sols: some days

Slice of Life Stories hosted


some days are
easy, fast-paced,
check-it-off-your-to-do-list
kind of days.

some days are
action-packed and challenging
so nothing-gets-accomplished
kind of days.

some days i
take time to laugh
and live in the
moment.

some days i
struggle to see
the joy in the littlest
moments.

some days i
can't wait to write
and share my
story.

some days i
don't want to write.
end. of.
story.

but today,
another some day,
i decided to write
anyways.

  3. Thank goodness each day is different or else what a boring life we would lead. I'm sure we include a little of the above in each day. And what would we do if we didn't write? Thanks for sharing your struggles and joys! Love ya M

  4. And then somedays turns into a poem that is so spot on. We all have those days where we have to dig deep to find that hidden gem. You are a master poem creator!

  5. That's the way to go - don't want to write, but write anyways. The words may surprise us.

  7. Like the repetition & the meaning behind each verse. It's just busy 'some' days, you're so right, Michelle.
