Trip Down Memory Lane

Returning to old memories

A veneer of dreams

covers the shabby edges.

Wistful innocence

Makes us forget

What we pretend to remember.

You can never return

Because time touches everything

And remakes history.

TGIF

Even a short week

Can seem long.

And a weekend

Too short.

What a Difference a Day Makes

I don't feel like I'm underwater today
Treading water
With weights on my legs.
I don't feel like I could burst into tears
At the Pet commercials on TV.
I don't feel like I'm biting my tongue
And holding my breathe.
I don't feel like there's not enough
Oxygen to my brain.
I don't feel like a Cancer patient.
I just feel like myself.

Fatigue

Languidly stroking

The soft cat's fur

Feet up

Pillow beneath my head

I can forget

How tired I was

And just think

How content I am.

Happy Holidays

And many more good books

For 2012!

From the Book Club Party

At the Cummings Home

Hitting the Wall

Mind numbing

Body robbing

Energy sapping

Fatigue

Jumps on your chest

And won't let you

Out of bed!

For Old Time Sake

Happy New Year!

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

Thanks to Margaret for the photo and many cups o' kindness!
