Have I Done This Before?
Why Is This Happening In My Life?
I try to look at this current situation
In a new light
Using the old solution
Brings me the old result
Changing it up
Brings me no alternative
But to find a different answer
I keep searching deeper
Finding a new journey
Now looking at what I have
Wanting to go back to my old ways
Still not convinced
I beg to return
Slowly my thoughts will generate
All I have to do is wait
Be Patient
Keep writing and put all judgements aside
Here is an example
The word judgement comes up as an error in spell check
Even though it is a word
Why?
I am confused
The meaning is The ability to make consider decisions or come to a sensible conclusions
What do you think ?
As I put that thought aside
I pull out an outdated yogurt
The date is January 26th
On line it says a yogurt is good seven days after the expiration date
I bought seven yogurts and I haven't felt in the mood to eat them
Now it looks as if I have to throw them out
It is like throwing money out the window
So I pull one out and eat it
These are some of the issues I deal with
I am trying to save time and money
Learning something new is not always easy
You have to admit when you are wrong
Deny your current feelings
Sometimes my mind wants to be lazy
Here is another time
I have a portable charger that charges my phone
I plug it in to the computer to recharge
Then I use it to charge my phone
In the past it has worked great
It blinks when it has to be recharged
If the light is solid it is ready to go
The light shuts off when the charger is totally dead
The charger was plugged in for days
My phone was plugged in to the charger
My phone should be charged when I check on it a few hours later
It is on 60 percent
When I first plugged it in it was at 56 percent
What has just happened ?
Is my phone the problem ?
Is the charger not working ?
So I plug the charger back into the computer to charge again
These and other questions I tackle on a daily basis
The results may come into light
One day when I am not looking
To my surprise
No matter what I try
So far I get the same result
I am not sure how to change the situation ?
I put my thoughts down on paper
Then move on
Finishing up what I started here today
Waiting to find a better answer another day
Putting the why's on hold ?
I will keep looking back from time to time
To see if my mind thinks of something different
How many thoughts do you struggle with ?
That just don't make sense at the time
You have to make a choice
Complain or just move on
When I real breakthrough is just around the corner
Will you do what I do
Or just say boo hoo

Kari Poulsen I try to break the big problems down into ten tiny little ones. Then I chip away to make them even smaller. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Then back to the drawing board I go. Every day we get a chance to try one more time. I find a way to make even my toughest days only a laugh away. Thank you so much for reading. All is fine and wishing you the same and better.

I have many thoughts that confuse me. I look at them as learning opportunities. I hope you are well!

Louise Powles There are so many problems and interesting situations that people deal with every day. Solutions are there but sometimes not known till a later time. If we discuss the issues and leave the solution open to suggestions then we might be able to solve the problem in question sooner. Since more than one person has more than one thought. In a stoem story /poem it is a fun way to approach any day. Thank you for having fun. Sharing and caring brings out the best in people. Have a wonderful morning.
