Still Standing Here

I’m still here. It’s been quiet here but I’m —STILL.

I’m still singing along to the radio

I’m still lying awake and staring at the ceiling

I’m still asking why

I’m still in love

I’m still writing

I’m still measuring a teaspoon of sugar with a real teaspoon

I’m still listening

I’m still reading old, yellowed and dog-eared pages

I’m still dreaming

I’m still checked in

I’m still spreading peanut butter on fresh bread

I’m still counting steps to heaven

I’m still moving forward

I’m still curious

I’m still checking books out of the library

I’m still believing

I’m still picturing what is to come

I’m still remembering old friends

I’m still awake

I’m still planting seeds

I’m still STANDING

I’m STILL.

What are you STILL doing?

keep going/life/love/Thinking About...

Yes, that painting IS stunning. I’m still in love, still dreaming about traveling the world, still looking for moose, still using too many rainbow sprinkles, and still dreaming about another baby.

  Her work is fabulous. She’s based in L.A., I believe.
  Ah, such good stuff you’re STILL. Moose and rainbows!! Yes. Another baby, that one surprised me–even out the family. baby makes 6!

I’m still amazed at the wind as it blows across the hay waiting to be cut
and the yellow finches that dance on the stalks of grass
and the fireflies that rise up at night,
filling the lone hickory in the middle of the field
with flickering lights as if on Christmas

I may have mellowed a little but…
I am still young.
I am still looking at the horizon.
I am still walking uphill.
I am still exuding love.
My cup of hopes is still brimming.
I still love myself.
Lovely post Lisa. love and hugs.

Beautifully said!

I’m still reading
I’m still making plans for the future
I’m still dancing
I’m still cuddling with my cat
