It's Wednesday already

I'm sorry I didn't write over the weekend. Saturday we ended up renting movies and buying groceries. Sunday we went to the Circus and then went to the movies and went to my niece's birthday party. I of course, deviated from my "eating healthy!" remember I don't like the word "diet"
Anyway, I ate pizza, and cake and a turkey sandwich and a lot of other stuff that I shouldn't have eaten. It's funny cause, I did gain a pound and then I lost it right away. So no harm done. I'm eating healthy today, that's for sure. I'm still working towards all my goals for this year. I've already written in my blog that's on my website and I posted a new poem on hubpages and now all that's left is to write a few couple pages in my book. I should start working on my new poem book and I should update a new poem on my website. I have to run some errands today and clean the house, do laundry and a bunch of other stuff. What I really want to do is work on a new cookbook! I'd like to know what goals or resolutions other people have. So please feel free to comment either on my blog that is on www.janiepoetry.com or this blog. Writing every day and eating healthy is on my top to do list, and then come the other goals. Although, they are all important.
I hope everyone has a great, positive, productive day.

I usually like to leave my blogs with a poem.
I posted "I will not believe" on hubpages and I just quoted "The Tourist" on my other blog. Great movie by the way. So I'm going to leave you with "Stranger" It's a new poem on my new poem book that's entitled "Paris or Rome" on my website.

Stranger-

There's a stranger in my house-
She's angry, bitter and mean-
I've seen her before, seems like a dream-
Her mind races to places-
I've erased-
Let go of-
Faces I don't want to see-

There's a stranger in my house-
No it's not me-
I'm positive and strong-
And I know that truth of light, dwells within me-

There's a stranger in my house-
She's over emotional-
She's in the past-
I've got to get rid of her-
Throw her to the sea-
I know she doesn't want to be here-

I have to move forward-
Take the next step-
Climb the mountains-
Pass the bullets-
Meet the lightening-
Got to reach the other side-

The stranger's left my house-
Will she come back?-
Only in moments of weakness-
I've got to remain strong-
And sweep out the dust she left behind-

I wrote this recently when I was making my latest poem book. It's about staying positive even when you feel doubt cluttering your mind. I like this poem because every time I read it I feel like there's a story I could write behind this poem. It's mysterious, but if you pay close attention; you can see the meaning behind the poem.

Live, Love, Laugh, Create, Make a Change....
