When life is going swimmingly
When all seems to be going well
I somehow can't accept it.
I am always waiting for the messenger
to bring me bad tidings
or something that throws a spanner in the works.
I just can't seem to accept and appreciate that things are generally good.
But then it morphs into this worry about worry,
being stressed about being stressed
Until I learnt, that one mustn't fear these evil tidings,
To do so is just bad news.

I dunno where I get my positive outlook from. My mum was a great worrier and used to drive me nuts with her worries about what was going to go wrong.
People have told me that i have a great ability to forsee snags ahead but always with a 'work-around' or solution. Now i could call that being negative, thats ok. But i prefer to call myself positive. Have you ever considered calling yourself positive minded, give it a try, it just might work for you.
Nice. I don't think I would ever think of someone who has work around solutions for things, negative! Surely the opposite!
I get bogged down about worries etc, but I come clear.
FYI - this poem was about the past. I am not in that mindset anymore.
oooppss sorry, it's good to read you have moved on.
my motto is
'no news, is good news'
that way, even if the distance
or the unknowing, makes me worry
I can imagine, more positive hypotheticals..
(an intriguing subject and well written, thanks for sharing)
past half way in your challenge, only fifteen days left now
hope you're having fun
Thank you! I am still having fun!
No news is good news is a saying for a reason. Yet, the unknown is scary for me haha!
It's seasonally 'good tidings' now, isn't it?!
Meanwhile - tidings were good for me, until a tide came in and sunk me sand-castle! lol.
Seasonly good tidings but I am a grinch and I didn't wanna write about that haha.
Haha maybe your tidings weren't so good after all if they could be swept away by a tide and there was sand involved!! 😛
So still challenging yourself as past life challenged you, this is a wonderful penning of personal feelings, keep your chin up almost there now ☺
Thank you!
Had a friend who used to respond to 'good morning' with: 'yeah, but some SOB is going to come along and screw it up'. Your piece reminded me of him only with a more positive spin. Another great write Draven🙂
Oh wow, I find that kind of energy so difficult to deal with now!! Thank you!
