One Day At a Time

I should be feeling very great,
For I spent a weekend out of state.

I have come back feeling out of sorts,
Nothing that can be of any new reports.

I really needed the time away.
It was time for me for once to play.

I have way too much angst and strife,
It is all way to much for just one life.

I feel like my love I am losing.
A lot of feelings that are so confusing.

I came back with a mission,
One that needs no ones permission.

Get my degree that is the plan.
I will do the best that I can.

Find a new home to move into,
Where? Right now I have not a clue.

I am moving full steam ahead,
No matter what my heart dreads.

One day at a time is my new creed.
It will be one that I will one that I carefully heed.

Kristy, There's an old saying "...If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." I was told that while raising my children practically alone. It meant that I needed to do something good for myself. Otherwise, I could not be the great mom that I wanted to be. I loved college. So, that's what I did for recreation... lots and lots... Anyway, you did right this weekend. You needed time. I like your goals. Goals help you achieve. Best of wishes. Full steam ahead. You can do it. Love, Dane
