Resting comfortably in my shallow grave eating a doughnut and smoking a cigarette, my motivation has relocated to an undisclosed location. I look with distain at my walking shoes. These stubborn old bones refuse to move, immobilized by inertia. Too weary to worry about it, I doze easily in and out of my sugar coma. I half smile at the notion I am happy. I have what I want. I want what I have. I am only lacking in an ability to enjoy it. So, much to my detriment, I indulge in immediate gratification. In the process I have grown fat and sassy. Oh who am I kidding? I was already sassy. [This message has been edited by Lori Grosser Rhoden (10-29-2015 12:45 PM).] |

Really liked the way you dove down through this, but, loved the last couple of lines, I mean, heck, it's what the whole piece was about, isn't it? Self-realization slaps us all some time or the other; insights into ourselves that everyone else Already knew! Cute - lol. j. |

Sassy is as sassy does, and you, Lori have a sackful of sassy . . . It's a good thing that sassy is right at the top of the Eleven Commandments . . . You betcha! ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

quote:Relative to my own sometimes. But like any happy wanderer, it always comes back.  Some could even alter your fine line of poetry to make it their own simply by exchanging "motivation" for 'spouse'. 88's for getting to know you some.  She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Jimmy, I was kinda whistling in the dark on this one. Trying to make light of a situation that really isn't that funny. Got tired of beating myself up. ~L |

Darn right about that sassy! Thought I'd use a little of it on myself for a change. ~L |

TF, I think my motivation has lost my address. I just have not gotten geared up to be heroic and dig deep and gut it out and just fake it until I make it. Makes me tired just thinking about it. Need to tie that doughnut on a stick. ~L |
