When You Just Don'T Have It

When you just don't have it Do you throw up your hands Do you quit on yourself Or do you fight to regain it And give it your all Not grasping at straws or clutching the air Do you take a break, Why not? and come back to it later Hum a tune, sing a song Tap your feet, let the shower run long Perhaps take a walk down by the river communing with nature... Do you talk to a confidante, complain Rant and rave, spill your guts Or do you just admit ~ Even a finely-tuned machine can get stuck in a rut

And here's hoping that you have very few 'down days' when you'll need them, Ansar. Peace, Gershon

Yes, even a Slinky can get stuck in a rut. (They do, you know). Happiness always, Darlene.
