Running Back

Waking to the stormy weather of Brisbane. Sitting in bed at 9:30am. No work. No commitments. Bliss. But the silence is more deadly than a brown snake's bite on a household guinea pig. It's these slow days that lets your mind roam your wildest dreams, the saddest memories, it makes you appreciate your loving acquaintances, the things you have and makes you remember the kind words people have said to make you smile. It's these mornings when you just want something more out of life, or when you realise you've been kind to settle, or when you have everything you need but there's always that one thing that cramps your style. Today is full of temperamental emotion, so here I leave you with some random quotes from my random quotes app from my phone and a song I heard on the radio this morning that made me weep just a little.

      - Megan Elizabeth

            Determine the value of what we have done
      - Mother Teresa
~ Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice.
            It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved

            And sings the tune without words and never stops at all
