I guess its best to have a destination in mind. Living a day at a time, not thinking about the rest of creation, it’s easy to get stuck mired in the daily muck. Dreams of anywhere but here, is nowhere to go. Away is not a place to venture. It is only a vague sense of where there’ll be a show of some adventure. And dreams can dwell in our hearts and heads a lifetime but never take us anywhere. Pennies in a wishing well won’t move us one step in time, just penniless and here. I guess a plan is needed to get from here to there or you’ll just walk in circles endless. So if goals are set and heeded and achieving is your only care you will be met with success and actually get somewhere. But, if you’re like me adrift in a sea of uncertainty, tomorrow is hard to see. The future unclear and iffy, it’s hard to imagine a plan other than go with the flow whichever way the wind blows I’ll let it take me as long as it doesn’t break me. |

You have me worrying about you, Lori. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Be well and thanks for your inspiring poetry.  Pass the Glade if you're going to do that here... |

I'm okay Jerry just airing my grumpy laundry. I consider you all my friends and that's what friends are for. ~L |

PU, Thanks for your thoughtful response. I swear I'll keep it above freezing and keep moving along so rigor mortis doesn't set in. ~L |
