Sunday

 

There’s no rush on a Sunday

It’s your day to simply be

I love every day of the week

But Sunday is just for me

 

You can waste time on a Sunday

You can slowdown totally

Take your time on a Sunday

There’s nowhere you need to be

 

No pressure to be anything

Other than your relaxed self

Watch a movie or see a friend

Pull that book out from the shelf

 

It’s all ok on a Sunday

No matter what you choose to do

Whether active or sloth-like

Whatever works for you

 

Another day will roll around

In time Monday will come

But for now it’s a Sunday

So why not have some fun!!

 

Emily Sat On The Wall

Like humpty I fell off the wall

And couldn’t get back up

I tried and tried but still I’d fall

Built up by buttercup

I went in for a brain transplant

The one I had was bad

They told me there is always hope

To fix the one I had

But I told them it’s no use

It was broken up in pieces

I need a new one now I said

Before this pain increases

I was taking meds and talking

It worked no longer more

I’d hoped that they’d believe me

And not send me out the door

They had no beds the first day

The second or the third

But they promised they would help me

I felt like I was heard

A week went by

And then another

Overstaying my welcome

With my father and my mother

There were too many sick to take

A bed would not be free

That was the harsh reality

At least, it was for me

I got word of a special place

Where they teach recovery

For adults with mental health issues

Adults just like you and me

I went to school

But not to learn a trade

To gain skills to manage mood

That my illness currently forbade

My lunch packed up

And my shoes tied tight

Ready to learn

And to see the light

I had no tools, I told them

They said we have them here

You can take them home with you to use

When things again get hard to bear

Magical Moments

Not bad Mother Nature, not bad at all...

When you're looking at how far you have left to go, look back at just how far you've already come

When your week starts like this, you know it's going to be a good one...

Without the rain, there would be no rainbow ~ Gilbert Chesterton

Things may appear gloomy ahead, and you may feel like giving up, but you never 

know what's just around the corner. It could be nothing, or it could be everything. 

Pausing allows you to take a beat to take a breath in your life. As everybody else is 

rushing around like a lunatic out there, I dare you to do the opposite ~ Maria Shriver

Sunrise Is The New Sunset: Out-Running The Black Dog

I did a thing and signed up to run the YMCA Canberra Half Marathon. Over the next 12 weeks, I will be in training which means early mornings, meeting new people and a good reason to get out of bed.

I have a black dog. The black dog is lazy and would rather I lie in bed and feel sorry for myself. Right now The Black Dog is faster than me, but if I keep running I'll eventually catch up ;)
