Confused in all my feelings while trying to stay sain
Stresses that should not be there confront me once again
I should not let them bend me in ways they seem to do
Most people here can’t see it and just wouldn’t have a clue

But somehow work creates it in a way that’s hard to fight
Too much strain and added load, which really isn’t right
Days now seem as though a week, for hours now are long
It’s been but just a short time now, but somehow things are wrong

Where has all my life’s fun now gone and why do things all change?
Why do we strive further, change what’s easy; very strange
The holiday that comes with change I’ve waited for a while
And through the wait of many weeks I feel I’m still on trial

Midlife and a massive change do test the best at best
And though I smile throughout it all, I feel I need a rest
For I can feel what has become the norm of what will be
But I know stress in future cannot be the life for me

So tomorrow I will take the bull, hold tight the horns and try
To sort the things that I just hate and ask some questions why
Share the load around the place and not feel I am lost
Or otherwise I’ll have to change and change at any cost

A stressful day

sometimes, we've gotta work hard to keep things in sync...and when things seem to be falling apart, that sync is a life line to remember to forget the worry and just let things happen and be...it is man who seems to fight more upon loosing control...reminding me of the movie Solaris, when Clooney's friend came to him, and said...don't look for answers...just let it be...

Hugs Rick and Good Morning...wishing you a great Week ahead

Dear Rick, I can feel your stress through your words and I am sorry. You are right, it’s important to clarify things, so that you can make a choice that will bring back enthusiasm and harmony. In either way.

Sadly I guess many can relate! These stressful days are a worldwide phenomenon!

Love,
Margherita

Rick, I believe that there comes a time in all of our lives, when we must step back and be still ..... regroup. BREATHE.
Change is a good thing - but often very difficult. But, just like cleaning out kitchen drawers - toss out the "useless" things - polish up, refold & take pride in the "good stuff." All will be well.
hugs, Chris

Dear Margherita, thanks for your reply, I hope that today will be a better one for me, it was nice to share the burden a little last night when I got home, good to see you here my friend.

Dear Chris, the kitchen drawers sound great at the moment, thanks for your advise, it is heard and will be used today, great you took time to reply my friend, very much appreciated.

Thank you all my friends.

Sincerely
Rick
