So yesterday was a tough day. I was so sickly... but I found some smiles in being silly with an old friend and I think that would have to be my gift for the day. We laughed. We smiled.

I treated myself poorly though... need to work on that.

The gift for today will be an actual object. I have been holding onto this item since before Christmas - just haven't seen the recipient in a while. I know he will love it.

Will have to see if I can find another way to give today.

My beautiful friend writes poetry...it's always scared me...but I want to give it a go...

SOME DOORS

I never thought I was pretty

My mother made that clear

Make-up not made for "girls like me"

Better "boy than girl"

I disagree



Tonight I bought a corset

My breasts will be on display

I will feel gorgeous

Your words ricocheted



Spent most of my life

Hurting

Spent most of my life

Ugly



Those days have passed, my dear

I finally saw the light



My heart has a giant crack in it

The light it seeps right though

I should draw the Now, my dear

Because the Then was sad and cruel



I TOTALLY think I am pretty

My husband makes that clear

Make-up made for Me alone

I have no fear



I feel sad for you now, mother

I know you are alone

My daughter is my focus now

I will not dwell on you



I choose to close some doors, my dears

And gladly open others...

29 Days of Gifts. Starting now.

Mythica is inspiring. I have been inspired. I try to "be nice" to people on a daily basis... especially at school. One kid a day or one parent... go over and above. Make them feel special. Make them feel special. Now it's time to make it broader. Day one begins with the rise of the sun. I have several possibilities for tomorrow. :)
