A Mending

Mending a rosary
I made some years ago.
The hemp cord worn and frayed and then snapped
From praying fingers
And repeated Hail Mary's and
Our Father's and Glory Be's
And the Hail Holy Queen's and the Apostle's Creeds.

Mending a rosary
Not because I need another one.
I have a collection.
My grandmother's rosaries, my father's gift,
ACTS retreat, one from my ex-wife,
And the ones I've made of knotted string
And this one of hemp cord and wood beads.

Mending a rosary
And finding a little peace and tranquility
And even a redemption.
Keeping me centered and sane
And  a daily renewing
And because the act, the praying,
The faith also mends me.

Stop living a lie!
The truth will set you free!
Stop feeding the addiction
And address the issues.
Look into the one in the mirror
Looking back at you.
Stop and just listen to him(her).
Examine and ask why (why not)?
Face your demons
And stare them down.
They don't like that.
They like it less
When you grab a hold
And don't let go
And break THEM into submission.
Not easy but possible, even probable.
Getting real is the
Only way to heal!

Self Discipline/ Food Discipline

Stop the insanity
And stay out of the ODR!
Drop a few pounds and feel better.

Perhaps even live a little longer.
Just a little self discipline
Can go a long way.

Eat to live
Not live to eat.

Sick Time Mantra

I love the Carole Young and TDC!
I love UTMB and CMC!
In an ill way
They each love me.

What better place to be sick
Than a nice little cozy infirmary
Surrounded by warm, loving, caring,
Healthcare professionals?

Why stay home
Making life miserable
For your loved ones,
Risking them to infection?

Why stress out
Your already short handed,
Overworked, underpaid,
Miserable coworkers?

Most certainly,
Why miss out on
The overtime and shift diff?
Just come to work!

Rack up the time and the pay
For a better day!
In the end it just doesn't pay
To stay home sick.

Neither does loyalty.
Truthfully, in the end,
Money talks and
The bullshit walks.

Lacey Says

Now she's spooning and she's scissoring
And she's just plain and simple
Getting down on it!

Lacey says - "It's not the dick
I'm offended to
Or even the lack of it;
It's the man attatched to it!"
