Leave Your Rut Far Behind

When every day is a redo of yesterday When every hour is the same as the hour before And the day before and the days of the weeks before Enthusiasm dissipates rapidly and completely Excitement dies Discouragement sets in So…. Shake out your dancing shoes. Grab your tennis racket. Call the person you have always wanted to get to know better. Make a lunch date. Run away from your life. Leave your rut far behind Because it is time to paint, and sing, and dance and play! Today. No excuses.

Want to laugh? When I read the title on your list of poems, I saw this: Leave your Butt Far Behind. Oh, well. R is only a B with a line jutting out instead of a half-circle. :) gw

I kept laughing at this title, wondering WHO would figure this little "almost butt thing" out. I figured it would be you and Jan. I am shocked she has not stopped by and commented.
