It's the Little Things
A Poem on Appreciating Life's Little Treasures
What do we look forward to when we step through the doors to our homes after a long day? A simple, but delicious, home-cooked dinner. Mum's or wifey's chocolate chip cookies. And my personal favourite - Hawaiian Pizza.
It's the little things that put a spark back into those dull eyes after a screaming match with the boss (hopefully that doesn't happen too often). No one really expects vacations to Brazil all the time, or fancy cruises. What really comforts us, though, are the daily do-haves.
So let's put our hands together and celebrate the seemingly trivial but ever-so important things in our lives.
Enjoy these cinquains.
Ice-cream
Treat never fails
An unseen dessert treat
Chocolate cake, toasty and soft
Warms heart
Warm bath
Thoughtless shower
But puts the spring in step
Water resets the heart and the mind
When needed.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
