Moving to a new state of mind.

I hate moving! I just wanted to get that out there, but I don't feel any better about it. I have been moving for the last month. It is horrible - the chaos & unruly laundry hampers everywhere.

My life is a big ball of stress and I have fallen into a stress-induced walking-coma. I'm here, the lights are on, but no one is answering the freakin' doorbell. The worst part is that I am in the attic, looking out the window wondering what's going on & why I can't find the door. Its hard to explain, especially since I'm not sure what is going on - its not an emotional roller-coaster, its an emotional blender. I have feelings a'la baby food.

Too many analogies? Maybe. But its important for me to try and explain the inexplicable- my mind.

"New Year, New Joy: 1/1/11"

A new year means new joys.
Another 365 days to enjoy your life.
A new year for new idea,
  new mistakes and new lessons learned.

Remember the lessons, but 

  forget the mistakes.
Every day is precious and this
  is worth thinking about regularly.
Contemplate life and all the wonderful
  things that you can do with it.
Make sure that the people you love
  know it.
Show your joy to the world,
  and aways smile.

Happy New Year, from our family to you and your family!

"Sunshine"

She is my bit of sunshine
          my little funny gal
          my singing star
          my dancing princess
          my colorful artist
          my go-go-go girl
          my amazing explorer
          my heart
          my love
          my daughter

"Birthday"

Let us come together,
and celebrate
my birth,

The day that I became
one with the population,
the anniversary of my being.

I am no wiser
because of this benchmark
on the calendar.

The only wish that comes true,
as I blow out my candles
is that I get to eat cake.

Let us come together,
and celebrate
my delicious cake.
