It's Friday

It's Friday - Dance along with me


It's Friday, 

The end of another busy week,

I kick off my shoes, remove my scarf, and my sweater,

Twisting my braids into a messy bun on top of my head,

I settle into my after-work chair, 

armed with my iPad, my glasses

and a bowl of buttery salty popcorn.

I lean back, stretch out my legs,

closing my eyes,

I take in the thought of the weekend ahead.

Reaching for my drink,

I tell myself

I've earned the rest, I deserve it,

I've earned this full glass of Baileys.

Crunching, sipping, unwinding,

It is time to flip between the 

Jigsaw app and romantic movies on Netflix

It's my time

It's Friday, time to relax and enjoy ME!

    You really have earned the time to relax('at the end of the busy week'). I seem to be reading a few slices about work-life balance. I like the way you show us how you prepare for this well-deserved rest.

Finding the Lovely

I looked up That is one majestic tree I thought I stopped Drawn to the branches Each clad in  Red, yellow, green Golden brown or rust Colored leaves Swaying in the gentle breeze. Against the blue sky In the distance She was a beauty Right there In the street. I picked up a leaf I walked on  With a smile For I realized All around us, We can always find the ‘lovely’.

Out of writer's block comes, Fireflies

Writer's block is what I've got today, And can't seem to work out what to write about. So I decide to just pick up my laptop,  just to see where my fingers and the keyboard take me. I set the timer and give myself just three minutes (or maybe more), to write 'fast and furiously' like I do with my kids in school. I choose my topic - Fireflies, So - let's get ready, GO. As a child One thing that lingered in my mind Were the fireflies we captured in jars, Fascinated by their radiant glow. Wondering why they wouldn't keep shining, Why they kept losing their sparkle, and seemed to die right before our eyes. "Why did their light fade?" We would ask. Now as an adult, Surely we know, Our 'firefly lights' shine brightest, when we are in the right place, In our 'out-of-jar' space, Surrounded by the right people. Fully at ease and happy within. That place that sets us free to embrace, Appreciate and enjoy the love all around. So let's stri...

Roots and Trees

photo: https://pkmizen.wordpress.com/2020/06/14/how-are-your-roots/ An interview/discussion I listened to today on Instagram got me thinking. Even though this is not new information, I found it fascinating to hear the guest speaker explain how all trees grow in two directions and how this can be applied to every one of us.  I am not as articulate as he is and know my explanation won’t be as profound, but I still would like to share my thoughts.  The speaker explained that trees grow roots downwards and then extend upwards to reveal a trunk, branches, and leaves.  He continued and shared how the roots thrive in a dark, damp environment, and work pretty hard to ensure there is enough nourishment for the upper section - the part that flourishes in bright sunlight and looks beautiful for all to see.  He then shared something I had never thought of before - both the plant beneath the soil and the plant above the soil are very similar and share a striking resemblance.
