Life, Love and the Everyday

LIFE I had forgotten how difficult it is to give up something. For six days I had quit coffee and soft-drink cold-turkey. It wasn't until I was going out to dinner on the Saturday night last week that I found myself craving the sugary sweet poison of Coke. That thought shot the idea of quitting cold-turkey straight to hell. On the drive to dinner I was very quiet, the thought of drinking Coke making my mouth go dry. Suffice to say I had two soft drinks that night, one coke, one lemonade to make up for lost time - and the next day another lemonade. On Monday morning I had my first instant coffee in eight days and since then, I haven't stopped.  Seeing as this season won't be coming for awhile, I'll tell you why I tried to go cold-turkey and it is simply that when I start treatment to have a baby, I want to have a healthy body to make the process easier. But I have come to realise that trying to make something happen just because you are impatient doesn't end well,

LIFE I have been a bit quiet lately, sometimes there are heaps of things I want to say but don't. I have been thinking about what I want the image of Life, Love & The Everyday to be for myself and readers. Whether it's just an online diary of a twenty-six year old woman going through the motions that most people can relate to or get out there more and take more pictures; or even just pull the plug on the entire thing. But today, yours truly wants to exhibit a poem. It's a poem about me and A. and how we are complete opposites but complement each other's strengths. LOVE Beautiful Chaos You keep me grounded like an anchor in torrential seas, and I bring you up to the stars. You are the canvas and I am the paint - together we are beautiful chaos. I am the lyrics, you are the rhythm - the very beat of my heart. Together we are lost and found again in the midst of beautiful chaos. & THE EVERY DAY Working, writing, eating, sleeping, procrastionating,
