Tis’ the season of
acceptances and adjustments
to my body’s needs,
to my adult children’s needs,
to not being needed as much,
to my four dogs’ needs,
to the new political environment,
to the way people react,
to the way I react,
to daily life’s challenges,
to staying present,
to the weather’s unpredictability.
To the uncertainty.
…
-yes, that one word.
it’s like a heavy weight that
threats to drown me.
…
but I refuse to allow
this to get me
as I read
for the Floaties
that say…...ACCEPT AND ADJUST
******
I didn't include my husband because he is my partner and is soooo easy going.

Your portrayal of finding stability in your partnership and the calmness it brings is heartwarming. Wonderful work
Uncertainties make me very anxious. Loved your poem!
You sound very busy Daphne!
I hope that this time of adjustment is going well for you! And I’ve to agree with Gregory, growing old is an adjustment!
Great Poem, but you forgot one thing. Growing old, that is something we all have to accept also. Well Done!!!!
I think every season is a season of acceptance and adjustments. Good job.
💙This is a great reminder that life is a compromise
