The Close of Another Year Is Upon Us...

Wow, 2015 is almost finished. This year has definitely been a journey. Looking back on the last ten years and reading some of my older posts has me wrestling with a lot of mixed emotions. Some good, some not so good but as always I have returned to you, my comforter. Poetry has always been my fountain of release and yet these days they are few, unlike ten years ago where the ideas were free flowing like a raging river. Hmm, ten years ago I had easier access to writing time throughout the day.

Coming into 2016 I have set some goals already. I'm not going to list them here but I do have them written down in a notebook so that this time next year I can look back and see how much I have accomplished.

I have grown over this last decade; even though I feel like I have taken some major hits, I know I am stronger for it. My mind recognizes the logic but my heart has yet to catch up. That is one of the things I want to work on majorly in this new year, the translation lag between my logical understanding and emotional understanding because it causing major upheaval in my life and I don't like it.

The kiddies are sleeping and I should be too but these thoughts were weighing on my mind and wouldn't allow me peace so here they are. Good night. Happy Holidays!
