life is a choice
every minute of my life is a choice
I can exercise, clean, eat, write, paint, cartoon or watch TV
Today I chose TV land
I could have snacked on lettuce, tomatoes, or carrots
I chowed down instead on donuts and candy bars
Water was readily available, but I chose soda pop
I had some cinnamon rolls too, with extra frosting
the longer I sit and eat sugar and carbs, the less energy I have
This does not concern me, I am old and tired.
I like naps
The TV is running, but I barely look at it
I use it like a radio, listening while I do other things
I am playing word games
because I love them and life is a choice
At this minute I am enjoying these choices
Tomorrow might be different,
But these are my choices on this lazy hundred degree day
