2017 HAS BEEN A GREAT YEAR
FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER AND AN OCCASIONAL TEAR
PLENTY OF VISITS WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
MAKING MEMORIES THAT WILL NEVER END
A SUMMER ROAD TRIP IN A RENTAL CAR
SEEING NEW SIGHTS NEAR AND FAR
TRAVELLED TO SEVENTEEN STATES
OVER 4000 MILES, IT WAS GREAT
THIRTY TRIPS TO DISNEYLAND
LIFE IS MY OWN ADVENTURELAND
I HAVE A NEW NIECE AND NEPHEW TOO
ADD TO MY LOVE TO THE PREVIOUS TWO
CHURCH, AND WORK AND PLENTY OF FUN
ALWAYS DOING SOMETHING, OR ON THE RUN
MADE TIME TO READ SEVENTY BOOKS (*76 by the time year had ended)
ONCE I START, I JUST GET HOOKED
WENT TO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS AND THE LAKE
HOW MANY SELFIES CAN ONE PERSON TAKE
A BRIDESMAID THREE TIMES SINCE 2004
BUT NEVER A PINK FAIRY ONE BEFORE
WHO KNOWS WHAT 2018 WILL BRING
HOPEFULLY I'LL FIND JOY IN EVERYTHING
DO SERVICE FOR OTHERS AND FIND SOME CHEER
MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

Silence
Your silence speaks loudly
Many words to my ears
Your silence says things
I don't want to hear
I thought you were different
You even claimed to be
I thought you a friend
Then you abandoned me
I don't know what happened
Why did you change
It used to feel natural
Now you've taken away the sun
I'll keep moving forward
My life will keep going
I'll keep my perspective
No time to stop rowing
I'll remember the times
You made me feel loved
I'll remember many moments
Like an angel from above
You showed me who I am
& to be proud of me
You showed me my strength
& who I could be
Thank you for everything
The friendship once shown
Thank you for caring
Because now I have grown
You've made it too easy
To move forward now
You've made my decision
Can't look back anyhow
Remember in silence
Are words loud and clear
Remember the tears
In time will soon disappear
I've made my decision
On moving forward too
I've made my choice
To be silent to you

Short or unfinished poetry
When you smile
it lights the room
When you laugh
it erases all my gloom
When you talk
it fills my soul with glee
When you smile, laugh and talk
right to me
11/2/16
We make choices all day long
Choose to be weak
Or choose to be strong
3/28/17
Forgotten:
Sometimes I feel forgotten
Like I've been left behind
Am I really forgotten
Or is it just in my mind
It used to feel so simple
Things came so easily
When did it all crumble
And become my history?
9/24/17
I feel you looking down
What do you see
When you're looking down
Are you proud of me
I'm not sure where I'm going
Or who I'm meant to be
But I'm moving forward
I miss you Daddy

Forever and a day
The title says it all!! That's how long it has been since I have been on here and written anything! There have probably been like a million times that I have thought to write about life and such. I have also written some more poetry since I have been gone too... so I need to add those ... but first a little life update I guess....
In the past two years, a few friendships have come and gone. Life continues to be full of ups and downs. there have been many a trip to Disneyland, and many more funerals unfortunately. It is interesting how life continues on and with each new day and as I grow older and older, the funerals are becoming a little more consistant. It is hard to see how much my life has changed. It has also taught me to grow. It has helped me to know that I want to be the best I can be and I want to make sure that those around me know that they are loved. That they know that I am here and always will be if they need a friend. Life is full of curveballs, but if we are ready we can be prepared for it.
So in other news, my sister Denise and bro-in-law Neal moved to S. Carolina :( it is and has been hard, but it was also a blessing for them and for our family in one way... they were able to do more fertility stuff and now have the cutest set of twins ever! I love my niece Hazel and nephew Hudson so much! They are 5 months old already and are getting so big! I saw them when they were just a couple weeks old, and again about a month or so later at Thanksgiving! I miss them!
Other than that, I cannot think of too many new things to share. I am still renting where I moved 5 years ago (this month) after an unfortunate roommate situation with a former friend. It is fabulous here! I am not judged, I can come and go as I please. I don't feel I have to hide or anything else. I can make my own meals and my situation is way happier. It is nice too because I am not too far from my mom and family so I can see them frequently if I want or need to. Lately I haven't had the time! I am still working at CHP, 6 years this month, and it has been 2 years this month since I transferred to the Moorpark office. It is nice there, way better commute, and I have a free gym in the building which I attend daily after work. It is a nice bonus. In the meantime though I have tested and am in Rank 1 for an Office Supervisor position. Just looking for a spot to open up. I did apply and interview for one, but wasn't chosen. There have been a few other openings recently but even though I am considering relocating and moving if necessary, they were not in offices I was willing to move to, mostly because of the areas being too pricey to live. I know that Heavenly Father has something perfect in mind for me though, so I am trying to be patient.
Well I think that is about it for an update. Like I said, I am sure there are a bunch of things that have happened, that I should share about, but overall not too much has changed. Life is good. After this post, I am going to share a couple others of poetry I have written but not posted yet. Good night
