Dear Sleep, We see altogether too little of each other these days. Whatever happened to us? I think of the times we've had. I smile. It's a lucky soul that can make ends meet without neglecting your company, in times like these, and yet you're there for us when we come looking. They tell me I can sleep when I'm dead. I tell them to keep the noise down. It's time I visited, old friend.

Words Words mean so much to me. I write for myself, usually in sweet anonymity, to record my #life and share my sorrow and my joy. Maybe I will share some of my words one day. Writing has helped me keep my #life together when times have been hard. In words there is strength. In words there is beauty.

Lunchbox The working day drags listlessly, my stomach growls inside of me. I grab my lunchbox desperately, but alas! I find it.. ..quite empty. (My colleague smirks suspiciously.)

Poignant Adj. Profoundly moving; touching. "He spent 4 hours trying to think up a poignant first Opuss.. He gave up."
