Days like these.

Have you ever woken up and felt physically and mentally exhausted? Today that is me. Although both of my children did all of the school work with very little complaining. Which can feel like it is an achievement short of a miracle. My husband made a most wonderful breakfast of fried potatoes and omelets. This is not my specialty so it was really nice. So the final person on the list is me, I am once again the problem. I hate that when I am grumpy and I am the whole reason. It is storming but during the day rain and thunder do not bother me when I am safe in the house with my loved ones. Today is CSA pick up day normally I am excited to see what fresh veggies will be coming home with us. Today I might even get the first blackberries of the season. I am excited but tired. I am so blessed in my life that I often feel like it is selfish of me to be off for a day. Maybe I just need some quiet time to myself. Maybe that will help. What do you do when a bad mood strikes?

Today I started reading The Poems of Dylan Thomas and it has been feeling me up with words that I can shallow down and think about for later. Why did it take me so long to find Dylan Thomas? When his love of words are reflected in his work, and I can take them in and feel them mark my soul. Maybe it is just today they will hold power over me. Maybe when the sun makes a debut again his words will sink and become memory. Only time will tell but I want to share a poem with you.


Clown in the Moon


My tears are like the quiet drift
Of petals from some magic rose;
And all my grief flows from the rift
Of unremembered skies and snows.

I think, that if I touched the earth,
It would crumble;
It is so sad and beautiful,
So tremulously like a dream.

Dylan Thomas
I hope you are having a wonderful day filled with Love and Laughter. Be well my friends.
