Hold on

Be yourself,

be true,

be who you are.

Be honest,

to a fault.

And smile inside because of it.

No matter what sadness it brings you,

be true..

if it is only you

who believes.

It still matters.

In the end

when all is gone

you will have that to hold on to.

Smile at the sad,

hold the hand of those who are alone.

Don't be afraid,

you will not be on your own.

A greater power will be there too,

all because,

you

had faith

in

you.

Time for an introduction

Meet Allie, short for Allison.

She has been waiting anxiously for a formal introduction! I don't know if you remember Ester. ..

Ester and Allison are best friends.

They like to spend as much time with each other as possible. Together they have an inifinite imagination! They have some strange and scary adventures. Those to follow in the hopefully, somewhat, near future!

This is also posted on Illustration Friday...for inifinite!

Just Mine

Just mine,

no one elses.

My thoughts, my creation.

Unimposed by others,

unique.

Indivisual.

Just mine,

but

mine to share.

To show,

to give,

A Time For Reflection

Every now and thing I have to reassess, check the water and see how things really are.

I close my eyes for a moment, and let myself experience what is left when I quiet my thoughts.

Where does that leave me, what do I need, what do I want, how do I feel.

Have I done any good lately, have I smiled at a stranger, did I give of myself. Was a person made to feel better because of something I did for them.

Am I fulfilling my dreams, my passions...

I need time to reflect.
And then open my eyes, and face the world.

Tis' the season

Tis' the season for dark spooky nights

with shutters clanging again the clapboards.

It is the season for crunchy sounds as you walk over fallen leaves.

Scents of a cool autumn air.

Bees buzzing ever so slowy,

holding on to their last remnants of willpower.

Plastic pumpkins waiting to be filled,

Ghost stories around a late evening campfire.

Cuddling up under an afghan,

while the world outside prepares for its winter rest.

Leaving..

First things first...never leave a messy home.

Second, find a good pair of walking boots and a sturdy suitcase.

If you prefer though, you could wear your cute, black maryjanes.

Third, head up that hill ready to face the unknown.

(with you fingers crossed behind you back!)

We all have different journeys and we all face them in our own way.

Best wishes on whatever journey you are on today.

A soft safe world

After work is done,

back to my home I go.

Where I hang my clothes,

and peel off the stress of the day.

Where I rest my thoughts

and exhale my cares.

The bedsheets are cool,

a book is waiting.

A four legged friend curls up next to me,

letting out a soft sigh of contentment,

as my tired heart is enveloped in my

soft, safe world.
