it is the oddest thing
to look up from what you are doing
and realize
that the wet on your face
is actually
your own tears

I didn’t even realize
that I was crying

there are so many things
to be happy about in my life
friends – far and wide
family – here and far
a 3.5lb heat seeking love machine
the sky is blue
the sun is shining
my family is mostly healthy
I’m as healthy as I’m gonna get
for an old bald broad eh?

I’m going for a drive…
headed to the farm
some forest and field work
is in store for me

in spite of the fact
that I desperately need
to find a job
I need more than even
to connect with nature
and family

I really really need it.

surprisingly enough
life continues to move along
at a speed
that fascinates me

remember when you were a child
and each year seemed eons long

as a middle aged adult
I’m shocked at how quickly
things move

time has a way of slipping past us
and if we aren’t paying attention
we’ll miss the whole show

I have to put the thoughts
of this past weekend
and my daughter
away for now

I have to get about the business
of finding a new job

so for your entertainment today
I’m attaching someone else’s blog
a story about my fairly recent past
written by a friend

I may be back later
but for now
this will have to do for you

because at times
of real stress
it doesn’t hurt
to be reminded of
having done something well

in spite of myself
