Again

Big blue sky, warm breeze,
and May
flutter my job.
I can do this.

Long day's end
discouragement takes up
residence.
I am buried.

I can't do this.
I can't be this.
I don't care.

  1. Sometimes it's like you can read my mind. Hope things are looking better today.

  2. Shoot - I didn't think I 'd actually posted this - it was a bad night. My own demons. I had to do something but didn't really mean to put it out there - I can't believe how discouraged I can get. Interesting thing is , I put that discouragement in one of those talk bubbles that you see in the comics (the ones I don't read....) and I let it float above and by me while I was curious about it. And then watched Stephen Colbert and went to sleep. The bubble seems to have drifted away today. We'll see. Thanks for connecting.

    1. Thanks, MF! Summer is so near yet so far away! I am still learning and this is all part of it.

    1. Hey, Matt! Thanks for the encouragement - did you ever think how courage is the root word in dis-courage and en-courage? What do you suppose that means? XOXOXOX

  6. You CAN do it!! I always find this the hardest time of year to accomplish anything- so much work piles up right near the end, yet the weather is gorgeous and the outdoors beckon, making it impossible to remain focused on one's task. It's cruel, really.

    1. It's true. I am having a hard time caring about it all. I really want to disappear but that doesn't appear to be an option right now.
