I got through yesterday kicking & screaming
Thank you universe for helping my healing
By mid afternoon I'd made the call
Fortunately I was told tomorrow is cool
At this time I'm already starting to screw
No time to ponder need to pick up new crew
A packed train and one of my dogs not liking the move
Finally step off to the platform letting people pass through
To be hit with smell of someone sparking a doob
I carry on walking while letting go of that harmonious smell
To suddenly see a neighbour who is toking as well
Before I know it he said 1 hour I'll give you a bell
Now back in my home hoping he doesn't call
By the end of the evening I'm left raiding box
I guess I took a step forward then got stuck
I'm hoping for today I have better luck

May that luck be with you all the time, thinking of you with kind thoughts.
I know I'm trying to make a leap but I was guided this morning to be sure that other things are in place as environment has a big part to play.
As always I thank you for the support.
Those 'other things' - we may see things from different points of view. I mean, singing is bad for health. For other's health, that is, when it's me singing! heehee.
Singing is a additive behaviour I could deal with
Poetry is such a healing process and outlet for me.
Keep writing
Pen is your sword
Addiction the renegade.
I could not agree more pen warriors are what's needed in this world. To write poetry wiser than the enemy will ever be.
Thank you my friend for commenting

Good luck! You can do it. Be your own self. You have stamina and courage. Your bold too.
Thank you friend, today's not going so well but like you said at least I'm being my self.
Dan,
Calmly...
One hour at a time...
with pics of your children
in front of you and whatever
else is most precious to you!
You can do it! You’re strong
and brave! Concentrate on
that and write!
You’re an awesome writer!
Keep it together today!
I’ll visit your page again...
tomorrow!
~Laura~
I've had trickles of tears all day today, I've now read your words and it just came gushing out.
Thank you for helping release, I think deep down I don't really believe it, as hard as try.
It’ll take time! Keep trying! Giving up is not an option!
There are always plenty of challenges waiting to thwart our goals, one fall is just another chance to get back up!
Yesterday was that fall but today I'm still going to stand tall.
Thank my friend I hope you are well!
