Thank you, for your Attitude of Gratitude:
At times we question our emotions or even attempt to control them believing emotions are a sign of weakness. This can be toxic leaving us truly weak.
Affirmation: I embrace my emotions with gratitude!
I love you, Annette Rochelle Aben
In response to Sue Vincent’s weekly #writephoto prompt of this week: Web
It was my suit of armor, the web of lies I wove. Couldn’t let them get to know the real me for then they would surely leave. I was a more interesting person with the lies. I felt powerful.
Shield yourself from the pain of rejection. Never allow them to walk away first. Don’t give them the power of thinking they have your number!
When I choose to, I can peel off the armor and free myself of the weight of it all. But who am I fooling? It’s just another lie I tell to make myself feel strong.
A river of tears
Flowing freely from within
Clears a path for joy

Hush
There is
A bunny
Eating flowers
Outside the window
Unaware of the show
It is providing for those
Struck inside in their wheelchairs
Who sit and wait all day long to see
A bunny come by to eat the flowers

So
She prays
Every day
This is the week
She gets to go home
She’s been here eight weeks now
The frustration has begun
No one tells her the same story
They all shrug their shoulders when she asks
Please, tell me when you will let me go home
