Heartbroken feelings
Misplaced alone abandoned
Scenario feared
Hidden Ageism nightmares
Fake smiles combat depression
Heartbroken feelings
Misplaced alone abandoned
Scenario feared
Hidden Ageism nightmares
Fake smiles combat depression
Worldwide year plus months
Life seclusion hamper days
Void hugs tender touch
Bees, butterflies pollinate
Productive approach wins race
Today’s prompts – morbid / lost
Prepped healthy breakfast
Me, myself and I – feeling lost
Another day alone face
Refrain complain happiness fake
Divorce unfortunate myriad loss
Ninety degrees heat remain indoors
Genetics – counseling – society’s views
Health crisis social distancing
God-awful morbid thoughts
Fearful history repeat Agoraphobic outcome
Today was one of those days gal awakened on the late side.
The norm for this retiree in recent times has been to access the laptop for a short
period following taking my thyroid medication and required 8 ounces of
water on an empty stomach.
I don’t bother to read all the hyped media articles rather I check for newly
posted reads within my hometown (town I reside in) groups on Facebook.
New post:
My state’s governor has ‘mandated’ wearing facial masks beginning May 6th or
face a fine of $300 for first offense.
This post created quite a stir of comments ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ of why now.
The following comment led to some chuckles from members – it made perfect sense.
“Forcing people to wear masks 2 months into a Pandemic is like putting on a
condom after she’s pregnant.”
Phone rang – my daily reassurance ‘check if I’m okay’ call.
Before I had time to prep some breakfast another phone call from a man I dated
for a few years on a platonic basis.
Ah, more chit-chat about the world crisis from a mature individual who collects
facts.
Needless to say I got a late start on my ‘to do’ list.
The third call of the day was from my son who resides overseas.
I love his upbeat ‘optimistic’ calls then wonder if I’ll ever see him face-to-face
again.
Nearing dinner time I doubt I’ll finish all those tasks and have to add them to
tomorrow’s list.
Along with the setting sun comes the feeling of loneliness again.
So many people complain and me well I think how nice it would be to have
another person to dine with and share intelligent conversation across the
dinner table.
At my age with the world upside down I resigned myself to the fact the likelihood
of a new companion is out of the future’s picture.
Now tis time for me to move along and update my reading progress over at Goodreads.
Hoping with tomorrow I’ll find poetic desire – today it was lost somewhere between
the phone calls for which I’m thankful.
What Day Is It Anyway? Monday May 4th 2020
Today’s words: biscuit – fist – cross
E’er wonder what makes a person snap
Cross fine thread-like line sane to crazy
Totally disgusted percentage today’s youth lazy
World of violent video games ‘n fast food meals
Request favor family member – only work for cash surreal
Technology – constant sudden computer updates shakes her fist
Oh great – a look at clock hours past time relax – today no tea and biscuit
Another night prep a meal for one- sad lonely feelings connote
Sneaky suspicion she’s a wee bit ‘Mad as a Hatter’ until read following quote
“Finding true love is like finding the mosquito that bit you” – Anonymous wrote.
Three Things Challenge No: 165
Alone on park bench I sit
Amidst beautiful flowers
Rays of radiant sunshine
Caress my worn-out face
Feeling so very defeated
Tired of life’s daily rat race
Who feign happiness this new year
What happened – a setback find myself return sad place
When others speak unimportant woes I think disgrace
Why instant stomach churns rocks wish at them throw
Scream out loud – Shut up since my plight you don’t know
The journey taken thru dark places taught me distrust humans
I find it so very hard to believe faithfulness turn questionable God’s plan.

Alone sits with grief
Stares in space disbelief
Lost place consider home
Commence again self alone
Unknown exact path turn
Remembrances forevermore yearn
Comparisons generate depression
Positives accept – disallow dat culprit win
Dismiss numerous intrusive sad thoughts
Countless shreds happiness future straightaway sought.
