Not so Hopless..

Well, No Internet these days and no love!! But maybe I am not so hopeless anymore because I haven't even thought about it. Giving up meaningless crushes and encounters has been liberating! How easy it is to say no thank-you with a smile :) Hopefully I can avoid the holiday hook-ups which never lead anywhere in the New Year.
Unknowingly I have been working on me, and my little apartment. Glancing around last night at my place all decorated for Christmas with a glass of wine and painted nails I smiled realizing how content I am in my little world of books, work, friends, hockey and whatever else I can find to fill the time. Besides avoiding holiday hook-ups I have also managed to avoid the winter blues by being completely, exhausting-ly busy and I love it! I may be speaking too soon on that one, but hopefully not! I think that if I keep busy enough and work hard enough I will wake up one day exactly where I want to be, and I hope romance will follow that. But if not I think I'm OK with that too. Being alone doesn't mean you are lonely, and lonely I am certainly not! I will try to keep some posts coming, although it seems a little silly blogging about the lack of love in my life! Oh well!

Well my internet has been down, my schedule fuller than full, about to get fuller and no one has caught my eye! I have been reading and watching things of romantic substances but have yet to be inspired. So I will keep this short and sweet and send out the wish of something coming my way soon to inspire these hands to write and my heart to beat :) Until then,
The Hopeless Romantic
(Who is too busy to be hopeless or romantic at the moment)

You took me home to see your new guitar, Turning it up, you shook me all night long

Summer Wind Down

The day are still hot, but the cool August air is a reminder that the Summer is coming to an end. Some of the trees are starting to change and Autumn is ready to make an appearance. It has always been my favorite time of year, however this summer may have been the most enjoyed so far. For the first time in my adult life I had time off, time in the sun, the sand, under the stars at night with no reason to go in early. I loved every minute of it. But whether we want it to or not, time goes on.
The changing of the seasons can be viewed as a new beginning. I don't see any reason not to start over, make improvements. So here I go again, I will take on a start as fresh as the Autumn air! Crisp, cool and refreshing :)Whether we realize it or not we are always changing, so I feel excited to embrace and change with the season. As sad as I am so say good-bye to summer, I am happy to say hello to what is next! (As well and cute sweaters and scarves!)
And of course with all changes there is the one I hoplessly still want... but until then,
The Hopeless Romantic

Home Shore

I find myself in the same place as this time last year. Traveling home along the shores of Lake Superior. I feel at home when we cross that line and the lake becomes visible with the water crashing against the shore. I sit on the soft sand and emerge myself in the waters, waters that are suppose to be so cold, but feel so right. Watching the sun set leaves me smiling feeling at peace. It's a good feeling, a good end to an amazing summer. It leaves me feeling refreshed for the fall, ready to take on whatever is coming Hopefully something great is on its way!

Sun is shining, weather is sweet, makes you wanna move your dancing feet!

Sweet Summertime! That is pretty much all.. bonfires, lakes, swimming, beaches, sand between your painted toes! Tanning, drinks and that feeling like you will be forever young. Not sure I have felt it like this in a while, so I am going to enjoy it while it lasts <3

Take Me

On a weekend trip a little while ago I was reminded how much I love this country, specifically this part of it. I got to be surrounded by nature, which also reminded me that it something I need to do more of. I was inspired, inspired to write without rhyme (literally) or reason. To write just because I HAD to in that moment. So I gave a shot at stream-of consciousness. Here it is.

Take me

Take me to the place where trees grow upside down, where purple flowers grow out of rocks and diamonds shine on the water.

The writings in the stone hold stories of old and the stars blink their blessings down on us.

We fall from cliffs to be embraced by the summer waters and let the fire light the doorways to our hearts.

Stones rise out of the waters to hold the secrets of magic summer days and nights.

Share your magic with me, share your secrets.

Take me.
