leaves' exquisite glow
the night quickly approaches
strength of letting go
a cue for today's fading
for hope of tomorrow's dreams
A tanka for W3 prompt – strength
glowing

Autumn sunset
Peacing my thoughts
Before the world darks
I forwarded myself into the light
Believing that magic still exits
I hearted my feelings
For a few minutes
The golden possibled my being
Magnetically
I listened to my intuition
And didn’t science my soul
I let go of expectations
I was sevening again

Pretend
Pretend
The world is still spinning
The laugh is loud and the joy never ends
Pretend you are the same
Tomorrow never comes
The feelings are stagnated
Pretend until the truth shows its face
And the world ends

W3 :: The changing seasons
Starting a new life
Precious moments are always remembered
Resilience
Instigated by curiosity
Never look back
Give yourself a chance
Sun, sea, and sand
Unforgettable moments
Memories of freedom
Memories of joy
Excitation and whispers
Recreating dreams
Falling
Apart, melancholy
Letting go of the faith
Leading you to the abysm
Wonderland
Investing in yourself
Never gives up
The transition is short
Eternal hope
Releasing guilt
What’s missing?
It is a cloudy day, raining coming and going. Silence. I’m in the living room looking through the window, trying to find words, organizing my thoughts.
I baked a cake and read a few pages. My thoughts are coming and going as the rain. I don’t have stillness; I need someone, something.
I open my laptop, my blog, and jump to the reader. Sadje’s question pops up: Is anything missing from your life?
Myself!
I don’t have doubts, my answer is: I miss myself.
I miss the years which went by so fast, I miss the opportunities I didn’t take, I miss the time I could have spent close to the people I loved, I miss the past. I got lost on the journey. I miss myself, the true-self who is masked by a pretense of being a daughter, wife, mother, employee …, many layers hiding myself.
Who am I when I’m disrobed of all the titles above?
Autumn’s delish
Hello my friends, I hope you are enjoying the new season. Autumn started yesterday here in Canada. I’m so glad it was a Sunday and I could sleep in and I had a delicious breakfast which included pumpkin pie and my homemade plum jam. I also decorated the table with a white pumpkin, it is a tradition for me, every year I buy 3 white pumpkins, I keep them on one of my windowsills during the season. I had a wonderful creamy coffee in my pumpkin mug.
The weekend was beautiful, surprising warm for this time of year and wonderful for going out and taking photos.
These are a few shots from the weekend.
Well, a new week is starting, I hope to keep the weekend vibes with me, I know it is impossible, but I’ll try my best.
Have a great new season!
New Season
Hello everyone, long time since I showed up here. I thought it was time to catch up.
Spring and summer went by in a hurry. It feels like yesterday when the first blooms were starting to show up in my garden. I’m writing this post and looking at the yellow leaves on the ground. Yes, Autumn is coming with all the coziness and beautiful colours of the season.
I wish my creativity and inspiration get a booster as well. I haven’t done much in the last few months, all my projects were put on hold. It was like taking a break from myself and focusing on work and family. I miss my ‘me time’ and just realized I also miss myself.
Missing myself, it’s such an interesting feeling. I feel disconnected from my values, simplicity and joy. I didn’t journal, run, or go out with my camera in the summer. These are the stuff I’m missing; the time and the fun of doing something just for me.
I have been reading a lot, 36 books only this year, but it’s an intake of information. While reading I’m not producing anything, I’m not creating, or expressing myself.
Last weekend I went out, I left my cocoon and wandered around the neighbourhood with my camera. It was nice to connect to nature and with myself.
I hope you are doing well and enjoying the change of the seasons.
Sunday Thoughts
On my kitchen table this morning:
- Roses – Valentines from hubby
- My journal – blank pages waiting for words
- A cup of coffee – coconut milk, cinnamon with a shot of expresso
- A beautiful pen – also hubby’s gift. He knows my passion for gorgeous stationery.
- New garden stickers – a “me gift”. I got it to cheer me up, still winter here with snow, cloudy and windy days, so a little bit of flowers on my pages will bring spring to my dreams.
Wishing a peaceful Sunday to you!
Tanka Tuesday :: droplets of hope
in the depth winter
my mind wonders in darkness
short days and long nights
the full moon is the witness
i look for the hidden hope
i search for droplets of spring
W3 :: Winter blues
Walking along by the river
I spotted this light pole
Standing still, strong
Undisturbed by the snowstorm
Nobody, nothing can break its peace
I took my gloves off and snapped a photo
To take back home
Just as a reminder
The Winter blues are here
Disturbing inner peace
Hold on tight to yourself
