not always shiny side up…

It is the time of year where I start to feel
restless
anxious and worrisome
spring starts to roll and life begins to move
at a pace,  I feel trampled
by
maybe it’s this moon business,
maybe it’s
just me
a shift in hormones knocks me down
repeatedly
everything around me
feels crowded and stifling
things to do, things to do, things    to     do
as frustration mounts and I become
thinner of
skin
I spend much time just trying to keep my face
above
water
reminding myself to breathe…
deep

this is not to say that I don’t still fill myself
with gratitude
because I do (i always do)
I know well, the two things that keep me afloat
are love
and gratitude
and just how much both
are an absolute and oh so necessary part
of me

this…  is just to say that you can indeed feel one,
as well
as the other
and both,  are still ok

days are wonderful, and days are
tough
and days…
are wonderful again
(much the same as people)
we just don’t always find ourselves
shiny side up

yet there is gratitude to be found
if you are open
there is
kindness in good hearts
there are kisses to
savour

and too…
there are love notes to send
out
on the wind

in hopes that they find you

whole  ♥
