Time to relax

Sleep in

Eat the bad calories

Be nice to yourself

Play the games

Watch silly videos

Have a day to be happy

and always do the fun!

It is more like rewording my skills

than it is reworking

because I must become aware

of all the potential I currently hold.

Self-awareness is key

in understanding your strengths

and then being able to utilize them

without falling into a pity trap.

So it is as I go over all my past experiences

and strive to learn my innate talents.

What am I truly good at?

And what can I do to showcase it?

Humans like to look down.

Down they see their feet

and where they can tread.

Down shows the potential dangers

that may await us around the bend.

Down shows us all those

who are still beneath us.

Down is in the past

and yet we can not lift our heads

and look up

for

Up means the future

and futures are always uncertain.

Trying something new

this morning.

We will see if it helps.

I began my day differently

trying to focus

on my health and heart.

My mind is at ease

and my body seems

fine.

So onwards with the day

and to work I go!

Routines disrupted

Chaos ensues

Time develops new schedules

Things return

to a semi-normal state

Before the next upheavel

Her sister is gone

Moved out of the house

She has no one to play with

No one to talk to

The comfort of her presence

The knowledge that she was right around the corner

Now that her sister is gone

She is lonely

Don’t get sick

Don’t get sick

Don’t get sick

That is the mantra

Running through my head

While my body screams at me

“Too Late!!!!!!!”

The headache is larger

and hurts with each sound

You know they just want attention

but all you want is quiet

So the headache will go away

and not cause you so much pain

Still it is life

and noise can not always be escaped

so live the consequences

and hope for the best

A list of all the things to do

Priorities made

and then changed

Things crossed off

and others added

Things to do today

or what about tomorrow

How important are these things

really?

I guess I can work on some of them

Or watch this interview I just came across….

Like why did this disappear?

Who was I talking to who said that?

What was the meaning of that look?

Where do I go for service requests?

When am I going to have to deal with it?

Am I just running in circles?

It feels like I am wearing a track

in the same few steps

over and over and over again

because I can not see any progress!
