Magpie Tales-Resolutions

Resolutions

I gave up
Thinking and started doing
I gave up
Doubting myself and took a risk
I gave up
Living in silence and anger
Choosing laughter and love
Started looking at the horizon
Found out what I was made of
What was true
What was real
For me
For you
I gave up
Not being me
Therefore,
I am new.

and yes, I gave up cigarettes too!! Happy New Year to all and thanks to Tess for  The Mag and the inspiration!!

no wrench
can fix
the fact
you hurt me

a new view

Mr. J and I took a trip out to New Mexico in late January, early February...We were blessed with beautiful weather.Hence the latest blog header of Kasha Katuwe "tent rocks" monument. The last few times we visited, the monument was closed so we were thrilled to be able to tackle the hike this visit. The only difference between this time and prior treks was the snow and ice at the top! Made the trip down a bit more exciting.

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort which is about 25 minutes north of Albuquerque. We must have passed this place a number of times on our past treks out to New Mexico but never saw it. Set on the Santa Ana Pueblo, we understood why as we made our way off the main highway and onto the hotel property, the hotel is virtually invisible until you are there --hidden in plain sight, the bosque and the Sandia mountains the only view one. Pretty amazing.

Magpie Tales-The Flame

caught in the day to day grind

it is hard to see the finish line

what was once fact

is now a question

in the back of

 the mind 

will it be

can it be

failure

success

past

future

known

unknown

dreams fuel

desire  inspire

keep moving

bright lights shine

on the horizon

a new day

will dawn

a new place and a new time
