Monday Reflections: Lingering Monster

A fun-filled night out with friends. A few good smiles and laughs. Some heartbreaking news. Some sorrow-filled tears. Whatever the reason. Whatever the cause. The memories still haunt. The monster still lingers. ——————————————————————————————————————————— I’ve been seizure free for 15 months now. It’s a length of time that I thought I would never see again, butContinue reading “Monday Reflections: Lingering Monster”

Monday Reflections: One in twenty-six

Twenty-six people living ordinary lives. Some learning to walk for the very first time. Others with wrinkles around their eyes. All filled with dreams waiting to be realized. Then, one of those twenty-six is caught off guard. Their greens turned red. Their ups turned upside down. Their life taken away by a silent, electrical terrorist.Continue reading “Monday Reflections: One in twenty-six”

Monday Reflections: Finding Yourself

  The atmosphere is but a blank canvas. Color exists only in the form of charcoal grays. I’m standing in the middle of nowhere where the mountains are my only companions. I tip toe across this rocky terrain hoping not to fall through the cracks. In this place, I’m searching for the girl I used toContinue reading “Monday Reflections: Finding Yourself”

Monday Reflections: Monday Blues

I hold my breath and close my eyes hoping the pain will come and go. I try to go on as if it was just another day. There is no denying that the sunset has left and the sunrise has followed. It is another day, but it’s another day without you here. When I readContinue reading “Monday Reflections: Monday Blues”

Monday Reflections: Time

Time does not yield, much less stop. It’s always moving It’s always passing. Time isn’t something we can hold onto. It isn’t tangible. It isn’t reversible. Time doesn’t tell us how much we’ve been given. It could be today or tomorrow. It could be years from now. Time is a mystery so we should liveContinue reading “Monday Reflections: Time”

Monday Reflections: Silver Linings

When your thoughts become overcrowded, remember there is a silver lining behind each dark cloud. When the hefty storms leave you feeling like a weeping willow, remember the tempest will leave behind a beautiful rainbow. At times, the world will seem overwhelming. At times, everything will be overbearing. But when you feel like you’re atContinue reading “Monday Reflections: Silver Linings”

Monday Reflections: The Beast Within

How do you live with a monster in your head? How do you continue when it tries to knock you dead? I’ve found myself caught between two worlds. There’s the easygoing Dr. Jekyll. And there’s the frightening Mrs. Hyde. Jekyll and Hyde. Which one really am I? I can’t control the latter. I want toContinue reading “Monday Reflections: The Beast Within”

Monday Reflections: Why must weekends end?

Melodic sounds of Bach and Mozart hum through my ears. The aroma of fresh, hot coffee fills the air. It’s a slow morning, much like all Mondays are. One wishes weekends could be long-lasting. One wishes we could have slept just a bit longer. But weekdays have a way of getting here before expected. IContinue reading “Monday Reflections: Why must weekends end?”
