I'm sending this entry out to a very
special woman... baby boobear...
Our paths crossed for a quick moment in time, but she will surely remain in my heart!
Even though I wrote this many years back,
I think it's something that she can use at
this very second...
and that is...
a big 'ole deep breath
followed by the most relaxing exhale...
that calms the entire body!
This was exactly how I felt and what I wrote
as I sat in my car eating lunch at a park by
as I sat in my car eating lunch at a park by
the water in South Amboy, New Jersey
during the dead of winter while I was
in the midst of some post divorce
emotional mayhem... LoL
during the dead of winter while I was

This afternoon...
this wonderful lunch moment...
gave me the deep breath that I was looking for which in turn led to the strength that I needed to plant my feet back... firmly... on the ground!
We can all use this kind of breath from time to time... and you know that's true!
This is me... Tommy Mondello... giving you... LTF... a deep relaxing breath!

Catching Up to Myself
Catching Up to Myself
This uneventful day has just been fantastic
My senses have been stripped in every way
Of the daily grind that runs us down
Opening up a gaping hole
For my weary mind to wander astray...
The dead of winter has lost it's might
Consumed by a never ending deep blue sky
Filled with a brilliant sunshine
Along with playful seagulls in full flight....
Rays of heat push their way
Through a glaring windshield
My pores soak them up
As they warm my face
An exodus of high expectations once concealed
Now allows my eyes to focus
On the things that I hold dear
Allows me time to experience
My very own space...
So simple is this day
Sitting here completely alone
That except for my lifelong friends
Crooning their way through my antenna's end
The only other soul I've found is myself
And that perhaps a part of me
My sense of life... has been awakened
Could it be that maybe I have grown...
Sometimes it can get pretty complex
This simple day... if you let it
You can think yourself right into a tailspin
That's when you must set down your pen
Close your eyes
And feel that windshield warmth
Pull you back from the depths of thought...
Allowing you the chance to revisit
The soft confines of this wonderful day
The chance to believe in who you are
The chance to believe in yourself
In every way...
Today has truly been a gift from the gods
No mortal man could ever
Dream such scenic beauty
I'm so thankful
For these few frozen ticks of time
These precious moments of clarity
Never fail to slow my life
To ease the worry
To fully and completely
Mentally unwind...
Sun & laughter can heal almost anything!
