When Do We Celebrate All Of Our Comforts
Mary Kay used to say "It is God first, family second, and career third."
Comfort is food many say
drugs brought me comfort one day
no more drugs, or comfort food
no cigarettes and no time to brood
π
I used to be a Mary Kay lady
It is really hard to imagine that today
Mary Kay would say,
God first, family second
and career third.
π
Now I can say my word
is recovery, also known to me as love
from the Creator God above
I gave up on religion a while ago
That is a comfort to many and so
πΊ
I can still have a relationship with God first, you know
The name for Creator God is Giizhemanidoo
and the Ojibwe word means loving and kind spirit, anywho
it is one of the names I like to refer to.
It is tough to carry some of my baggage
into my life, and what do I do to gauge?
π·
I will pack a bag and take my luggage
leaving my baggage at home
it is not time for another psychology tome
it is time to go see family and friends
π
We can go by motorcycle and it depends
upon the weather, if we can spend
time outdoors before the end
of our time together. Last time it went
by way too fast. I forgot to send
a thank you note for the time spent!
π
This week I will celebrate all the comforts
I forget to acknowledge, the water, the delicious food,
laughter and tears, helpful medicines, and deserts!
All the many things that put me in a good mood!
Like part-time work, is a comfort and can still be a test!
π
Touch, hugs, hearing I love you, and all the rest,
I'm sure I have forgotten some of the best.
Do we take the test and go on a quest
to see what is still out there or maybe just stop this rhyme
and consider we have done our best, and end it this time!
