Enough For One Day

When you're hurting life seems to
turn into a lousy kind of place.
This is another one of those days when it
seems like everyone wants to get in my face.
I'm not saying I don't deserve to be got.
I'm saying the taste of the medicine isn't so hot.
God knows I've had enough for one day.
What can I do at this point?
Take the pain and tuck it away.
Save some of it for another day.
Take the time for a nice warm bath.
See if I can get a good nights sleep at last.
Wake up in the morning and wallow in my pain
for awhile and after I've had enough for the
day perhaps I should find a fresh reason to smile.

Poor James,
Take a nap, take a bath, take a pill. Sometimes all you can do is take a little patience. My sympathy.

This is very good and to the point.
It's true, misery does love company!  
Smile now, and thank you for these words.

(EXTRA BIG HUGS) Oh James, I know just how you feel, things too are never the same for me while I've been missing my Joanna so much as she is preparing to move to her new house! (sad sigh) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, know that you are loved by many and you are special to us all, we all love you so much!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

James, I feel like this sometimes, everything comes crashing down. No time for myself, everyone else has needs. Nice write that I can relate to. I hope things get better. floria
