Forgetting To Live

stale, stagnant, unmoving
going nowhere,
forgetting to live
stuck in the muck of nothingness
dried out, dried up,
closing inward
forgetting to care

A true write with true words. "Wonderful" We all need to be happy. Look around and find happy. Not always easy but try. Have a blessed day................

Now I feel so bad about that bug I left for dead in the mud last week. ~ Call me 'Killer'

Not me! I don't know how much longer I have, so I've having a helluva time every day. AA says "Live one day at a time." I believe that! No, I don't go to AA. Just heard somewhere they say that.
