yesterday I stubbed my toe
nothing was making sense
my imprints vanishing
closed in by life’s fence
today I followed my footsteps
retraced some of my steps
jumped similar waves
discovered no more regrets
tomorrow I’ll follow my heart
no matter the cost
sing to you and the sea birds
our smiles will never be lost

Where do you find your younger self?
People to enjoy these last few days with the A to Z Challenge:
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Gud skaper noko nytt ved sitt Ord og sin Ande, vi kan ta imot det i tru og få oppleve at han gjer sitt verk med oss. Hans skaparkraft verkar konstuktivt i våre liv og skaper noko som er verdifullt for oss. Naturkreftene verkar nedebrytande, i fylgje entropilova, men Gud er Ånd og det som er født av hans Ande består. Jesu frelsesverk er fullbrakt og fullkome. Han er den siste Adam, som er ifrå himmelen og som for oss har vorte ei livgjevande ånd. Han gjev oss den Heilage Ande frå himmelen av berre nåde. Han gjev oss det evige livet.
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe

Lovely. I find it when I go to a fair or carnival. I’m always getting my face painted. I’m 31. At least I have a toddler now and have an excuse.

I’ve got the grands…but humor has always been a part of my life.
I’m might have become a tad more responsible…but I don’t think I’ve ever ‘grown-up’.
My younger self…wasn’t a good place. I am happy where I am now. 🙂

I recently found my younger self when I read Anne of Green Gables. I had watched the tv series and loved it, but had never read the book. Reading it brought me right back to all of those lovely feelings I had about Anne when I was younger.

Cool poetry! I find my younger selves nested within myself mostly, and sometimes on a rocking horse, or swings, or in train stations buying rubbishy cheap toys/souvenirs/candy floss.
