Early bird...

The birds sings their lullaby as the night owl goes to sleep...

Say it like you still believe...

or not at all...

Persistence

What do you do when life beats you down?

Ands as you lay there... it gives you a kick for good measure...

Sometimes you've given your all and yet it demands so much more from you...

That feeling of being hopelessly lost, of biting off more than you can chew, of being so helplessly overwhelmed, drowing in your own expectations and dreams...


Life teaches you to hang on... It might be a lesson worth learning...

One of those days...

Its one of those days....

The birds (imaginary as they have all migrated south due to winter) sing their sweet melody...

The trees sway gently (branches really...) to the breeze that passes by...

The warm, gentle rays of the winter sun caress my face...

The pastel blue sky calls to me...
A cloud rolls by lazily...

And my heart pines to go out....

But I'm stuck here... Crap...

Mistakes

Will saying sorry ever be enough? Will it right wrongs that have been made?

Probably not at first, when wounds are still raw...
As time heals, maybe saying sorry will be the difference between leaving a scar and healing completely...

Its about time some apologies are due...

Here

No one understands if you don't let them...

Unappreciation

Talent doesn't just grow on trees...

Yet it goes unappreciated...

Forsaken by those who have it for cheap thrills and the lack of determination to fight an addiction...

Until its gone...

Success

That unquantifiable stuff of legends...

Maybe some people just want happiness...

A Fresh Start...

The streets are empty... Its almost like Christmas day again... No hustle, no bustle...

Sometimes when you're stuck in this rat race of a city you wonder when its all gonna stop...

Pause
for 10 seconds to take a deep breath.
for 1 minute to take in the view.
for a couple of minutes to brew a cuppa.
for 10 minutes to clear your head.
for 20 minutes to call home.
for half an hour to exercise your body.
for a couple of hours to read a good book.
for a day to find some fun.
for a weekend under the stars.
for a fortnight to recharge your batteries.
for a month to learn something new.
for a summer to be a kid again.
for a year to see the world.
for a lifetime to work out what it all means.
or for just five minutes to do absolutely nothing.

So remember, pause...

Have a great year....
