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?
