TODAY… JUST BEING MY FAVORITE SELF
Today
just being my favorite self
I walked the dog
I played the guitar
Had a cup of tea
Spoke with family
Did some work stuff
Kept going even when
it got tough
Breathed a little
Smile a little
Sighed a little
Reflected a lot
Solved a puzzle
or two
or well
what can I say
puzzling is one of my
favorite things
Today
just being my favorite self
Just let the sadness be
Always there
Drumbeat
drone
timed with the beat
my heart’s
empathetic rhythm
It’s OK to be sad
my favorite self
said
It makes the happiness
what it is
That smile bounces off
darkness
so that it can
radiate light
Today
just being my favorite self

I love to write in a moment, and I love to write for you, so please leave me a prompt in the comments – a word, a sentence, an image – and I’ll write you a little something.
Also, sometimes, my writing helps someone I don’t know – I can’t predict or plan for that, and I’m humbled when I hear it’s happened – all I can do is ask you to share my writing, and increase the chances that it gets to the person who may need it.
Thank you for reading, as always!
