life will always go one with or without you...I think participating is so much more fun than being a voyeur! I'm glad you are back, looking forward to reading more from you :-)
