I have been too tired to write.
There have been bladder infections and antibiotics
that made me too tired to write.
Lots of water, cranberry juice and I stopped drinking coffee.
I have been too tired to write…
Too many trips to the bathroom
made me too tired to write.
How to explain…
when getting up in the morning is opening your eyes to realize
that getting out of bed is more like a grand haul.
So, I have been too tired to write.
A trip to the bathroom is more like an expedition
and the shower? Having a shower…
becomes the event of the day.
I have been too tired to write.
Now, let me admit
that I have been too distracted to write.
When simple tasks become arduous, sitting in my wheelchair and catching an episode of my favourite show is fun I deserve.
Have you caught podcasts? There are so many out there. They are much fun to listen to and I can play them all the time. Having other people’s words fill my head distracts me from the arduous peculiarities of life.
And, when I have energy for something, I choose to work on the podcast that I like to call ‘a little spiritual hour’ on the Internet. From The Healing and Cancer Foundation take a look at one of our podcasts.
I have been too distracted to write. Here’s another one of my distractions.
Hi Rita! Here’s to distractions! They are so often part of what gives us the courage to carry on. Bravo! (Or is that brava?)
Nothing wrong with a little bit of distraction. Although I will admit to feeling slightly guilty about being distracted too easily. Don’t know what I think about that feeling that I deserve to take these distractions.
Rita I am so glad that in spite of it all you are still writing. This is a wonderful poem!

Thank you Wietske.
I think your portrait is sombrely beautiful. (Spellcheck is admonishing my use of ‘sombrely’…but I don’t care.)
Thanks Nancy, I had fun taking that picture. I used the camera and photo app on my laptop.
That picture of Albus was perfect at the end of the post! Strong writing…This is going to sound cheesy…but thank you for sharing your experience and your gift(s) with the world in this way.
