When life’s wind shakes the soul
Appearing not to care
Defenses stripped to bare
Do think again
For now, the clouds are gone
Reality in view
Appreciation anew
For the change

I can hardly thank Charli Mills enough for this week’s flash fiction prompt. It allowed me to take stock of my of my life at a point when it was most necessary. Woo Hoo! Check out the Carrot Ranch
*************************************************************************
When I think of all I’ve been through in sixty-three years on this little blue planet, I am in awe. The sad experiences that seemed would tear my heart out. The happy times I enjoyed so much, seemed to drain my energy. But I am not about to complain!
It has all made me the person I am today. Even though when you take a look at me, I may appear to be a bit worse for the wear, I am still here. No worries. And though there’s so much more to learn, halleluiah, I got life!

Resetting your life
Much like resetting a phone
Requires patience
There can be so many steps
That don’t seem to make much sense

Dear life, I thank you
For all those crazy moments
When I thought it worked
For those times I was
Convinced I had it mastered
So, I stopped to breathe
It was then I knew
Breathing was what I did best
And that was enough

If you can’t always
Be together, be okay
With being okay
