love
Those lines that I before have writ do lie,
Even those that said I could not love you dearer:
Yet then my judgment knew no reason why
My most full flame should afterwards burn clearer.
But reckoning Time, whose million’d accidents
Creep in ‘twixt vows, and change decrees of kings,
Tan sacred beauty, blunt the sharp’st intents,
Divert strong minds to the course of altering things;
Alas! why, fearing of Time’s tyranny,
Might I not then say, ‘Now I love you best,’
When I was certain o’er incertainty,
Crowning the present, doubting of the rest?
Love is a babe, then might I not say so,
To give full growth to that which still doth grow?
Shakespeare’s Sonnets – Sonnet 115
Though oft battle fought and scars deep, love still alive. Today love remembered and vows renewed.

laugh
Reminded this morning that laughter is as important to restoring health as sleep. Alongside those exercises can practise smiling and a good laughing workout. Not quite sure why sometimes a situation can prompt tears of laughter and yet another day indifferent puzzlement as to what was funny. Guess those switches in our heads are sometimes up and sometimes down.
I have 80 more words but they can be carried forward like annual leave to use in an emergency when otherwise work would make a demand. Not quite the same but close enough and ..,. Now just 43 remain. Why if I just tap a few more then 30. If I start to countdown then will reach target albeit poorly specified for that to be true. No matter twenty nine, twenty eight , twenty seven, 26,25,24,23,22, 21, … Ten,nine,eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, done.
Have a fun day

pen a verse
Let the words come
Tripping and skipping
Dancing onto the page
Seeking approval from no one
Don’t chain and constrain them
Holding them back by considered thought
To pen a few words ,after initial freedom, has proved as challenging as more . Desire for excellence or perhaps avoidance of criticism stopping this just being fun. Do you prefer “Why chain and constrain them” to final choice? Does it matter. Whether it does or not , “please myself” is going to be lesson for today.

complain
Today I thought I would look back a year and see what word had come to mind. Well it was complain and a timely reminder how easy it is to grumble with friends about lifes injustices mostly minor to pass the time of day. Time to try that 30 day challenge , maybe this time I will at least manage 30 hours without a complaint uttering from my lips. We shall see.
Have a nice day

regret
What I had written have accidentally deleted so must try to recall what it was I had to say. Well what is left starts
… and easily misunderstood. None the wiser But here at least is the link to the article by Fabiana that I had stumbled on. A reminder that how we view our experiences as important as what they actually are.
And now the words that remained.
Why did I find this now? Why did I choose to share? What is there to regret? What is there to learn?
As I wandered further on my internet travels realised it was perhaps not these questions I was meant to dwell on today. They were simply on the road to faith or rather “Not conviction but devotion.” Puzzled here explained.Not necessarily the answer for me but comfort in knowing I alone do not struggle.

exercise
Here an enthusiast who set up Wheely Good Fitness how could I resist. Easily, my immediate response but perhaps this time will shift perception and enjoy the ‘burn’. Or at least persevere to enjoy benefits if not the action.

be kind
Today had a plan. A pact to exercise made with a friend not just myself. But not reporting success.. I have excuses clothed as reasons I could share but that is what they are I will not pretend otherwise to you or me. Would I have accepted them as reasons if in paid employment or sighed at yet another lame tale. Maybe though as suggested to me I would have been kind, though enabling folly is not kindness. Wisdom is to know when to encourage more and when to step back.
Day not yet over so still time to change this day from failure to success. Best stop this distraction and start now.
