So Determined

Tonight I'm so determined
  to turn the page tomorrow
To take a couple steps forward
  to end self-pity and sorrow

Yet when the morrow comes
  dawns still another excuse
Last night's resolve now melted
  palms-up shrugging
                    ~ 'What's the use?'

I am smirking at this "bah humbug" attitude. Thinking I may need to watch The Grinch with Jim Cary today, so thank you for that reminder.

Watch the Grinch and then (Oscar the) Grouch -- all from the comfort of your couch. ~ Happy Viewing
