I love to write, I love to read and since the Summer began , I haven’t had time for either

Work has been demanding and at my age and on these times job security is important.

On the other hand, at my age so is the care and maintenance of one’s soul.

I better find balance and soon

 

Room For Rent

When I want to get rid of negative thoughts, I invite them to live in my head for ever and ever and ever.

A couple of minutes go as they noodle around looking for a  a light switch ( there is no light in there, hahahah)  and place to settle in ( I’ll confess it’s not cold and rocky in there ) and are ready to meet my other thoughts and before I know it,those negative thoughts are  gone-poof.Just like that.

It’s weird, am I right?

Why oh Why

When I was young, I hated the song Summer Breeze by Seals and Croft.

When it came on the radio I’d switch the channel and turn the volume up- I suppose I was trying to drown out the sound of that lazy, meandering song from my head

I used to think that thin crust pizza was a rotten cheat, it wasn’t a meal it was pizza pan scrapings as far as I was concerned.

and leather gloves were tight, smelly and made the shape of my ugly hands even worse.

But as I have aged, I’ve come to embrace and enjoy the song ” Summer Breeze ” and thin crust pizza and sometimes I wear leather gloves because in my mind’s eye I can see me as a kid looking at me and saying… ” are  you weird now or what? “

I am weird, I say to her and proud of it.
