Lumpy oatmeal makes me crazy!

0 posted 2009-07-22 12:08 PM


been reading poetry
for an hour or so
trying not to think

trying to just breathe
in words and images
feel them weave and flow

but, really,
I just want to stop
clenching my teeth

Very good relaxing exercise, dear Alison girl!

Sometimes we need a change of focus and poems offer their variety in a gentle way.

Here's to clenchless breathing!


Love and hugs.

Reading poetry can take your mind off what ails you! It has worked for me many a time, as well!

Love & Poetry Light,
Linda

We've all been there, Alison.  Maybe if you wrote about exactly what is making your teeth clench, that would help... You don't have to share it with us, of course (but you know you have our curiosity piqued now)...

Don't ask me; I'm making it up as I go...

Alison,

Ah, teeth clenching... I remember it well...
That's the time when I get so frustrated that I have no recourse but to turn silly or go crazy!

Hope your teeth clenching stops and a smile comes out.

Take care,
misce

Thank you all - nothing really very deep about my teeth clenching.  It's just my intense personality at work.
