Counting blessings!!

Working late on my favorite holiday had me down so let's start counting:

1. A loving boyfriend who bought me pumpkins to carve when I get home at 1:30 am

2. A not so ideal job that is helping me to make my dreams of becoming a chef a reality.

3  A kickass family of animals to cuddle

4. A trip to Puerto Rico planned and plane tickets purchased

5. A super toasty bed waiting for me. 

6.financial plans to pay off my credit cards and be debt free by next year.

7. Making delicious gourmet hot pockets at work.

8. Creative friends who are out having a blast and a half!! 

9. A good stock of "treat yoself" lush bath bombs

Ahh...I feel better :3

You almost had me there

For a minute it didn't matter. 

For a minute I didn't care. 

For a minute I was lost in my thoughts.

I was here but didn't know where.

For a moment I was surrounded by nothing ad everything at once.

Almost asleep and per chance.

To dream I was different on the inside and out.

I was looking so happy without worries and doubt.

But the veil of sleep has faded and fallen.

And I am just the same.

Strange and awkward. 

Unhappy and dim. 

How do I come back to that feeling when I'm wide awake?

 Do I see alertness as a mistake?

The minutes are passing and the lines are blurring. 

I want to feel it all while my body's fast asleep.

I want to dream it all while I walk down the street.

To be the girl I always wanted with my eyes wide shut
