SUMMER’S HERE....July 6 th

   

July piece today takes me back to my childhood as I thought about toys and toy instruments I once had.  I think I drove my grandparents and Aunt Julia crazy banging on the drum.  Sure they had headaches afterward. The other instruments were not quite as fun but I enjoyed them on occasion. Now give me jacks, yo-yo and the hula hoop that was my style.  I tried hard to master jacks; eye and hand coordination I felt it was for me.  What I liked in the evening catching fireflies aka lightning bugs which seemed never to survive even with holes on the jar lid.  It’s indeed grand to think back to fun toys. I even have another JULY piece I can compose about other toys I once owned.  I’ve taken my husbands challenge to do the days of the week as an acrostic piece.  Challenges can be fun but mind boggling. I never liked Mondays when I worked. Always the worse day of the week. Today I reflected upon just rolling with the flow and not letting stuff I can’t control stress me out.  There is nothing I or anyone can do at times, so just roll with the punches.  These cliches sure can get to me. 

So until tomorrow....enjoy your Monday; remember STRESSED spelled backwards spells DESSERTS.

   July 6th....DAILY REFLECTIONS 

Fireworks again last night....at least they 

            ended before midnight....so happy

A new week begins....I’ll try to keep positive  

      this week....roll with the tide....go with 

           the flow

Don’t let myself stress over what I can’t 

        control....not good to get 

           stressed....although spelled 

                backwards STRESSED spells       

                        DESSERTS

Jacks, yo-yos, hula hoops....toys of my 

         childhood days

   Ukuleles, drums, kazoos....toy musical  

       instruments I once used to play

       Lightning bug catching....creating 

                   castles in the sand

             Yesteryear’s childhood 

                    memories....the thoughts can be 

                        so grand

                      MONDAY

Monday arrives on the coattails of 

     Sunday....another week begins again

Of course it makes no difference to   

      me....don’t have to be anyplace 

                  special, no plans 

Now if the club was opened I would be at    

            draft beer day....COVID-19 has it      

                   closed again

Days just merge together from one to the 

          next....morning, noon and night, then    

                   morning again

At times I feel I’m in a horror movie....or a 

         long episode of The Twilight Zone

Yet I keep on rolling with the flow....or roll 

        with the punches, same thing to me
