Okay, well my picture is not of the word of the day
My picture is because today is Saturday!
What about shambles?
My hope is not to give you rambles
~
A scene or state of great wreckage is what?
A shambles! A crash of a plane, ship, car, or a storm that leaves a clearcut
like swath of trees and debris, but what about a person?
Is this a reason for someone to allow their behavior to worsen
~
My life is a shambles some will say
is there life destroyed or wrecked? No way!
We all have times that will sway
us to say this with guilt or trauma, grief and loss
why not get back up, walk through it, and then toss
the wreckage where it belongs, in the past
easy for me to say, I've had practice holding steadfast!
~
It's a shambles here, a shambles there
and what is it that I have to share
maybe for today, you can not spare
even any tiny space or small square
taking time to review what it is you must do
to get rid of the shambles in your life making you blue
It is worth writing down, it is time to spew
out what it is and brainstorm ways over a cup or two
of coffee or tea. It is always helpful to get a new view
of what it is that we may do when looking for a breakthrough!
~
We can think it is the end of the world and just that quickly it can change
the mess that the wreckage caused by putting effort into rearrange.
Have a good day and try to live this day only.
Reach out and don't spend time being lonely!
