Okay, let's set things straight:
I DO love words.
I AM lacking time right now.
I WANT to put my thoughts into words that make sense.
My brain IS mushy. {this is NOT funny}
My heart IS full.
I AM out of sorts with myself right now. {NOT a very cool place to be}
At least I can write here and y'all will understand me to a point. That makes me feel a little bit better.
But right now, this is where I'd like to run away to:
_____________________________________________
I would love to grab my Bible, journal, and a passel of pens, jump into a car, don my sunglasses and turn on some melodious melody that would calm my spirits. My choice for the moment would be something such as "A Place Called Grace" or "Through the Fire", for such words would speak to my heart where I'm at right now. Down long highways I would go, till I found my spot.
This place I speak of is in my imaginations, and I don't quite know the entirety of what it looks like or where exactly it is located. But what I do know, I tell. It's well off the beaten path, a little cottage surrounded by woods, but the woods are not too close to the cottage. In other words, breathing room is plenteous. The sounds of nature come alive, along with the blooming colors of spring. There is no phone, internet, computer or any such thing available. It's a quiet place - a lovely place. There are several places that are beckoning you to come and rest: the wide porch, the swing out back or the gazebo down the wooded path.
If you were to go there, you would find rest, rejuvenation and relaxation to your heart's content. You wouldn't want to leave, for it would be a haven of peace and comfort and you would learn more about the beauty of life and the specialness of every moment in more ways than you could imagine. It's a happy place, and I cannot imagine anyone who would not want to go visit for at least a little spell.
Sometimes, sometimes, I really wish dreams would come true.

Keep dreaming, you say? Eh, really? It's making me more out of sorts with myself and a little more bah-humbuggish. Blah. At least for this moment. But it was fun to write. ;) ha
First of all.... dreams do come true!! Don't give up on them :( GO read Jennette's post on her trip to England :)
ReplyDeleteSecond... I really like this. I can completely picture it, and it's a good picture.
Third, there's a few things I would clean up to make it stronger. You use "there" a lot of place where you could just take it out:
"The sounds of nature come alive there, along",
"There is no phone, internet, computer or any such thing like that available there." [cut the last there and the "like that"]
Keep keep dreaming, girl! Don't give up on them... and if you are [giving up that is] come talk to me! hehe <3 you!
thanks girly! :) that makes sense, so thanks for helping me clean things up!
ReplyDeleteand yes, I know dreams do come true...sometimes. just not always in our timing. and a dream like this, well I was wanting it right then. ;) but, I kind of got it today - went out to the country for a spell and it was so quiet & peaceful. :) God is good!
