Bittersweet Autumn

The dawn arrives, gray and somber.
A chill air, alive with a lingering scent of smoke
wraps itself around the dying leaves
Ablaze with gold and crimsons;
Sounds of silence creep between bare trees,
Which the birds have long abandoned.
Summer fades; the bittersweet autumn has begun.

Some random things

A few things that about me that are weird or random that you might not know:

1. I hate talking on the phone in front of other people, doesn’t matter who I’m talking to, I prefer to talk to them by myself with no one around or other listening ears.

2. If someone is calling me and I don’t know the number, I don’t answer it, leave a message and I might get back to you.

3. Some days I can’t stand clutter, everything has to be in its place and neat and tidy, but other days, I don’t really care. My room could be a mess and I wouldn’t care, I guess as long as the clutter is organized. Haha, an oxymoron: organized clutter.

4. I used to have to fall asleep on my back, but now I can only fall asleep on my right side, I could even sleep that way the whole night. A little ouchie in the morning, but it goes away.

5. Even though she died almost a year ago, I still think about my dog every day and how I wish she was alive. I can’t think about her for a long time, because I get really upset.

6. I enjoy watching shows like Ice Road Truckers and Man Vs Wild, and lately I’ve become a huge fan of Cash Cab on Discovery Channel.

I believe that is all for now :)

The summer night is like a perfection of thought

The summer solstice will occur one week from today, the longest day of the year. Although summer officially begins on that day, many people mark the start of the season when the Canada Day long weekend begins, even though it often does not fall on a Monday. The days are passing so quickly now, they seem to be the last few years or so. Are we wishing too many days to pass? Have our lives become so monotonous that each day we pray for the next to arrive? Surely not. Time is precious, it heals all wounds, but it takes people and precious things away too. We have to learn to deal with it, with everything that happens in our lives. The summer will fade into autumn, lets make the most of it....

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
John Lubbock


Light dancing amid shallow pools of cerulean,
swirling mercilessly, never ending.
Soothing winds brush against blooming gardens
of magenta and cobalt.
Petals rise, like butterflies attracted to the gold rays of the sun

…and are carried away.
With them flow the sweet smells of summer.

Just some words that make me smile... :)

It's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

I'm not the prettiest and I'm not the skinniest, but I'm honest and I'm real. And it will never get any better than that. =)

If I behaved, I'd die of boredom.

Women are angels, and when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly .... on a broomstick. We are flexible like that...

Normal is ........ getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it. - Ellen DeGeneres

Dreaming is good, believing is better, making it happen is best.

Life is not about the number of breaths you take in a moment, it's about the num...ber of moments that take your breath away.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. Edgar Allen Poe

Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, dreams are forever. - Walt Disney

Happiness most often comes unplanned and inexpectedly-- like a shooting star on a silent night.

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you will land among the stars.

If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick up one of those pieces and begin again.

Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you only live this life once, so live it and be happy.

Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life. You don't have to live forever, you just have to live.

It's your life, what you gonna do?
The world is watching you.
Everyday the choices you make,
Say what you are and who your heart beats for.
It's an open door.

Believe in love
Believe in magic,
Hell, believe in Santa Claus.
Believe in others,
Believe in yourself.
If you don't, then who will?

So close no matter how far. Couldn't be much more from the heart. Forever trusting who we are. And nothing else matters. - Metallica, Nothing Else Matters

O' Canada, our home and native land

True patriot love, in all thy sons command

With glowing hearts, we see thee rise

From far and wide, O' Canada
We stand on guard for thee

God keep our land, glorious and free

O' Canada, we stand on guard for thee

O' Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

"I believe in the power that comes
From a world brought together as one
I believe together we'll find
I believe in the power of you and I.
I believe the time is right now
Stand tall and make the world proud
I believe together we'll fly.

I believe in the power of you and I."
