it's weird how bad things can get, and you don't even really notice how far it's gone until it's too late. until you remember all the the things we used to tell each other, and how you feel the emptiness of the gap in the air where they used to hover, creating smiles and optimism and hope. how you no longer patch yourself up easily and rebound to the next day like you used to. how things hurt more since there was someone else. how alone you really feel.

My FAVORITE version of this song...have a listen...you will feel good!! (by Beth Orton)

Ooh-oo child

Things are gonna get easier

Ooh-oo child

Things'll get brighter

Ooh-oo child

Things are gonna get easier

Ooh-oo child

Things'll get brighter

Some day, yeah

We'll get it together and we'll get it all done

Some day

When your head is much lighter

Some day, yeah

We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun

Some day

When the world is much brighter

 

first, i want to thank all of you super sweet flickr friends for all of your kind words and support today. you are wonderful and a large part of why i do this. thank you and hugs and kisses to all of you!

 

second, i want to let you know that i am fine. really. i just have "down" days, like everyone. they are getting very few and far between these days, but they still occur every now and then. i guess photos really have a way of displaying an emotion. i always knew that, but never experienced it first hand like i did today. even looking at those shots made me sad!! (and i'm not that sad! i swear!)

 

third and on to HAPPY things, i returned my bottles and cans again, (as we do here in Michigan) and guess what i did w/ the $? you got it! same as on valentines day: i bought myself some flowers. i had to hurry home so i could take pics in the sunlight. aren't these flowers fabulous?!

 

i spent a large part of the day thinking and planning for my future. i need to start over, fresh. i'm debating a big move. i'm scared, but in my heart know it's what i need to do. i'm looking forward to a new start.

 

i found this and really liked it for today's thought:

 

The Attiude You Bring to Life

 

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

 

Kahlil Gibran

  

The sun comes up everyday

wether we want it to or not.

 

Each day is a blank slate.

We get to write it how we choose,

or

we can scribble.

 

Sometimes complex problems

have simple solutions.

 

Everyone, at some time,

feels like they are alone.

Smack dab in the middle of nowhere.

Some people choose to stay there.

 

The good stuff is sometimes hard

The bad stuff is always easy.

 

You really can't love anyone else

until you love yourself.

 

If you make the right decisions

good things will follow.

 

It is better to wake up in the morning and like yourself, than it is

to berate yourself.

 

These are just some things I know are true, I probably know a bunch more, but now I'm all sappy and stuff so I should go...

  

Smile!

 

Sometimes life seems harder than it has to be. You find out that the the worst that can happen does, or that the guy you thought was a winner is really just a dud. You can't let it get you down. The best idea is to just stand up, look around, and laugh. Laugh at the absurdity of it.

 

Laugh at a decade where the worst human being on the planet wrecked this country, handed off to the next guy and walked off scot free, as though no crime had ever been committed. Then you laugh that you live in an era where a legal charter is not only considered equal to us - living, breathing human beings - but is in fact in many ways given superior rights and privileges. We're merely instruments, tools with which to generate wealth for other people.

 

Maybe things won't be so bad. Or maybe things will be the absolute worst they can be. Either way, all we can do is smile.

 

Strobist: One Interfit EX150 through an umbrella directly to Camera left, triggered by cord.

This features a well known quote from Lyra McKee, a journalist and writer killed by republican paramilitary gunfire in Derry which was aimed at police in April 2019.

 

This mural is on a hoarding at Kent Street, Belfast, at the corner with Union Street, beside the Sunflower bar.

2014... The start of a new year for me. All the plans of it being a new happy start, to start focussing on my happiness, the happiness of the people who matter to me, to find who I really am.

 

None of this went to plan.

 

The biggest shock came to me in January and I watched the people who matter most fall to pieces. I felt completely dragged on the ground.

 

Things will get better.

... sometimes... (even sunflowers)... so Hold On...

 

R.E.M. for Musically Inspired set #39/52

 

(... I think I'm finally caught up on this set now)

It's been a long week and a half. A difficult week and a half. But after I stopped feeling sorry for myself, I felt very loved. I am.

Never give up because great things take time!
