1,000
Crazy I just finished my 1,00th poem. Amazing. What am I going to do with 1,000 poems. That means I wrote 100 poems in two weeks.

A Half Dozen Smiles
I woke this morning with a bowl full of trials.
I would learn later the gift of a half a dozen smiles.
After my shower and watching the morning news,
I left my apartment to walk to work not wanting to hear all the how do you dos.
Along the walk was a mother and small child.
Both looked so fragile and thin, yet sweet and mild.
From my purse I grabbed a couple dollars to give to the mother before going on my way.
The little child gave me a big smile hug then saying have a good day.
After they left I saw that I gave them two twenties instead of what I though.
As I continued along my way I mumbled they better be happy with what they got.
As I went to board the subway a little boy looked at me with deep brown eyes.
He looked lost and about to cry tears that would flood the heaven’s skies.
Before getting on the subway I helped him find his way only get back in time to miss my train.
Then all of a sudden I could above it had started to rain.
I was late getting into work and boss was upset.
I knew as soon as I walked in a lecture I would get.
By noon my head started to ache and I began to feel ill.
I looked inside my desk and saw I had not a pain pill.
Down to the corner store I started to walk when I meet two teens down on their knees.
I asked what was wrong and found out they lost their car keys.
I let them borrow my phone to call for a ride.
And two smiles shown that they could not hide.
After work on my way home I saw the little boy who was lost.
And being yelled at was what helping him cost.
Behind him was a handsome man with a smile on his face.
The little boy said the police got him to his dad then smiled an gave me an embrace.
Just before entering my building the mother and child was by the door.
They both looked much better than they did before.
Both smiling said a polite thank you and said it meant so much.
No one before me gave them the time of day or such.
Just as I laid down to go to bed I felt warm and fuzzy inside.
And the imagine of the half a dozen smile could hide.
I knew right then tomorrow will be a better day.
For today I had been given a gift by being there for others in some way.

What Now
I ran into a friend of mine in town.
She looked so sad and blue just really down.
I gave her a hug and asked her what was wrong.
With tears threatening to come she whispered “it won’t be long”.
I wasn’t sure what she meant and I was afraid to ask.
I just hoped it wasn’t the awful task.
Then all of a sudden she screams, “what now?
I’ve lost the battle there is no somehow.
What now do you want to throw at me?
Please from these chains set me free.
What now are you going to give me that I can’t handle?” she cries.
There’s so much hurt and anger I see in her eyes.
Once again looking at me she says, “what now after all I’ve been through?”
I hold her in my arms and tell her “I’ve suffered them all with you.”

So today I got off work at 12. So Donna (the other flight attendant) and I went to the beach. I'm in San Luis Obispo. It was fun. I wore my ankle brace cause my ankle's still sore from Saturday. Which helpedto wear the brace. But walking in the sand after a while was a little of a strain, but I'm glad I had the brace cause it wasn't as bad. I'm glad I went. It's better than sitting in the hotel room all day.

Night Hike
I went on what was suppose to be a scare night hike but the scare thing didn't really happen. I'll tell I'm so sore! It was about 10 miles I felt like a dork cause I'm so not in shape and everyone waited on me to get up the hill. I'll tell it made me wish I wasn't there. I finally made it up and as soon I started down the other side I fell pretty hard. But I survived and contineued on. On the way back to the cars I twisted my ankle more than once and I fell once again. To be honest I didn't have all that great of a time. My back hurts, my legs hurt, my ankle hurts, my hands hurt and my ribs hurt. The first fall I landed on my rear and the second on on my front side. I was jumping over a ditch the second time and landed front first into sticky patches. It was nice to hang out with a bunch of people and get to know them better. That's the only plus. I'll probably won't go on another night hike.

Cute video
I'm sure if Lincoln saw this he'd kill me, but it's too cute not to share. It was Easter of 1993.
Stupid Co-Workers
Last week at work I worked with two flight attendants who were sick and now I'm feeling sick and I have to work tomorrow. If I didn't have so many occerences against me I'd call out. But I have 4 and I'm only allowed 6 a year.
900
I just finished writting my 900th poem. Seriously anyone know of a doctor or something I should go see about my poetry writting?
