Nature’s Beauty (poem)

~ thereluctantpoet

Come and see the delightful and lovely portrait of – NATURE’S BEAUTY!!!

Blue Sky Days 365

Take a moment to open your eyes
and really look around
Observe the beauty of the world
and listen to the sound
Of crickets chirping in the grass
and the buzz of busy bees
As dusk approaches we can hear
birds singing in the trees
Appreciate the meadows green
and sunset’s glowing light
The twinkling stars within the sky
that brighten up the night
Watch springtime lambs and daffodils
as clouds float in the sky
See autumn leaves in rusty shades
fall from branches high
The contrast of the seasons
gives ever changing hues
From crisp white snow to golden sands
and sparkling seas of blue
So, get up from what you’re doing
and take a walk outside
be mindful as you experience
our beautiful countryside

Cuffing Season

During the fall and winter months, some singles may wish to be “cuffed” or tied down by a serious relationship.

Friends with Benefits

Two friends who have a sexual relationship without being emotionally involved.

Ghosting

Ending a relationship with a friend by cutting off all contact and not providing any explanations.

Hatfishing

Wearing a hat to cover up baldness, bad hair days, or other unfortunate hair…

Underflowing

Come and enjoy Sarah’s wonderful Love Poem – UNDERFLOWING!

Sarah Doughty

“Have I ever mentioned how
you make me feel?
Like I’m whole.”

Have I ever mentioned how you make me feel? The way your body behaves like a magnet, pulling me towards you. And it’s subtle. Like a current beneath waves. I allow it to carry me towards you and the closer I come to you, I feel more whole than ever before. I don’t mind that I have no lifeline, because that’s exactly what you are to me.

Quote of the Week

A Quote of the Week post by Just Me. On how to handle Letting Go.

HappymessHappiness

When a thing has served its purpose, it will go away. If you try to hold on to something that has already fulfilled its purpose in your life, you are going to hurt yourself. If holding on is disturbing your peace of mind, it makes sense to let go. Surrender all attachments to people and things that you have been struggling to hold on to.
