#Excuses | Anita Dawes and Jaye Marie

Yesterday was my best day so far this year.

The sun was out in full force, and a gentle breeze diluted the unexpected heat. The perfect time to catch up on all those jobs that have been waiting for me…

And best of all, working with my bonsai and the new seedlings really did me good. Somehow, I stopped worrying about everything, my mind freewheeled and I relaxed, probably for the first time in ages.

Consequently, I feel decidedly odd in the office today. I keep looking out of the window, knowing where I would rather be. But, there are jobs that need me indoors and there will be family cooking later on today.

I hope you all enjoy your weekend, and I’ll see you on Monday!

I am I am what I am I make no excuses Nor do I make changes Yet there are days when I feel like a non-entity Grey, faded, invisible to the world outside These are my duvet days When I wonder, Can I give my mind a do over? Introduce new thoughts Not so easy, the old grey matter is stubborn It runs on automatic pre-determined thoughts Habits, like chewing your nails Hard to break These days, I imagine So many kinds of me None seem to fit In the end I would rather be… Right where I am… ©AnitaDawes2022
