I can't update goal progress every couple of weeks as this is going to take a couple of years. Debt Reduction Services deducts $408.00 from my checking account and then makes monthly payments on my credit cards. I had a five year contract and am down to the last two years. It is good to see those balances coming down every month. This company is saving me t...

My birthday was June 10. My law firm threw me a little surprise. I was led into one of the bigger offices and they had cake, sang happy birthday, and gave me 3 very nice presents: a nice blue dress shirt with cuff links, black pants and brown dress shirt. I was touched and told them I never had a workplace do that for me before. One of the women said, "Well you're...1 Recommendation -

untitled so far
As I lie here and cry, watching days pass me by
I look at myself in fear wondering what I'm doing here.
Hating all that I am, knowing I am damned.
As I lie here and think, reaching for another drink
I look at myself in disguest wondering who I can trust.
Wishing only to be gone, hoping this life doens't last long.
As I lie here knowing I can't quit, looking for another hit

So, went to see the SS doc and do the testing for the SSDI,,what a waste of money and time and effort. All to tell me that I am sick and 'sever', etc.

Yes, I'm pretty crushed. I should have known seen that coming. Oh well, another stumble in this desert of life. I just wonder which lesson was I supposed to learn if any from this. The chain of devastation had left me without energy to do anything but basic necessities, feed, bathe, clean..Interestingly, the money is the least of my concerns.

I miss having a man to make love to. I hate that I had to go and pleasure myself. I don't miss Tony my stbx but I do miss having a man around to hold and caress.
Funny, I am hornier now than I was before the separation. Don't know why. Maybe it's age ( I am 41 now) or maybe now that Tony is gone I feel more relaxed and able to explore my sexuality more? I wish I had...1 Recommendation11 Comments

Depths of dark
an evil woman
stole my art
heart beating
skipping beats in heaviness
sinking pain so deep
pills and sleep
and touching earth so deep
running
praying for release
dead dog
dead bird so sweet
tears beneath my feet
making friends with trees
falling to my knees
i look up again ~
this is my own photo.
and these are my own words.

Dress Up
Purgatory;
a musty closet with
the stale scent of cedar chips
at the bottom.
The scents of a home that remind you -
this is a family of four now.
A fractured fraction that tears your world apart.
A coat is hanging,
Daddy's coat,
still many sizes too big.
Tan corduroy
but layered like a quilt parade.
The warmth of a lifetime,
with leather-covered wooden buttons
bobbling against lo...1 Recommendation9 Comments -

Current Pain, Future Blessings
Monday, March 17, 2008
Someone puts out a lit cigarette on my retina. Alien strobe lights attack with guided-missile accuracy. Laser beams hold my gaze. No gentle, comforting looks that sustain the prayer that pain is temporary. Only searing brightness that pushes beyond where sight originates from.
I am a hobo being kicked upside the head in a fight over my cardboard box. Weekly I am tossed out of my body, ...2 Recommendations8 Comments -

"I Will Be There for You"
When I lost faith
You believed in me
When I stumbled
You were right there
For every act of love you've done
I owe you one
There were hard times
I know I survived
Just because you stayed by my side
With all I have, with all I ama
I promise you all my life
Whenever the road is too long
Whenever the wind is too strong
Wherever the journey may lead to
I will be there for you

We sit and we type and we stare at our screens.
We all have to wonder what this possibly means
With our mouse we roam through the rooms in a maze
Looking for something or someone as we sit in a daze
We chat with each other we type all our woes
Some are lucky to find friends hopefully no foes
We wait for somebody to type out our name
We want recognition to get out of this pain
We give hugs and kisses and ...1 Recommendation4 Comments -

Dear Gambling Disease,
I am writing to inform you that you suck it wasn't just a buck.
When you said just one more
I wish I would have slammed the door.
You kept promising an exciting life
but the payouts proved exhausting strife .
You keep begging to stay
yet I keep pushing you away.2 Recommendations3 Comments -

We need friends
We need each other...
In times of private pain,
of fear and stress;
We need each other...
to share our joys,
our times of happiness;
We need each other...
to hold on and be strong, and
encourage when things are going wrong;
We need each other...
to keep the faith and love,
and remind each other of all
the things we're dreaming of;
We need each other... now and
always
