What's New?

Well, it has been a busy couple of weeks all in preparation for my future. As we speak, or you read and I type, I am waiting for the owner of Kelly's restaurant on Main St. to interview me for a cooking\waitress position. Pray for me.
I also went by CSI this week and picked up my class list and credit requirements for my Associates of Arts degree in Psychology. Next is to apply for my FAFSA and scholarships and to enroll. Which I will do Sunday at Billy's house.
On top of all of that, I am making more and more jewelry for all of the shops I am in and signed up to do the Arts on Main St during the music on main on Wednesday night. We will see how that goes. Its 20$ per week so I will see how much I make this week and decided from there where I want to go with it. Wish me luck in this as well and make sure you come by my booth to say hi if nothing else ( meaning supporting your local struggling artist and buying something!) lol.
I hope all is going well with all of you. Is there anything exciting going on in your life? Let me know, I am interested!
as always, love and light to all, Danielle.

you....

I think about you everyday, and miss you with an heartache so vast and unexpected. The emptiness in my heart like a plague. Slowly decaying the fragile organ made to keep me alive. Death sometimes seems a blessing, for the pain would vanish into the clouds and I'd sink into oblivion. You.... I never knew. Until it was too late to say everything you needed to hear. To ease your soul and scream out how much I truly love you. Time though, was not on my side and now all I get is silence. Met with a deafening yelling in my head over the injustice of words clouding my mind left silent and alien to your ears. I miss you. Everyday. I pray for you, for your eternal happiness without me. Maybe you see me. Maybe I am there with you in the recesses of your soul. I will never know. I love you, still, always and forever.

A BIG Thank you!

Shadows of the Past

I asked a friend to give me a blogging prompt since my block to my brain seemed to be firmly in place as of late. Shadows of the past is what I was told. So I'm going to run with it and see where this leads. I have no idea, so it will be a surprise for all of us!
The shadows of the past seem as anchored to our feet as our own shadows are. They follow us with a ferocity that can sometimes make you want to run. Sometimes their quiet presence its almost like a warm blanket. There to keep us safe from mistakes and held tightly around us as security.
The magnitude of ones past seems lost at times. A fleck of lint in your pocket. Then a song will sound in the background. A heart will erratically beat its jazzy rhythm. Back into that moment you are thrown with no cushion to break your fall. Years can seep out. Anger can come slithering in. All on a note. A word. A feeling of helplessness of things gone by.
The wave subsides and life carries on. The past cannot hurt you. Its your thoughts and words about it that cause the pain. The more time and attention you give something the more meaningful and damaging it can become. One must learn to treat ones everlasting shadow as a friend, a companion. To see it as the dark that is only seen due to the light that shines around it. If one can focus on the comfort of the things ones gone through and have survived though one will know that you can always make it through. So far your track record is 100%. So don't be afraid of the darkness that follows you. You are the light that shines through. Without your shadow of reminders you would not be the person you are today. You would be someone different. Hold onto the night. There's always tomorrow.
