It’s been a few bad days for me. I just hope things get better. My husband is in the hospital and prayers are needed. Sitting in his room while he went for tests and therapies I had time to at least keep my mind occupied by writing. It’s keeping me sane. Yesterday’s word was SOULMATE. I did an acrostic about finding a soulmate. In the second piece I focused on a guy who has a checklist for the woman of his dreams. Unfortunately he’s also looking for a rose as he thinks they are the best. The woman who actually checks the list is the orchid which he feels inferior. Do I know guys like that? Yes, in my younger days my first husband and I knew a guy like that. In a way he came to my mind when I composed this.
Terry’s word for yesterday was MEDIOCRE. I decided to use it about how people never ask for help. It all comes from being in organizations that send reports to higher ups on what a local chapter does. It seems that people doing these reports never ask their members questions about things they do. They seem to guess instead of inquiring. I’m a sticker or was when it was my job to do the reporting. Let’s just say members got sick of me asking them all the time.
I loved the wacky holidays. They seem to just mesh into a whimsical piece for sure.
It’s Saturday at 3:00am and I’m trying to get back to sleep.
I think it’s stress of wondering about my husband and what’s to come. Thinking typing would help make me become sleepy I sure hope it does.
Until next time....have a super Saturday; and as always be Stay Safe.

SOUL MATE
Someone may come into your life suddenly
Out of no where it can happen so don’t
despair
Until they do you feel lost and possibly
alone
Like a piece of you is missing, you don’t feel
whole
More often someone else experiences the
same
As they trudge through their own life
routines
They like you have no idea what or who lies
ahead
Each of us who found our soul mate
did so when least expected
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
HIS CHECKLIST
He searched for a soul mate
among the roses he knew
A beautiful flower to share his life
one who’d listen to his hopes
rally his schemes
be a part of his dreams
Someone he could lean upon
when he felt down and blue
A special woman to laugh at his silly jokes
enjoy a cold brew and an occasional
shot of Jack
An individual to share a bowl of popcorn
while watching college football
Who believed in the same values as he
He wanted a woman who’d cheer him
when needed
but be truthful as well
He had a mental checklist
So far no one checked off all the boxes
Except one....he saw her as a pretty orchid
not a beautiful rose

ALWAYS ASK FOR HELP
When in doubt on doing a project
ask for guidance
Unfortunately he did not do so
Instead he did a mediocre job of handling
the situation
Doing what he felt right by his standards
Never asking for help or assistance
he completed the half-year report
of what the local group completed
Thinking he could do it the task at hand
and that he knew everything
The end result.... the report shoddy
he left out much of what was
accomplished

WACKY HOLIDAYS FEBRUARY 26th
(National Pistachio Day; Tell a Fairy
Tale Day; National Personal Chef
Day and Levi Strauss Day)
Once upon a time, my Levi’s fit so well
Now thanks to my personal chef
(my husband) they are a tad snug
It’s that pistachio pudding salad
he makes that did the damage
But it’s too good to pass up
