Thought I’d share my Valentine’s morning with you. Haha. Some exciting stuff.
I woke up early because I had an exam. Face washed. Teeth brushed. Hair straightened. I started looking through my closet. After what felt like forever, I picked something to wear. Then, I hurried into the kitchen to mix a morning protein shake. I poured it into my favorite glass jar and I jumped into my car. When I got to San Marcos, the Lord provided. Like “for real” provided…I got a parking spot close to class! As I was zipping up my bag, I forgot to put my keys and phone inside, so I ended up holding my keys, phone, and protein shake in one hand. With the other hand, I shut the car door and slung my backpack over my shoulder. Before I could realize what was happening, it slipped out of my hands. My favorite glass jar. Falling in slow motion to meet the asphalt below. A complete and shattered mess.
All I could do was stand there. And stare at it.
After a few seconds, something came over me and I laughed. Life happens, I thought. Because I didn’t want anyone to run over it, I started collecting the pieces into a pile (the photo above) and that’s when I cut my finger. The bleeding started. Great. At that moment, I remembered that I didn’t have time for any of this. My class was already starting. So I hauled my butt up the hill to my class, finger bleeding and my stomach reminding me how much I needed that morning shake.
So um, Happy Valentine’s Day to me.
Haha. It was a good reminder to smile. And keep stepping.
Here are some poems about love & such. Enjoy:) (A new poem is started when the words shift to a different side of the page.)
blink not once but twice because what you’re seeing is real they are here they will support you the ups the downs and it’s okay to unclench your hand and allow yourself to love once again
it’s a sweet feeling that’s what they tell me
it gets hard i see it in people’s eyes loving gets hard sometimes but it’s worth it
the guy on the bike he passed me and i turned just in time for him to reach out and hand me a rose “Happy Valentine’s Day” his voice echoed left behind as he made his way down the sidewalk
i tried my best to listen but all i could hear was your eyes all i could feel was the creativity the passion you had for what’s simple and it carried me to new heights it made me dream again
i find myself stopping to take it all in: one hand in her back pocket his hand a sweet reminder of his presence in her life and yet another they sit across from each other eating laughing like the world is gone no one but them and yet another there aren’t any words spoken stress even is passing from one to another they are studying together but at least they’re together and yet another couple reminds me to smile and remember relationships are simply a blessing a gift a small taste of the immeasurable love that God gives
reds pinks yellows to line the grassy fields you run through my mind through the fields through the wind let go of the flowers and watch they return in a quiet dance to the ground where they once grew
he has me all of me his love has covered me and i do not walk the same just as he did i walk in light and long for eternity where we can be at last together
Thanks for reading:) By the way, I passed my test! And I’m planning on buying the same jar at the next farmer’s market. So all is well.
