Standing on the edge and shaking?

 A Couple Days On the Edge

there are always  these days between Christmas and New Year’s  that feel a bit out of place.  The anticipation  and joy or drama of Christmas has passed  yet the New Year is still hauntingly far awy.  far away because we are silently making  ourselves promises about how we want to  change our lives in the coming year.  Maybe we will proclaim these hopes in resolutions and maybe not.  After all public declarations offer no shelter and sometimes deliver no assistance from those you may look to for support.  They are risky and a tough bargain to make within.  the only suggestion that seems to make sense is to whisper  them to your soul with a promise to act and learn  from the consequences of the acts.  

If others choose to learn with you there will be more joy, however, the attempts alone will bring more peace.  

So… what to do with these edge days?  

Well the best I can figure. Out is to flip the lights on and off so that we can adjust our visions accordingly before moving forward and that’s what this blog will do for a few days including today.  The best way to do this?  Who knows?  A good way?… Some humor, some poetry… some prayer/meditation and then some celebration.   Today a little (very little ) humor and an eight line rhyme.   Oh and a comment  about snow globes… there will be more about snow globes in the  next two entries as well.   Here we stand on the edge and now we leap.

Humor?

People make mistakes… I gave my friend “glue stick” instead of chapstick  ..Horrible mistake I know, however  he hasn’t said a. Word …. (Rim shot)

Poetry * line rhyme

While truth is valued lies are cheap

Fear blocks thoughts and feelings deep

Most shiver in the dark like sheep

Afraid to sing afraid to leap

The ragged road is rough and steep

But in let courage slowly creep

And tears of joy you’ll gently weep

Giving poets words to  keep

Beware of those  who only have the courage to shake the snow globe... they know people will stand still to watch the flakes fall, and yet the scene  will not really change.  focus on change. In 2022 no matter how much the world seems to shake.
