Hopelessly Stuck

I’m stuck in the present And stuck in the past. I’m all out of room From the stuff I’ve amassed. The future may beckon But I can’t respond Because I’m so stuck I can’t see the beyond. Where once I possessed Much more moxie and pluck, Today I’m depleted And hopelessly stuck.

Funny, I was thinking what a great way to get unstuck... write a poem. Let me know if you do. Good luck, Jim

That's a marvelous idea for a poem Ilene. I think it's true: we do less with more I find.

There are so many memories in things we collect and hoard Ilene - its very hard to get rid of some things you have held on to for many years:-) Hugs Jan xx
