The Cast Is Off!

Ok Shannon. So you're right. I screwed up my pictures and they're all corrupted. I have to now figue out how to upload my pictures from my phone. So this is the crappy pre-blog I promised you.

I got my cast off today. I also got the pins removed from my arm. Not the most pleasant experience, but I'm happy to have somewhat freedom now. I still have very little range of motion, but it'll get there, faster than I think apparently.

I will figure out the picture thing tomorrow. I'm sleepy now.

My Canvas

Living on the walls of my own life
I live on the sidelines
Hanging in an eight by ten
Hoping for even a sideways glance...

Why don't you invite me in?

Ignored like the canvas
Hanging on a wall
Years of diversions
To distract you from me.

Why don't you invite me in?

Screaming and yelling
For the attention I need
Even a little bit of dusting
For the canvas on the wall.

I need a larger space
For the dreams that I hold
So dearly in my canvas...
You may as well paint over me
For all the glimpses offered me.

And then a look,
A squint in the dark,
Maybe this painting is
Worth something after all.

I feel like an outsider
In my own life.
I need to look deeper,
More regularly,
Into my own canvas.

Why don't I invite me in?

Sunday Funday!

The girls and I had tons of fun at Discovery Gateway today!
