Will. i. Am

. .there are limits to the power of the will. The will knows about survival and endurance; it can direct attention and energy; it can finish things. But we cannot remember a tune or a dream on willpower. . . The will by itself cannot heal the soul. And it cannot create.

-Lewis Hyde


I think we all create.

No?

Artsy

I wish there was a website labeled Artsy. I'm sure there is something out there with the same idea as Etsy, however; I wish devoted to art in all as a gallery. Speaking of showcasing art I enjoy using Instagram on my IPhone. If you guys haven't checked it out its a great app for filtering pictures and then making them look professional. (For all of us that can't make our photoshop pictures look professional) Art is becoming a great way for me to hide away when I need solace. It is a chance to explore a side of me that was never tapped before. Coming up on the holidays I have seen a way to curb my emotions a bit by working it out on canvas. A Brighter Day is coming. Through art, through companionship, through perserverance..... A Brighter Day is coming.

An Epiphany

Hit 'Em High.

And We'll Watch Our Eagles Fly.

Fly Eagles Fly, On The Road To Victory.

E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!!!

Hiatus

To quit or not to quit......

that is the question.

This blog has gotten me through some of the toughest times

in my life. I've been able to lay out some thoughts and I'm glad that I pushed myself to do so. I've had a chance to display some of my paintings and discover some hidden poetry within my soul. I 

must say that this blog has gotten me through some really hard times. For some it may seem like constant babbling; however I see it as a place to showcase, describe or even repent about some of the crazy things that have happened in my life. This decision will be thought out over the next few days, but as for now I'm still on the fence. When I started this I always told myself if I am going to have difficulty writing blogs. Well I have hit a block. Things are a bit better in my life and I have you to thank for it. Here's to the next three days of thought.

Fallen

Smiles

When I hear her voice.

After I read a thoughtful text.

When she spoils me with her cooking.

After she updates me on the Philly score.

When she reads her Bible with me.

After we exit from a long shift at work.

When we take a walk with her daughter.

After the Buffalo Wild Wings encounter.

When she brings my students individual goody bags.

After a late night phone call clinging to keep one eyelid open.

When I brush the butterflies out of my stomach.

After I let go of her hand as I finish our prayer.

When I kiss her on the cheek.

After every smirk, wink and giggle.

She makes my heart Smile.
