DOG DAYS of SUMMER....August 10th



Another week begins.  Another week I’m isolated from going places I enjoy.  It’s Monday. That’s ok because today I’m going to be LAZY.  I’m celebrating the wacky holiday of National Lazy Day.  I feel we need to forget everything and don’t do anything today.  I may not even read but play games on my phone.  The song about the hazy days of summer mention about having pretzels and beer so I plan to have a brew or two and few pretzels.  I wrote the piece about being lazy as it popped into my mind.  My Plan with a capital ‘P’ is to do nothing today. Be a BOAL (bump on a log) let the day just drift by.  The book I mentioned in the piece about reflections is one I purchased yesterday. It a reflections book written by my cousin.  It’s very uplifting and spiritual.  There are times we need this type of reading in our lives.  
Yesterday was book lovers day.  I did read and began my new Sunday only author.  When I go back to daily reading it’ll be someone different.  The acrostic piece tells it like it is. This is a true to fact piece.  It will be included in my memories of writings.  
It’s going to interesting once I get them all together to see how many pieces I’ve written actually comes from my life.  
So as it’s National Lazy Day, if possible be a tad bit today. 
Until tomorrow....have a good day and as always Stay Safe.

August 10th....DAILY REFLECTIONS 



I’m ready for today’s wacky/weird
  holiday....I plan to celebrate....why 
     not....gives me something to look 
          forward to today 
       

It’s NATIONAL LAZY DAY....giving us all 
   permission to kick back and relax....this 
    according to what I Googled about the 
       day 

It’s the the Dog Days of Summer....and as 
   the words from a song go  ‘lazy, hazy, 
    crazy days of summer’....and as the song 
    also said ‘those days of soda and         
       pretzels and beer’....so beer and 
          pretzels it is to celebrate

A day of reading yesterday, book lovers day

Usually I read Jane Austen on Sundays but
  began a reread of Phyllis Whitney

Going to dedicate Sunday reading to her for
     awhile 

Until I read all her books I own, then off to       
     another author

 Since it’s Sunday reading I am going with 
       classic authors

The Bronte sisters sound like a good idea 
   I always loved Heathcliff

               LAZY BONES DAY
           © Scottie-ann Murphy

 I feel like doing nothing, nothing, 
     nothing at all today 
Nada, zilch, zip, nought, nix, diddly 
Today is National Lazy Day, a wacky holiday 
That’s why I plan to be, lazy, lazy, lazy 

Sit back put up my feet and take it easy
Let my mind wander here and there 
Think about nothing exciting or special 
Let random thoughts come as they may

Drink coffee, perhaps watch a game show 
Drink lemon water, then watch a movie
Sip a cocktail, while penning a few words 
Read a reflection or two from my newest 
     book

Lazy, lulling, laid back, lackadaisical 
That’s my plan for the day, 
     Big Plan with a capital ‘P
Nothing can get me motivated
  to venture anywhere or do anything 

I’ll blame my passiveness on Monday
Call it the Monday Blahs and Blues
Or a Hazy Lazy Day of August 
No matter the name, it’s just my lazy day
