I Haven’t Written in a Long Time

by Danielle Atkinson, posted in Memories, Pain, Help, sadness, grief, pain, prayer, peace, Uncategorized

I haven’t written in a long time not because I wouldn’t.

I haven’t written in a long time just because I couldn’t.

There were a lot of things that I could have said but I didn’t want to.

So now I feel the need to say what I have been through.

I lost my mom recently and it had me down.

My words should give hope to someone so that’s why I write them down.

I am trying to open up but it’s easier to stay in the shadows and not make a sound.

Quietly thinking of memories we shared. Her and I were alike in ways that seemed different until now.

I miss her voice though it still echoes in my head. I miss her love although it will always be around.

I will be alright because she left me strong, and one day I’ll see her again so I’ll just keep holding on.

Activity

We are always active, but what are we active doing?  Is it helpful, hurtful, fulfilling, or time consuming?  We spend time doing things that we love doing or doing things we have to do.  Either way our activities create our life, whether those activities are consuming our lives or whether those activities are adding to our lives is our own perception.  Choose those activities that enhance your life.  Choose activities that enhance others around you.  Choose activities that add to your existence and the existence of human life and you will never feel unfulfilled.  You will feel fueled to do more of those types of activities.

Today I Found A Card

by Danielle Atkinson, posted in Growth, Memories, Uncategorized

Today I found a card, a memory of you.

It brought back such a warm feeling, thinking of all we used to do.

Moments at your home, listening to you talk and all the things you would cook for us just because you could.

I missed you more today as I read the cards’ inside.

I’ll never forget the lessons you taught me and how much I kept of you by how I live my life.

I wish I could see you and spend some time at your home.

You would get such joy with my children, I would never leave you alone.

I know you are in a better place far away from here, but I miss you, I love you, and today my heart aches.

I thank God He allowed me to sit and listen to all of the wise things you would say.

How I wish you were near, and how I wish you could stay.
