SNOWBIRD 2

THE WORRIER

September 25, 2010

 It took me clear

until Thursday to calm down,

to rejuvenate, to rejoice.

I’m still a bit up in the air

but I feel a change coming over me.

I can’t seem to put in sequence

the slightest responsibilities

and deal with them one at a time.

I’m afraid

·   I won’t make it (to some scheduled event);

·   I’ll be late.

·   we won’t have enough food;

·   we’ll have too much food.

·   we will run out of clean clothes;

·   we brought too many clothes.

·   I’ll finish my book and won’t have anything to read.

·   I’ll never finish it.

I

·   Can’t wait to get home;

·   Dread getting home and back to routine

This worrying illness is

Debilitating.

RIDDLE

The week we were in sunny St. George

I got no tan at all.

The week we were at Snowbird 9000 feet;

I got a beautiful tan.

Why?

Give up?

In St. George, I went swimming at 7 AM

Before the sun came up;

At Snowbird I went swimming at 9 AM

in full sun.
