Praise for my actions.
Kindness I brought to a friend.
Joy and laughter to a neighbour.
Comfort as I cuddle my cats.
Happiness eating a rare treat.
Why do I think I am not worthy?
Whether I deserve them or not, I earned them.

Things I wish I had done
Learned to live with no regrets.
Not feel guilty for all my past mistakes.
Loved myself for who I am.
Not caring about what others thought of me.
Stop wishing things would miraculously get better if I just ignored it.
Be the person who knows how to keep boundaries.
Told others what was on my mind, instead of seething silently to myself.
Made this list a long time ago.
Emotional fine line
Why does this affect me.
It is not my country.
Yet, the election was lost
and now fear and dread will reign supreme
for those who have to live under the dictator’s rule.
I am sorry my friends.
Pain and loss maybe all that we will have in common from now on.
CallingWood
The townhomes sit cozily together.
The community boasts a pond and nature walks.
In my dreams would I be able to afford one.
So all I can do now
is dream.
Truth behind Fiction
I wake in a fuzzy haze.
My cat’s weight weighs me down.
I don’t want to get up.
Sleep seems way to good to lose right now.
The cold chill air furthers my desire to remain under covers.
My dream slips away and the day rudely makes me greet it.
Coyote bait
Looking through the grate
In the carrier,
Into the eyes frightened by this change.
Promising her
She will not be in danger anymore.
I drive away from the farm
Knowing this life is not going to be a coyote’s meal.

What does it mean
when you say
the opposite
of your true intention?
Sarcasm has been
around for millennia.
What a word means
is defined
by the emotion behind it.
That is why sometimes
I have trouble understanding what you said.
Feet apart
What you say
about me
reflects more on you.
Onion Breath.
Casual Political Conversation
When opposing views are shared
in the waiting room
the staff might have to fear
that an altercation is imminent.
Thankfully, the gentleman
just decided to talk to another male
instead of arguing with me.
An opinionated old woman.
He can take his Archie Bunker style of humour
and shove it up his A@#.
Nature’s glory
Crisp Autumn leaves
scatter the ground.
Cooling soon to be winter
breezes snake through the trees.
Sounds of the fading summer
gently die off in the distance.
One step forward
wearing the comfortable sweaters.
Another step sipping
the hot chocolate or cider.
Whichever is your preference.
Boots encounter a smelly mess
making you realize
you should have walked along the non-dog path.
