The sun is shining
And yet a cold undertone
Bites into the impression
That summer has arrived
Bitter reminder
That under the warmth
Coldness remains
Or
Hopeful illusion
That above the cold
There is hope?

Look Forward
Look forward
To new beginnings
And magical mysteries –
Days past are as dust
On a desert plain
To Overcome
The best way to overcome something
Is to simply overcome it
To not think about it
Not obsess over it
Not talk about it
Just move on
And I am
Moving
On
Which One?!
Okay, I’m down to three, and for the life of me I can’t decide! Birthday shopping Vonita-style, they each have their own card and wrapping paper. All with return vouchers so I can obsess in comfort.
So, A (florabotanica 100ml), B (Issey Miyake Pure with gift box 90ml), C (FlowerBomb teeny weeny 30mls with gift box), or D (flowerbomb 50ml but no gift box)? All similar values.
Help! Which one!
(My friend is in age range 45-49 if that makes a difference?)
Feminine
All Yours
Forbidden kisses
Dance across my mind – your lips
Chase my resistance
Open Air
One by one
My feel-good band-aids
Have all fallen away
Leaving my wounds
Exposed to the open air
Fragranced
Eternity
Beautiful, poignant song!
Paradise
The good thing about growing older is that there are always memories. And always some good ones amongst all the rest. Lately I’ve been reading my fb notifications, and some of them have been making me cringe. Especially the ones from 2014 when I was going ape-crazy over blog excitement. Nowadays I’ve toned down a bit. No longer publicizing to fb. And going ape-crazy.
This morning I saw some happy flashbacks. Four years ago today we were enjoying an idyllic Fijian island vacation. My children were 9 and 6 respectively.
We spent 8 full days eating, swimming, snorkeling, eating, sleeping, relaxing, eating, swimming. Full catering included.
A paradise. Heaven on earth!
