Just shooting the poop with Lori
He travels the world on the backs of others
Insignificant in his stature and size
His journey carries no mission
Randomly roaming at the will of his host
Sated enough to never question his trek
Life is an open adventure without worry
If the excitement of his dusty trail dulls
Another bus awaits to grant passage
With a furry friend to carry him home
Ah the wonderful life of a flea

So proud of Simone Biles for standing up for herself and sending a message to all young people that it is okay to not be okay some days. We all have days where the pressure is just too much to withstand and taking a moment to regroup is beneficial to our sanity.Every job in the world should incorporate mental health days as time off options. Keep swinging the big bat, Simone . You are awesome!

Now, the other part of this that I don't like is the playing down of the Olympic Committee's new random rules of scoring. Because she is fantastic, suddenly it is decided not to score her on the same scale as others? Her talent and strength is what brought her to the games. It seems as if they were out to bring her down and her team members would have suffered under the weight of it all. Simone knows how to play the game on and off the mat. Give that girl a gold medal for good choices in life!

Stormy weather today. Driving, as it is pouring is not a fun proposition. Remember, I just got my car fixed from injuries caused by a crushing tree limb, so I am gun shy where my little Jeep is concerned. The wind was throwing us to and fro this morning. It was not predicted until this afternoon, but we were blessed with a full day of rain. It did, however, make for good sleeping after work. If I had the day off i might write a story about a storm or a ghost that appears in the storm. Might have to think about this. Have a great day.

Poetry of words
Love into Joy
Hate to despair
All are just words
Confusion and delusion
Tears toward solitude
Simple letters of the alphabet
Happiness followed passion
Anger led to Hostility
Strung together to render meaning
Hopeful ushers the adored
Ugly shadows the exposed
But beyond the words
Curious brings forth the inquisitive
Lonely leaves the depressed
Resides the power
Heartbroken escorts the helpless
Devastated attends the frightened
To impact the world
Excited accompanies the merry
Satisfied squires the thankful
In feelings, thoughts, and creeds
Bitter becomes the violated
Blessed holds hands with the faithful
Letters carved into words
Pessimistic impels the disappointed
Optimistic embarks on the uplifted
The shaping of a child's psyche
Haunted triggers the lost
Enchanted entice the exhilarated
The building of one's ego
Unaccepted plunged into shame
Pleased invites the replenished
Construction of Relationships
Valued births the appreciated
Burdened laden the anxious
All of this and more
Can be brought about by words
Words can write the verse of harmony
Or be the instrument of destruction
Words can build a bridge
Or breach a sacred promise
Use them wisely
Be the seed that harvests well
Script the words to tell the golden story

Got to thinking about our choice of words when we pen a story. Certain descriptor's just seem to make since when we write it. For some reason, either a mindful or not so mindful, choice is made of our word use within a tale. We try to paint a certain picture by our word choice. It has to do with the emotions felt at the time we write the story. This always seems to prove interesting when we reread our stories and try to recapture the thought process. It becomes very difficult to hold yourself back from rewriting the work, because your feelings at this particular time are different. But there is a message that was meant to be conveyed at that particular time. Weighing whether it is still valid is a tightrope walk. If I think too long and hard on any sentence, I might never get anything written. But I am glad I can break things down and remember my thoughts at any given time. It is actually fun rereading some of my old stuff and seeing how I could have done it better or feeling like maybe I got it right. Have a good Saturday, peeps.

Cut the grass,do the dishes, do the laundry, and dust the furniture. Day off tasks are not very exciting, however necessary to live in peaceful surroundings on the off days. So I guess I will get off my bottom and do the dirty deeds. Have a great day.
