The route is easy.
It is the motivation
that is the hard thing to work on.
It is always in the back
of the mind as you sit
staring mindlessly
at the computer screen
watching inane animal videos.

For Gamers this means
Unlimited tries.
For a limited amount of time.
As a gamer this is exciting.
If I have the time to take advantage of that offer.
As a philosopher or pragmatist
I can not help but wonder
Whose life they are giving away for free?
Sometimes I say things
Not knowing how to say
What I want to say.
Learning to find the hidden gem
In my stories
Is a talent my friends have.
I do not mean to be obsequious
But I cannot always gather
My thoughts together to be coherent.
I am glad
I have people in my life
Willing to give me a chance.
Not everyone
Has such hidden gems
In the ones who surround them.
The peel of an orange.
The sunburnt skin that now flakes.
Dirty clothes off a toddler.
The layers of deception used to make people submissive.
The fog in my head as the pain clears from my eyes.
The drag racer as its car speeds through the streets.
Peel off the layer of the present bestowed.
Give thanks for the bell’s chime.
The delectable scent
of Coffee wafts through the pre-dawn light.
Only one who truly loves you
will bring you that wonderful mug
while you are still in bed.
I’m just so tired.
I’m old.
Yet the injustices continue.
Time to get my phone
and call them
asking why my bill is high!
This is not a phase that reverts back to menstruation.
It is wrong to think of it as a pause.
It is a joyous welcome from a burden nature placed on women.
It should be Menofinale.
Since it brings a freedom to those who no longer bleed each month.
Pre menopause is not fun.
But once through that time,
believe me,
your life begins anew.
Tired is a problem.
It does make moving more difficult
and unwanted,
Things and errands need to be done.
Yet, I know they will be accomplished.
Just not very quickly.
It has been a month
of vacations,
sickness,
visiting people
and having fun.
Now I am ready
to just get back into the schedule
I was used to
so that one day soon
I can see my best freind
and just hang out with them.
Sweltering turns to freezing
and back again
when the air conditioner fails once more.
If only the temperature stayed the same
we have much boring lives.
Though I would like it a lot somedays.
