Looking Back

I’ve paused. Took a deep breath, and turned around. I’m seeing many things and people that have happened in my life this year. The final month of the year is not here yet. Just around the corner. Lurking. Ready to take us all on. But I feel like I’m through. Done, finished, gotten over the year. I have many anticipations and fears for the year to come; with so many uncertainties in store.

The past has been sweet, bitter, with wishes fulfilled and dreams turned into nightmares. I’ve paused to take one last look at everything. One final wave. When I turn back, I will have no regrets, no tears, nor fears of my past. Pick up all the debris and mend all that is broken. Appreciate all that has been bequest upon me. Not forgetting the lessons that I’ve learnt and the promises that I’ve made.

A year older, a year lived. Take all my experiences with a pinch of salt and touch base with reality. Accommodating lost and feeling my way through a masquerade. I am still learning to endure these two very distinctive affairs in my life right now. So far, I’ve been euphoric and indignant along the way. I will survive.

Anticipate all and expect nothing. I feel that this helps in sincerely giving over and over again.

Some once said that ‘change is the only constant thing in life’. Please leave a comment if you know who coined this phrase.

Lastly, if all else fails, create a distraction. It'll buy you time. *wink*

Happy holidays & a happy new year to you!

Caramel - By Suzanne Vega

It won't do,
To dream of caramel,
To think of cinnamon,
And long for you.

It won't do,
To stir a deep desire,
To fan a hidden fire,
That can never burn true.

I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
These things begin;

But I don't know,
How I would live with myself,
What I'd forgive of myself,
If you don't go.

So goodbye,
Sweet appetite,
No single bite,
Could satisfy.

I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
These things begin;

But I don't know,
How I would live with myself,
What I would give of myself,
If you don't go.

It won't do,
To dream of caramel,
To think of cinnamon,
And long For you.

My favourite drinks are Caramel Ice Blended & Cinnamon Ice Blended at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. With lots of cream.... yumm....mmmm.....The aroma, the sweet smooth taste, the coolness of blended ice that melts into liquid in your mouth.
Ah, a sinful pleasure. Yup. After indulging in one of those babies (I always go for a regular sized one) it's off to the gym or the pool!
