Meetings more neetings,
Prepare, invite, and present,
Then write up the notes.

Not so cold today,
The sun is shining brightly,
Always good to see.

I’ve had busy days,
Lots of work and train delays,
Have both kept me back.

The days is so cold,
Bus cancelled waiting longer,
Frozen to the core.

Stark reality,
Struck me so hard this morning,
Makes me think again.

What is important,
To keep that and keep it well,
Make a difference.

Crumbs on the table,
Where biscuits once were waiting,
To be dipped in tea.

The tea’s sweet and black,
And its warmth flows like comfort,
On a winters day.

The cold wraps around,
Chilling bones and make them groan,
Just a few more steps.

The babies first steps,
Take time, precious time, so joyful,
Each one’s a moment.

Again the day starts,
Same again or will you change,
What you do or think.

You can’t change others,
But you can sure change yourself,
Do things differently.

Mobile lay lonely,
Forgotten and left behind,
Remembered all day.

The coughing caught me,
In many random fits and starts,
I must out run this.

A really tough week,
I’m feeling this,
It is hard,
Blue Monday is gone.

Maintain the routine,
Finish things,
Make plans,
Agree,
Be the best you can.

Have a black coffee,
Eating well and not too much,
Get some exercise.

Time just slips away,
I live the moment, in the now,
But they never stay.

A frosty morning,
I wrapped up warm,
Days dawning,
I am still yawning.

It a little fun,
It makes me think for a while,
Outside my old box.

A long day I think,
It hasn’t really started,
But that’s how it feels.

The morning’s still dark,
And my thoughts rumble onwards,
Light in the darkness.

There are challenges,
More obstacles than problems,
That need working through.
