{ joey is }

trying to get her life back. She is trying very hard to be an octopus except for the fact that she really doesn't want to be one at all. She is struggling to balance expectations...expectations... expectations. she is trying to be good at what she is doing but she feels torn and inadequate. she loves the young ones and hope she can spend more time with and be there for them. She miss her friends very much and is grateful for that piece of sanity from the bride-the only friend she has met up with two weeks ago at fosters. yes. the only friend she has met in the past two months... since the beginning of 2009. she is really sorry for missing out. she misses the herd. she misses the twin. she misses the one whom she promised to discuss Shanghai with. she misses the dg whom she can only meet in the third week of march. Because she leaves school at seven every evening and returns home to continue with the insanity, weekends to her are precious. she loves to spend time with her bible study mates on saturdays but sometimes those moments are lost when insanity knocks on the door. When she does get some time to breathe, all she really wants to do is breathe. and when she does get that little more, she would like to spend it with the boy. even then, the insanity persists...that lesson to plan, that essay to mark, that email to pen. when Anna, her daily inspiration, announces that she's taking a break, joey is sad that she will not be reading her posts for some time but is happy for her that she will be spending time with the most beautiful ones in her life. she remembers the promise she made to make time for all things beautiful. fresh new flowers every week. a rich book. a lovely song. a mesmerising film. a pretty dress. a breathtaking photo.

she is determined to claim her sanity {life} back. one flower. one book. one song. one film. one dress. one photo. one friend. at. a. time.
