Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Sometimes it's hard to believe

That we've gotten this far.

What with the liars and thieves,

Philanderers and cheaters,

Those in power abusing those

They have power over.

Accusations are now accepted as truths,

Word against word.

Who's right?

Our government is a joke,

More "what can I do for myself,"

Instead of "how can I help you?"

Is it like this everywhere or

Just in the land of opportunity?

Scaredy Cat

Scaredy Cat

Has it hit you in the gut yet?

You know, that feeling you get

In the pit of your stomach

When you think

Of something scary,

Like your own ending?

Five or ten years,

No big deal

When I was just a kitten.

Now, five or ten years, wow,

Not sure I have them.

Dropping like flies,

Too many already gone.

How can I stop this,

This time whizzing by?

Slow down please,

Let me catch up.

Reality Just Spit In My Eye

Reality Just Spit In My Eye

I've recently realized how out of touch with reality I have been in my life. "I'll never look old like that" or my favorite "I'll never let myself get fat like that" are coming back and spitting right in my eye. Delusional me felt that I would age, but just a little. I would still retain my good skin and hair. And I will always be skinny.

Um, no.

Dear Delusional Me,

OK, sit down, I am going to tell you the truth.

You are a sack of bones and skin that will eventually rot from the inside out.

You were born and you will die and between the two you will have some fun and spend lots of time not having fun.

You can't change the realities but you can change the way you live with them. It's all in your attitude. Let's get on the right track, the track that will lead you to the joy and happiness you have sought these 60 some years.

Go.

Right Here, Right Now

Right Here, Right Now

This is your reality.

Not yesterday,

Not tomorrow,

Here and now.

So hard to keep your focus

When the world swirls

Around and around.

Close your eyes,

Take a deep breath,

Remember to be

In the now.

Go In

Go In

Looking for guidance?

Go in.

Clear your human mind

And listen

To the voice within.

That's who you should listen to,

Not the never satisfied ego.

Remember- we are a spiritual being

Having a human experience.

Shouldn't you listen to the one 

Who knows?

March

March

Running away doesn't solve anything,

Makes matters worse sometimes.

If you're not happy here,

You won't be happy there.

You take you with you.

Stand up straight and tall,

Shoulders back.

Now march straight into it.

Feel better?

Where Are My Keys?

Where Are My Keys?

It's happening to me,

Something that I thought

Would happen to everyone else,

Not me.

Getting older,

Losing my edge.

Wait, I don't feel older

In my mind.

But my hand is my mother's,

My waistline out of control.

Oh shit,

Where are my keys?
