Efficiency

I butted in and stomped my foot and demanded that Running42K tag me for this, so here goes. I haven't written a story in weeks, my life is full and happy and busy. In a nutshell, Last First Date guy loves me, I bought a Mercedes, my youngest son got all A's...which is a first for all three of my children...I'm building a new flower bed and summer writing classes have started.

Oh shit, I better do my homework!

Until I get that done, this will have to suffice.

I know – that life is beautiful, and the valleys are worth the panoramic views that follow.
I believe – in the power of love, in its many forms, and that certain people pass through your life, but live in your heart forever.
I fought – depression, obesity, childhood trauma, fear...and I won...
I am angered – by disrespect, of others, of children, of animals, of our planet.
I love – my beautiful sons, my fishpond, my life...still considering Last First Date Guy.
I need – almost nothing...to be loved just as I am.
I take – great pride in my work, regardless of the task.
I hear – birds singing the most beautiful songs in the morning by my fishpond.
I drink – rarely.
I hate – gratuitious violence in movies.
I use – a vibrator more often that I care to admit.
I want – to sleep alone less often.
I decided – that everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reasons take a while to show themselves.
I like – coffee in the morning.
I am - a writer, and happier than I have been in a very long time.
I feel – most things more deeply than is probably healthy...but that is part of what gives me my charm.
I left – the past behind me.
I do – almost anything I want to do.
I hope – to teach my children the wonder of being themselves.
I dream – in bright vivid color, and remember those dreams for days afterwards.
I drive – (drumroll, please) a silver 2001 Mercedes Benz
I listen – with my heart.
I type – as fast as I can think.
I think – I am unique and wonderful and I will make a difference in the world.
I wish – for strength and patience.
I compensate – for being late all the time by being extra charming.
I regret – almost nothing...not taking more time off when my boys were babies.
I care – about people and places I will never see.
I should – stop procrastinating.
I am not always - a sex maniac, I just seem that way to my friends.
I said – Stop! And I meant it.
I wonder – at the beauty of nature, and the diversity of life and experience.
I changed – the way I think about food and men...in that order.
I cry – at the silliest things, at anything that moves my heart...like Charlotte's Web and when my son got all A's, and when the hummingbird hovered over the waterfall for a drink.
I am – a purveyor of beautiful words and flowers.
I am not – ruled by my work ethic, although I was at one time, and I have respect for those that are.
I lose – my train of thought far more often that I like to admit.
I leave – a trail of happy clients....at least, I like to think I do.
