Dear Motivation,
I wish I knew where to find you. So far you haven't been in my Spotify playlists, or in the vending machine, or in my blog reader, or on Facebook, or in my inbox. You haven't been in the non-stop downpour that has darkened the office and given us a constant swoosh soundtrack. You haven't been in the Arctic office temperatures or in a blinking cursor on a blank post.
You are nowhere to be found this Monday.
At the very least, can you show up tomorrow?
♥

Dear Christmas,
I think I love you this year for all the wrong reasons. Mostly, I want something out of the ordinary. I want a little break in my routine, and frankly, a holiday works. It's time to put a little break in my eat, sleep, work, Doctor Who routine.
I'll take you, Christmas, and all your merry making.
♥
Lorraine

Dear Readers,
I once had a section like this where I wrote small notes, most of which I dedicated to... well, that isn't really important. I keep those notes and, if I'm ever in that part of Blogger, I read them back. Most of those lines are the little ghosts- flimsy, intangible things that somehow still have the power to spook.
I read them though, because it's good to be reminded of what has died, of what it made me and of what, from time to time, passes through these walls. The remaining lines are gold. "It's a weird feeling to not be somewhere yet, but know that you could get there," I once wrote. And isn't that just the story of my life.
This last time I glanced at the notes, several weeks ago, I decided that I missed my missives. Sure, I will no longer be writing to heartbreak, but that doesn't me I've run out of things to say.
♥
Lorraine
