Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Lost love: 16 of 73
Everyday I wake up full of good intentions. My mind is busy before my body has had a chance to catch up. I've already planned exactly how it will happen and when and what I'll do and then my body catches up and somehow, between the bedroom and the kitchen, it's convinced my mind that it simply CAN'T.

It's that time of the year again. The stores are dusting off their Christmas decorations, we're dragging out our old bits of wrapping paper we've been saving all year (hopefully), and broadcasters and businesses are preparing to assault us via television with every available seasonal advert and promotional goodie they can mu...
