Then comes a day
Blustery and cussed.
Footfalls reverberate
With
Acrimonious thundering
Mood.
The travel from beginning to end
Is not a gait, trail or stride.
Craters left behind
By movement to the other side
And grateful is the world
When night ends the blustery and cussed
Day.

I know that. Cruel awakening or more the desire for a gentle sleep or already a peaceful pass away? It starts like a prayer?

Well this was kind of a play off of yesterday’s post. Yesterday I wrote something about a calm day, so just to carry over, I wrote about a not so calm day!

sometimes life is reminiscent of a roller coaster ride … even if it’s just the feelings …; )

But I wonder why you (and so many friends here) feel like this? There is a beautiful family, a lucky marriage with a wonderful husband, good health and a satisfying work … not to speak about the inspiring art… so if there is no need to change , why is there this roller coaster ride?

None of us can be “up” every moment of our lives I suppose. Having cranky days or cranky moments doesn’t negate having a beautiful life.

Fortunately this wasn’t based on ‘my’ day Ivor. I was using yesterday’s post to inspire this one. A calm day. A horrid day. They all get in the mix don’t they? And thank you 🙂

Oh I have done that. I try not to because I don’t want to wish my days away! I suppose I just need to plant flowers in the craters I create from stomping that foot 😉

What we must remember during those chaotic days, the good days and bad days all have 324 hours. No more, no less. It only seems like they are longer.

I am chuckling. I think you did a typo but it kind of goes with the ‘bad day’. If all days were 324 hours….. ( I know you meant 24)

Only two people have used it with me. My mom when I was younger (and in trouble). I couldn’t stand it. My aunt, now, to be funny. 🙂 It made me chuckle that you used it!
