Windmills of Your Mind

A steampunk-styled white mouse character wearing aviator goggles and brown leather gear sits peacefully in a wheelchair with eyes closed, listening to music, with windmills silhouetted against a golden sunset sky - representing dreams, music and wheely happy days ahead
Windmills in her Mind @theaaredvark

In years gone by I used to sing. I loved it and could hold a tune - it was something I enjoyed and was reasonably okay at.

[Paul's note - she's being modest. Family and friends asked her to sing at weddings and at funerals. Prompting tears at both - for the right reasons.]

Recently, one song has been going over and over in my head for weeks. I remember every word, but sometimes forget what day of the week it is.

The Windmills of Your Mind - that haunting melody about circles and spirals, wheels within wheels, carousels turning and clocks sweeping past the minutes.

There is so much I want to achieve in life, things I want to do, places I want to visit - on two feet, under my own steam. But that feels so far away, not only because of my illness but I have no income to fund anything anymore.

I will get there one day.

Just keep taking it day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. I believe I will find a passion again and I will work.

My hopes, dreams and secrets are locked away in the windmills of my mind. Waiting until I break free from this downward spiral I've been stuck in, but I'm determined to find my way out of.

The Windmills of Your Mind - the tune of my dreams.
