why say that

As soon as someone says "oh, no offence intended", offended is usually what that individual feels.

Anyhoo, Merry Christmas :o)

honestly...

When I am buying groceries by myself, I don't buy large carrots or zucchini as I worry what others may think.

Silly, I know, but the thought is there now, and it won't go away.

soaring phobia

So I have to fly for work, no choice in the matter. And I'm scared to death. Why? I have faith in my own training as a nurse. Why is this not the same for the pilot? Ah, elements beyond my control. My fear does not stop me flying, it just doesn't make for an enjoyable time. So I've made peace with my fear, and just hope the person seated next to me does too :o)

always there

They sit beside me, sometimes close, sometimes they feel a mile away. But this does not scare me. Everyone needs their space. They will be with me when it suites them, as long as they know I'm always near if they need me. We are here for each other.

great words

Heavy Heart - You am I


Been watching so much TV
I'm thinner than I should be
I'm like a waterlogged ball
That no-one wants to kick around anymore
An all day morning hair-do
That no comb can get through
It's all granola and beer
A calling card and a silk cut souvenir
I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning's when it starts
I don't look so sharp
Now I got a heavy heart


I talk a lot about football
And girls I kissed in Grade 4
I piss off my friends
I'm digging a hole just staring at the floor
Now every t-shirt's got a wine stain
I'm loving cigarettes again
I know every tune about guys and girls
and hurts and hearts and moans


I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning's when it starts
I don't look so good
Now I've got a heavy heart


It's just a low rent paying, palpitating pulp inside my shirt
But there's a weight that's sitting
So hard oh God it hurts
Oh God it hurts


Been watching so much TV
I'm thinner than I should be
I'm like a waterlogged ball
That no-one wants to kick around anymore


I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning when it starts
Oh my heavy heart

For my friend xoxo
