Life Aversions

Quote: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. 
 By -Eleanor Roosevelt" 
                 ________________________________

I am enraged when coffee makers explode. 
The dog barking at neighbor's door irritates me. 
Also the vivid couple in bed with loud stomping. 
I am irked by those who squawk as such beings. 
Pride is typically a fine stone that will endure. 
But some find it a tough rock to tumble over. 
My reward came from a wealthy aunt's death. 
Things rise, and then further challenges emerge. 
Moving from a one-bedroom flat to a house. 
The bounty of delight has fueled me to excess.

Wow! Fav-ing, cause this great confessional was like my dear friend came & we’re sitting at kitchen table, having a cuppa, sharing the common aversions…& the uncommon changs to happen soon in daily life. All put together this felt like the creation of a magnificent friendship. I thank you Sotto!
