    Happy Monday!   Hello, hello, hello, and happy Monday! Hopefully, no one has a case of the Monday's because that's no fun at all. Personally, I had a case of the weekend blues, but am hoping they don't follow me into the week. Sometimes it's hard for me to snap out of a mood; probably the Bipolar haunting me, but still, I can try to rise above it. It helps to know that I am not...

Happy Friday!!! Hello, hello, hello, and happy Friday! Friday is finally here and soon the weekend will greet us with a smile! I hope that you are all doing well during this crazy day and age of lockdowns, masks, and mass- panic. It's unreal to think that before we know it we'll be headed into the summer season. Hopefully, things will calm down soon. I'm really excited to be able to get out in...

Happy Wednesday! Hello, hello, hello, and happy Wednesday! Once again, today is garbage day and I am using it not only as a day to get rid of all of our trash but also as a day of cleansing and renewal. Beginning the day with a purpose helps the rest of the day go well for me. I listen to prayers and meditations with Bible readings to help calm me and I really benefit from it. I find that when I...

    Woohoo for Cinco de Mayo Hello, hello, hello and happy Cinco de Mayo! My family and I celebrated early yesterday because my kids are going to be with their Dad tonight. We had a taco Monday and later we made smores over the fire pit, which was really fun! My son wanted to play with matches, and I know that it is supposed to be a no-no, but he is a teenager and was supervised so I...

Happy Monday! Hello, hello, hello, and happy Monday! It is still pretty cold where I am at, and I am really looking forward to it getting warm again. I should cherish these days though because before I know it, I will be complaining about being too hot. Lol ;) Be Yourself! Today's poem talks about my treasures. I have treasured so-called weird things my entire existence. Also, my whole life,...

      Hello, hello, hello again! It is a good day today because Friday is here, and it is one day closer to having this lockdown abolished. Personally, it was not bothering me at first, but now I am starting to get a little bit antsy. Just yesterday I went down to the lake and there were signs posted that the beach was closed. I thought that it was quite ridiculous that walking...

  Hello, hello, hello again! Well, I hope you are feeling better than I am today! I woke up feeling fine, but then a tummy ache hit me with full force, so now I am drinking some peppermint tea. I start a new job today so I hope the tea helps! I should have known better than to eat that onion last night...Lol :) Anyway, this poem talks about depression and the tendency we have to get stuck in...

 Hello, Hello, Hello! Here we go with another day, and I am feeling grateful- hopefully you are as well! The title of this poem is "Impending doom"; something I am all too familiar with. Hopefully those days are mostly in the past. Since I have a severe anxiety disorder among other concerns, a sense of impending doom arises from most things I have to encounter-  it can be quite...

~Poetry is NOT Dead!~~Poetry is for Everyone!~~Happy Poetry!~ Not Again All of that stress For nothing All of that worry The fear The dread Seeing myself in that hospital bed Trapped once again-I don’t want it Feeling anger Heart-wrenching anger Even though previously That emotion had been So foreign The chest pain The tears that wanted to fall And I stopped them Which brought its own kind of...

Hello, Hello, Hello! Welcome to a brand new day! I hope all is going well during this isolation period and that you are enjoying your family. Today I spent time out in the garden which was nice until I disrupted some ants and realized I was sitting in an ants nest. Of course, all I could do was scream for my Husband, "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" until came to my rescue! It took me a while to stop doing the...
