SEEKING PEACE AND JOY—My Messy Monday Mindset
Oh I’m a bit anxious, I’m not going to panic
Of course it is Monday but alas I’m not manic
I’m not in a deck chair upon the Titanic
Or searching McDonald’s for something organic
But I woke up this morning with a lingering concern
that I wasn’t so ready for the season to turn
There’ve been so many lessons that I’ve still got to learn
Which bridges to build and which ones to burn?
I wonder which dreams I dare not forget
Reminding myself I’ll only regret
If I give up on others who cling to hope yet
and draw up a list of who owes me debt.
Then I breathe deeply and my mind slowly shifts
I let it relax some and it gently drifts
I sing an old song and a strong spirit lifts
The part of my soul that highlights my gifts
Sometimes I’m not sure which gifts to employ
You see some will create while others destroy
But just then I throw out these thoughts that annoy
Because I have a new week to seek Peace and Joy
