Sometimes...And Today...


Sometimes - my mouth engages before my brain.
Sometimes  - my caustic humor does not sit well with others.
Sometimes - I get wound up, like a top;
Overstressed, overwhelmed, over wrought.
Sometimes - my breathing becomes shallow.
Sometimes - my shoulders hunch.
Sometimes - the 'worst-case-scenerio' is my default;
Overstressed, overwhelmed, over wrought.

Today - I will get out of my own way.
Today - I will breathe deeply.
Today - I will move consciously.
Today - I will sit in silence;
Grateful, peaceful, calm.

Namaste!

  1. I knew we were friends for a reason. Your 'Sometimes' sounds like me, most days. And I need to borrow your 'Today'.

    I hope your today is awesome, Janet.

  2. thank you Janet for unlurking, thank you for your loving & supportive comment, there is a part of me, a part of that old afraid soul, who fears being so honest & open. She tries constantly to shut me up - comments like yours make me realize it's time to stop listening to her & to embrace the much bolder, braver, fearless me. I am so glad that my story makes you feel and see joy & hope because they are always there.

    much love Susan

    1. Hi, Susan - you're welcome :) I have one a "Don't say that!", "Don't write that!" self - I have yet to be brave enough to ignore her (although, I am putting more and more of 'me' out here on the blog). It takes time, right? And remembering, to paraphrase your showcased art by Mati Rose, There is Nothing Wrong With Me!
