A Pang of Guilt

Gazing out the window 
    at an angry sky
  I feel a sudden pang of guilt
    although I cannot tell you why

  What is it about gray
    that ruins a perfect day
  It must be something that I did
    though what I cannot say

Nice bit of wit, my friend. The confusion continues. Bill

Isn't that the way it is? The same for the days where something unexpected rears it's ugly head, in my case a spider bite. It certainly put a damper on my day, and made me wonder "Did I do something wrong?" Well, just keep spreading the sunshine Gershon, you have a wonderful way to lift the gloom and bring your own brand of sunshine through your musings. Have a bright, bright, bright sunshiny day, I hope the clouds depart!

Perhaps we feel guilty because we forget for a moment all the bright sunny days.

Self enlightenment is a good thing to have Gershon. Hope you're having a good weekend...

Coincidence! Amazing! I think that's really weird! I often get the same old guilt When looking at my beard. (I've resolve to shave once a month, whether it needs it or not, to tamp that guilt down...)
