I Forgot!
While reading through the past posts I found I had made a pretty firm promise to myself about losing some of those unwanted pounds. Well it is past the time I had set for reaching my goal and I must confess I’m full of hot air and hollw promises.
I have lost a total of 2 lbs. and no more. I suddenly stop worrying about my lungs and looks and started to concentrate on keeping the person I loving call ‘the blind guy’ a little more comfortable. When I get bored or stressed I grab a couple of cookies or a handful of Doritos and the tension goes away. Unfortunately the pounds don’t and at this moment I don’t give a rat’s ass about it. Not too positive but I guess I haven’t got the need or the well power to tackle it right now. I guess if I were up for the Mrs. America title or running for the Senate I would try a little harder.
Like A Neon Window Sign
The snow keeps blinking on and off each morning when I awake.
The stress of seeing it come and go is more than I can take.
For heaven’s sake and my sanity please make up your mind.
Is it sunny , flowery, Spring yet or is blustery winter all I find.
I long to pull the swing out and laze the afternoon away.
To hurry thru the household chores and enjoy a sunny day.
In winter I really must confess I don’t feel the need to clean.
But when Spring time comes with sun shining in the laxness can be seen.
The urge to throw open windows, turn the mattress, and air out everything.
Is like a tiny, little, warning bell in my head that begins to ring.
So let’s turn off that neon light blinking on and off unending.
Let nature be reborn, my life begin again, and happiness be there for the spending.
