A Day In My Life

Not sure what I do but I sure am exhausted at the end of the day, so I decided to think about it and made this list . . . I sleep (not enough, probably) I eat to much, sometimes Write poetry that soothe my soul (every day) Print out and file said poetry Spend too much time on poetry soup (reading and commenting) Love it, love it, my safe haven forever Work (gurrrrrrr) honestly my job is too stressful Watch way too much TV Check out Facebook Watch U-tube videos Listen to the news, Local, Canadian, World Play with my cat, oh, that I like, here kitty, kitty Read the newspaper Cook a meal and invite a friend, sometimes Work on my scrap book (endless project) Sew, well I have the sewing machine ready for action Go for a walk with my camera(new hobby) Talk to my friends and family each day Take a walk to art gallery for inspiration Do the dishes Tidy up my nest (my sister says I made a nest for myself) Take a bubble bath or shower Wash my long hair (many steps involved, girls understand that) Listen to music (and dance around) Water my wilting plants Meditate Read Put the rugs back in place, (stop it Pearl Smudges) Have a nap Sometimes, I make jewelry Look at my clothes, why not Laundry if I feel strong Sweep and dust the nest Drink tea or perhaps a café I have been known to have a chocolate bar at 3 pm Feed Pearl Smudges some sardines (stinky) Clean her litter box (yukky) Re-arrange my jewelry (means put it away) Iron a uniform for next day (nurse) Think and ponder life in general Sometimes, often, I go shopping for stuff Go for a coffee with my cell phone Look in the mirror and decide make-up is needed Tidy up my desk of dictionaries and papers and cups Take out the garbage (how can one girl have so much) Stand and look at my art hanging on the wall Recall memories with tears (not a day goes by) Re-arrange the furniture, it never seems right Just sit and relax Well, very sure there must be more but now I know why I am exhausted, at the end of each day, however, I would not change one thing . . . _____________________ April 27, 2015 Poetry/List/A Day in My Life Copyright Protected, ID 04-667-284-27 All Rights Reserved, 2015, Constance La France Submitted to the Standard contest, Today I Accomplished, sponsor Sara Kendrick, Judged 2015 First Place ____________________________ Poem Of The Day, April 29, 2015

Great Job Broken...I do not enter many contests, but I thought about this contest, egads, I made it so complicated that I did not really try...I really like the part, "Well, very sure there must be more but now I know why I am exhausted, at the end of each day, however, I would not change one thing . . ." Congrats :)

Oh Broken wings how do you manage to cram it all in - This line struck me so so deeply 'Spend too much time on poetry soup (reading and commenting) Love it, love it, my safe haven forever' I KNOW I would never have got through the last very traumatic 14 months if I hadn't started writing! Congrats on poem of the day:-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx
