I sit immobile in my chair.
The thought streams constantly
Action should be taken.
Yet my legs stay crossed
As I watch one more video.
Soon time will run out
Then I won’t have any more excuses.
I sit immobile in my chair.
The thought streams constantly
Action should be taken.
Yet my legs stay crossed
As I watch one more video.
Soon time will run out
Then I won’t have any more excuses.
The white stuff has appeared.
I would like it to disappear.
Third Winter has begun
After spring has sprung.
Oh the climate is dreadful
So inside I’ll stay.
At least for today.
Honesty is best.
Nothing to fear.
Yet anxiety causes worry.
Worry leads to undermining confidence.
The cycle remains.
No matter how hard I try to break it.
I fail to eliminate it.
What they say
can be profound.
They talk with their eyes,
their tails
and
their purrs.
They talk with sounds
that we think are cute
but actually
they mean something.
Cats only use their vocals
when they know the humans are listening!
Staring at me.
Waiting for me.
Wanting me to do something.
Play with her?
Feed her?
Pet her?
Expressive eyes looking straight into my soul.
I really wish I could ask her what her purrs mean
As she looks at me like that.
Appointments set up.
Appointments met.
Appointments to help.
Others that highlight the stress.
Scheduling down time
comes at the expense of time.
So crying begins between appointments.
Ignoring consequences
Make more bad decisions
Find a quick fix solution
Strain friendships over money issues
Family gives ultimatum
Step up
or
Step down
Find the real reason for your problems
Reality knocks hard
and sometimes destroys your door
Chances are the glue is strong
when the light bulb becomes
a permanent fixture.
Some recipes are unique.
Some should be duplicated.
Others left to be forgotten.
At least you will have leftovers
for yourself the next day
because the kids won’t go near
your disaster from the night before.
It will also remind you why
this is a good or bad recipe.
Right?
Some work nicely.
Others fall apart.
If they rise to the occasion
all is well in the oven.
Sugar coated and raisins dot the well meaning.
But even chocolate cannot disguise failure.
Who’s up for that flat chewy brownie?
