Title: If I Could Paint


If I had talent
If I could paint you
I'd paint the ethereal features of you face
The ones that leave me drifting, somewhere in space

It's a kind of beauty the camera cannot capture
Perhaps not even in moments of sweetest rapture
A sensation where one must know you from the inside of your heart and out again
A hidden grove where we play as more than just friends

A painting of flesh and bone
That muses more than can be told with thousands of words
Where the dreamwatch of time freezes your beauty everlasting
If only I could render these words to your portrait canvas...

Yet, suffice I am to say
I am satisfied for the rest of my days
To hold your vivid memory within my soul
Where I have you forever to hold

Back from store cooking dinner soon but I figured I'd take the time to give an actual update on my life for those who care.

First, new garden is up and not a moment too soon cuz all the waiting was killing me. In a couple of months I hope to have a mini-jungle in my back yard.

Pics: (Not much to look at right now)Right now I've got Corn, Carrots, Okra, Green Beans, Lettuce, Cucumbers, Peppers (sweet and hot), Squash, Eggplant, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Tomatoes, Raspberries, Strawberries, Red and Green onions and various herbs either started or germinating.

Next, we're moving to a more healthy life style. We're cutting out soda and processed foods (best I can anyways..). It's 5 days to my 1 year anniversary of quitting smoking, and I'm still not smoking. The urges are there, and yes it's hell. But I was suffering when I was smoking too, it was just a different kind of suffering. Keeping that in mind helps keep me from just giving in and smoking again.

On the alcoholic front, I still am not really drinking. I've had a few beers here and there, but it never became an everyday (or even every week) thing again. I remain mentally/emotionally stable. If anyone remembers how unstable and 'psycho' I used to be, I've done well to keep those demons at bay. Me and the wife have been growing closer as well. I'm not sure if it's cuz our 10 year is coming up (and I've heard it's not unusual for a new honeymoon period around that time) or if just all this healthier living and better mindset lends itself to an improved and more loving 'me'.

That's all I can think of. So yeah there you go, there's an update on 'me'.

You can expect a personal update sometime this fall.. After the watermelon or cantaloupe is done, pumpkin is going in it's place. Then I'll be making homemade pumpkin pie that I grew myself.
