Covid has been with us now for over a year But facemasks unfortunately we still have to wear Boris says restrictions will soon come to an end And time with our friends we'll be able to spend But sensible and safe we need folks still need to be Or the end of restrictions we never will see Keeping our distance for a bit longer yet Making sure an end to this virus we surely will get  

Tick, tick tockWhy do I even own a clockTime wasted I marchThat word came backSo sad we'd been on trackAround we go againPromise you saidNo not that wordOmissions I heardWasted chances drainedWhat did you gainNow I'm left pieces apartWords, just nonsenseMy hearts wrenchedNoises from your lipsSecrets destroy usForgetting you sayFaulty memory a plusDo you really thinkThat I would careWe've been through our shareYour life, h...

This musing, which is really more of an outpouring of crap, will be shorter than usual. As some of you know, I’ve been having a lot of wrist pain for the past year or two. It’s been getting progressively worse since I took my current job. You’ll have noticed that I don’t post as much as I used to, even in the forum.The reasons for that are twofold: One, a certain now-ex-member made it difficult to find the fun in writing,...

I can do this No I can't Don't say that word Over again I chant I bite my lips Fidget my hands Sweat dripping everywhere From that workout dance Fear shows up Not now! I say loudly No more disappointments I want to be proud of me Staring at the enemy The image of a beast A taunting monster One I am desperate to beat I close my eyes In search for courage Philippians 4:13 Pops into my storage I open my eyes I no longer see...

Today was a good day The sun warmed the morning The ocean was calm, just a soft breeze A light touch of salted air caressed my cheeks Not many days like this have I enjoyed For many months it has been cold and dark A soul that once thrived, has lost its shine The fear and uncertain nature of the unknown How quick one is to lose faith in the power of healing Health might be the one thing we take for granted To breathe, to ...

It was the first legitimate spring day of the season. The air finally warmed, the sun was out and there was not a cloud in the sky. I decided that rather than go to the gym and pretend to be a hamster on the tedious treadmill; I would call my friend James and see if he wanted to go for a run. He did, so we hit our local trail. It was a gorgeous day and about halfway through the run we decided to stop so I could catch my b...

I had assumed that I was the only person in the office at that early hour, but clearly someone was nearby as I bent over to retrieve the files I had just managed to spill all over the floor. Perhaps it was a burglar, or a homeless squatter. Whoever it was, they were clearly and curiously tearing bed sheets apart. I stood to begin an investigation into the loud noise, and suddenly felt a breeze caressing my ass. No, it was...

We have all witnessed miracles, every day, the glory of the sunrise, the beauty of the sunset, the cleansing rain, the promise of the rainbow, the melodious song of children’s laughter, the miracle of new life. All things we take for granted and never acknowledge as a miracle from God. And I have been the same way, never giving it a second thought… until recently. I feel and believe that I have been the recipient of the g...
