Quiet And Silent
I Am Home
My dirty socks tossed on the floor
Half undressed and ready to hop into a shower
I thought a quick thought
My wife asleep and our cat Charlotte by her side
After a busy night
This is the first sign of peace
My body at rest
Usually when I come home
I try to recap my day
The highs and lows
Then I write down a few thoughts that I learned from today
My mind even too tired to recap my day
My body ready for a nice hot shower
I close my eyes
Breathing deep so I can fill up my lungs
With fresh air
As I leaned back on the kitchen chair
It creaked in moral support
No matter what happened earlier
It is soon forgotten
I feel my toes grip the floor
I am not hungry or tired
Overall I had a good night at work
Busy at times and then we have a lul
Where we gear up for the next rush
My drive home was peaceful and satisfying
I often think about years ago
When in school
They had these big maps on the walls
Sitting off in a corner was a globe
Where everyone looked at from time to time
Somehow we felt closer to the people all over the world
Like we are no different than each other
Just trying to make since of it all
It is not easy trying to follow the news every day
So many things happen
I wonder if the newspaper reporters
Get tired of all those bad stories
Maybe one day things will turn around
For a change
Good news will sell

Gypsy Rose Lee I am so glad things are looking up. I hope you got to take that walk you have been waiting for. Our physical health is just as important as our mental health. It is nice to see changes in your life going in the right direction. It has been hot in the '90s with high humidity. I am so excited to come home and relax with the air conditioners on. Thank you for reading and sharing. Have a great night.

I am glad to say I could end this month with three payments that came in. So doing better. Still searching for that ideal writing job and wondering if I should venture forth and take a look at the beach since I have been inside for like forever. I hope you have an inspirational new week,

John Hansen I like it when life is simple and sweet. If it is at home or at work it seems like I am on vacation. I also concentrate on good news stories and I will listen to some bad to keep a well-rounded attitude. They say too much of any one thing is no good. Every day can be a challenge. Thank you so much for reading and sharing. Have one wonderful Sunday.

Yes, they say bad news sells. I chose settings from one of my online news providers so I only receive good news stories. Unfortunately I Only get news notifications about once a week. Is there that little good mews to report in the world? I hope it changes one day soon. Nice work with this poem Dream On.
