Every once in a while we need an injection of silly joy to make us realize we are still alive. I thought your poem was perfect.

This isMost important,
he admonishes:
No self-loathing.
No self-deprecation a wonderful verse and one we should all listen to.

That is my favorite. I wish we could all get a day like that. I guess as your verse states...Just take it...I think I will. Great job

Checking in
with my inner trunk;
I need a lot
of loving advice:

Prisoner of my
own expectations
I'm getting rusty,
grumpy and cold.


I lived the beginning and it sets your pace I think

Most important,
he admonishes:
No self-loathing.
No self-deprecation.

This mission,
I reckon,
has a sure touch
of something divine.


I like the images you brought out with these lines or verses.

Thank you Nita for the great comments. We all need to slow down, and sometimes stop. For our physical and spiritual well being as well.

My wife needs some days like this. I think it is more difficult for women than it is for men. I like the story. Follow your own advice. Ray.
