To reap what you sow.

To pick the fruits of your labour.

Sow discontent

and you will always be uncomfortable.

It looks so warm.

The golden reds and oranges.

Yet, stepping outside

without a sweater

you realize your mistake.

I like to laugh.

I find the humour in situations.

I try to stay positive.

I sometimes am the instigator.

I never liked to simply do the minimum.

If I failed at the challenge

at least I tried it.

Only by trying

something I had not done yet

satisfied me.

Mistakes are made

but mistakes mean you can learn from them.

I should get something to eat.

I need to eat.

I did eat.

I had a sandwich for lunch.

It is almost bedtime.

It is past bedtime.

What did I have for supper?

I should get something to eat.

People see elfin

They see beauty

Stick thin figures

No fat anywhere

Yet I have seen

An elfin beauty

In my friend

Whose voluptuous body

Is unmistakably not thin.

My friends tell me I am.

I don’t always believe them.

I just like to help people when I can.

It is the times I go past those in need

That makes me doubt myself.

But then I have to remember

I also have to be kind to myself.

I can not help others

If refuse to help myself.

I have done that before

And if not for friends

I would not be here today.

I notice things.

I see what others miss.

Yes, there are days when I can not find something.

That is usually due to memory

and forgetting what safe place I put it in.

We will never be safe.

Never vaccinated enough.

It always changes.

Becomes more resistant.

It’s been four years since it was discovered.

A worldwide pandemic.

Yet, many seem to think

Our days of quarantine are over.

How wrong they sadly are.

I am an optimist.

Yet, dark thoughts still intrude.

I know that they are malicious.

I should not listen to them.

So I try to act positive

in the hopes I will become more positive.

Though, one of my favorite sayings is

“It will all work out somehow!”

So am I an optimist or a pessimist disguising themselves as one?
