Mornings
Mornings are full of promise. They bring a new beginning, even as her old worries are clinging to her. She breathes in a sigh of relief. It is true what they say - life goes on.

Happy Mothers Day
A day of happy mothers...
Oh what joy to see!
Twenty plus four hours
Without a bloody knee.
Without a crying eye to dry,
Without a heart to mend.
Without a disappointment-
Without a bitter end.
Yet life can't be all happy
Without a pain to bear
And that is why our mothers
Are happy to be there.

Taking Credit
She has a tough time taking credit for all her hard work. When she looks online or at any publication, everyone else is doing more and doing it better. Society has been skilled at making her feel small so that the only credit she'll need is the plastic kind. She pats herself on the back today; the ego boost is well deserved and its free.

Determining Importance
There are volumes on her desk that outline where she should focus her attention, how she should proceed in order to get the most out of her life, where she should go and what she should buy. She needs to remember that what is important can't be bought. It isn't anything that someone else could know. It is the sacred knowledge in her own heart that tells her how to live her life. There is more good reading there than she will be able to get through but that information determines what is really important to her. That knowledge leads her to happiness.

Sleep
It is the elusive animal that she hunts mercilessly. When she captures it, she devours it. Satiated, she can only dream of her next kill.

Perspective
She wonders why uphill and downhill both conjure images of struggle. If it never gets easy, she should relish the walk, no matter which side of the hill she is on.

Lifting Her Spirit
She dreams of days of long sunshine, warm embraces, lazy walks. The feelings that pass through her are electric, uplifting, energizing. She basks in her dreams and smiles at the cold air in her face. This is the power of her mind. She can take herself there.

Easy Breezy
She sends in her protest online. This is made for her. She wishes all companies had a conscience because she can't give up her computer.

It is and It isn't
She volleys back and forth on what it's all about - she knows that money doesn't make her. It isn't worth her life, her guts, her worry and time. She has enough and she wants to settle. But she knows she is an addict. Breaking her habit of wanting, needing the luxurious, scathes her soul. She wishes she could do with regular. She wants normal. She is addicted to excess.
