Goldfish snacks

we have all bitten off their tiny fish smiles. however I would never dream of putting an actual fish face in my mouth. so why is there such a deep contentment in this action?

today i found dog salmon fish snacks. i am resisting the urge to put them into a bowl of human snacks at work.... but idk how long i can hold out....

Fortune

Fortune comes in threes

sometimes dropping me to my knees

Washing your soul to and fro

wondering just what way to go

Taking gold so fast i pray

that we will be able to eat in one more day

The narrow escapes God laids out

are keeping us just bearly afoot

So I ask of Fortune to send some good

cause my allotment of stress has reached the roof

one more long day... then a nap

How many times have I said that to myself? days?  weeks? years?

I do not remember time going by so quickly when I was in my 20s. carefree and in love. we had all the time in the world. now holding hands for 3 minutes seems a stolen luxury. 

maybe tomorrow? I will make time for a nap. say no to chores. not worry about gold. for one hidden day, hide from the world and just hear the sound of my heart. a glorious secret nap.

A Hard Days Work

Why is it so satisfying to have completed a hard days work? Is it cause our bodies crave activity? Our brains had to flex? Or is it the serotonin dump from seeing the results? Or very possible its worth it for the guilt free bubble bath we are rewarded with. 

what is a fear

fear to me is the faceless emotion that keeps us safe or holds us back. this is true whether its fear of spiders or of success. once it has a face can you be strong anuff to overpower your own mind?

training a puppy who was fearless up to yesterday, has been such a joy to learn from. now im just worried he will live life as we all do. with only slight hope and darkness in the corners of his mind.

Have I just gotten old?

When was it I started to care if the sox were the same color? Why do I want a simple to care for home? How is it the cardboard end table is no longer super awesome? Have I finally decided what I want I life? Or I've just become too tired? But probably I have started to become old, maybe wisdom will also soon befall me?

The Smell of Cookies

Normally when one thinks about the smell of cookies, you close your eyes for a moment and feel the mhmmmmm deep in your soul.

But not tonight.

Tonight the cookies filled the air with the aromatic scent of cooked kibble mixed with chicken.....

What wonderful smells said a baby covered in fur.
