a wedding day

Thursday, October 4th 2007

my niece
is getting married
this weekend
and i am happy
for her
but i could be happier
my parents
won't be there
it's too hard
for my dad
and my mom
she's barely aware
so it makes
me sad
that they are missing
this day
like so many others

my niece
she doesn't
show warmth
towards my mom
and dad
and that makes me sad too
her closeness
reserved for her
maternal grandparents
most of her life
wonderful people
but still
there should have bee...

find the good

Tuesday, October 2nd 2007

find the good
in all we do
and all we have
to offer
our friends
and family
and the people
whose paths
we cross
on any given day

find the silver lining
in the darkest clouds
in the saddest moments
that life
throws our way
for that is living
and we can't

because there is
always a tomorrow
always

good thoughts go far

Saturday, September 29th 2007

thank you all so very much for your kind words yesterday. i am doing fine. life is good and i know it. sometimes you just have to be blue. but your generous hearts were so appreciated and went a long way to lift my spirits.

ralph is away and i am alone this weekend. some friends of ours had invited us to go out to a winery on long island. i typically wouldn't go without ralph, but this time i decided it is the best thing for me to be out and about instead of inside and worrying about ...

life is complicated even when it is simple

Friday, September 28th 2007

there are
so many
good things in the world
why do i focus
on the bad?
there are
so many
reasons for happiness
why am i feeling
so sad?

i am not in control
of everything
these days
my life complicated
by the simplest
of things
i don't feel confident
the way i should
the way i used to
when i woke up
every day
and there was reason
and potential
along the way


blah
blahs
that's what i hear
when people speak
and tell me
about their l...
