A Little Ditty

 Found a little something  wrote late one night back in August.  

So I thought I'd share it here. 

Hope you like it. 

Bits and Tits

Angry Bits
Angry Tits

You can go ahead and Kiss My Grits

Who the Fuck gives a Shit?

You think I’m Strong?

Well, Yes…Yes I Am!

But do beware of the “strong ones”
They too need to Roar
They too need to be Seen and Heard

They too break down

And all too often the shattered pieces remain all over the floor
And all too often people just keep walking by as if nothing happened.

I ain’t no Humpty Dumpty
I ain’t no Princess either

I don’t need no Fairy Fucking Godmother
Or some Prince Charming

What I need is a solid landing
Because this chic is tired of sliding about.
 

 

Monday Monday...

 Bah-da bah-da-da-da....

It's one of those days. 

 Does Monday make you think of that Mama's and Papa's song?  

Or is it just on those melancholy days?  

Today is a lazy day for me.  The sun is out and thankfully so.  I need some sunshine and I like the warm glow it gives me when I sit outside.  Not too chilly either so outside time is not so bad.  I like the gentle warming it gives my achy bones. 

Lots to write but hard to focus.  I have a good post about grief that I need to clean up and publish here.  So much to discuss about grief and yet....we really don't talk about it now do we?  

Maybe I've been talking to the wrong people.  Maybe not. 

Regardless, I hope the sun is out shining brightly out your way.  We still have a way to go for the Winter season to end but I will take this day and embrace it for all it's worth.  And with that said, I will leave you with a quote that struck me as something important to say, remember and share.  I hope you like it. 

"You can't fix me, but you can hold my hand while I fix myself. " 

Until next time...elizinashe. 

New Year New You

A Toast to You !

 Happy New Year! 

A few days late that is..oops! 

So did you celebrate?  Did you watch the Ball Drop?  Did you get a kiss? 

I like New Year's Eve.  I don't go out and party although I have done so in the very distant past, but these days, I like to be in my old lady clothes, sipping on some wine and eating snacks from the comfort of my messy home.  No crowds and I always have access to the bathroom.  No waiting lines there! 

I'm not one much for making "resolutions".  I never stick  with them anyway.  Do you?

 

I just try and take it day by day.  And as of late that is all I can do.  Holiday Hangover Blues anyone?  But I do hope and will make a most fervent effort to get to the beach, take another real vacation and work on getting my basement cleared out and my house back in order.  I might need some helpers in that department.  

 

Anyone make a resolution to help others?  I know someone who could use an extra pair of helping hands.  haha...until next time...elizinashe.

I'm Coming to Get Ya Beach Time !

Happy Happy Happy....

Cheers !

 What is your "Happy Place"? 

 

I recently visited some friends in Maryland that I have not seen since the beginning of 2020.  Before the Pandemic chaos and before my mom died and all of the fallout that ensued afterwards.  It has been a long, long three years.  And I was way overdue for a fun vacation. 

My friends got married in September with family only at the Outer Banks, NC.  This is an annual family trip they take every year.  The Beach is their "happy place" and they decided that this year why not make it official and get married?  And so they did...and there was much rejoicing. 

So then I was posed with the  question "what is my happy place'?  

I had to think on that one a bit.  I'm not a beach person per say nor do I take an annual trip to any one particular location.  Certainly I do like being at home as that is how I regroup and center myself.  Especially with the working hours I have~that night shift sure can be wonky !

But I do like to travel and I am blessed to have very close friends who live in cool areas to visit and very special friends who live here in my area.  So if I had to choose...well, I guess my "happy place" is visiting my friends whether it is near or far.  

I don't care if we sit on the deck, share a meal together, sit at home and chat away.  Stop in at your favorite watering hole or check out a local brewery. Sit in the yard and watch the birds and the squirrels.   My time with friends is precious.  I don't need anything fancy~just time and laughter.  And oh!  Hugs and Kisses are the bonus.  Who doesn't like a good long hug?  

So what is your "happy place'?  

Until next time...elizinashe

Hooray For The Happy Place !

 

 

A Bit of a Ramble

 Monday Monday

Hot Day Labor Day

No bills in the mail

No cookout to be had

Time to piddle and diddle

Clutter piles?  Yep. Sure have them. 

Clean it up?

Maybe…

Music beckons. 

And so does laundry. 

But for now I think I’ll just hang around for a bit

Happy Labor Day

Until next time…elizinashe

Knock Knock

 Anybody home?  

 

It's been a while.  A long while. 

 

I'm still here.  Are you?  

 

The summer months have proved to be busy.  But not necessarily in a good way but not completely bad either.  I look forward to things slowing down some so I can breathe and relax.  So much juggling in my neck of the woods.  Will it ever stop? 

 

I have lots to clear out of my head but for today I am just being lazy.  I need a day like that to recharge my inner battery.  And my soul.  And that is totally okay.  The Fall season is soon upon us and I look forward to cooler days and quiet nights at home.  

 

I hope you do as well.  Until next time...elizinashe

A Little Something I Wrote

 Sharing a little something I wrote earlier in the month as the words just came into my mind late one night while I was at work.  So I hammered it out to get it out of my head.  I guess that is how a lot of writers live.  Am I a writer?  I dunno.  But...here ya go.  Hope you enjoy.  

 

Taste

I had a Taste

I had a Taste of what it was like

I had a Taste of what it was supposed to be

 

What it Should be

            Could be

            Would be

            Wanted to be

            Meant to be

 

I had a Taste

And I liked it

And I thought that taste would stay

But now it just feels slightly bitter. 

 

Until next time...elizinashe
