I’m sure, we have all woken up this way once or twice in our lives….
I woke up to a Tuesday,
I’ve done this thousands of times before
But something about this wakening,
Has strained me to the core
I woke within a strangers thoughts,
The night must have stolen my mind
My head is aching, my body weak,
Rational thoughts, I cannot find
I didn’t sense me leaving,
I didn’t feel this come
How could it be, 2nd day in the week,
That I have come undone
Plan A has gone straight passed plan B,
Now to create C
To remove, foreign mind occupation,
Using strength with strategy
Where is the logic, who flipped the switch?
Who took rational away?
Who created this war, internal struggle,
And let a stranger invade my day
Not wanted to build, but the walls are up,
Reaction of defense
Defending now my peace of mind,
As protection to these events
So take a hike, you thoughts so crazed,
As I, take a breath so deep
And exhale so hard and blow you out,
Putting me, back on my feet
The Starting End 
Beautiful poem Heather. And the quote was exactly what I needed today 🙂
Hugs (I feel you also need one today)

Hello Heather
I am mesmerized by your words, they make me look within, maybe my same fate this Tuesday. I hope the family is doing much better and all is well.
Take Care 🙂

If you don’t mind I’ll publish your post under your current site. I believe others will find your words honest and find comfort in. I have held off posting to give you time spend on family matters and believe family is before anything else. I’ll post today unless I hear different from you.
Sky is blue here.
I hope the same for you. I’ve had you and your family on my mind, praying all is well. Adding more stress to your life is the last thing I want to do.
Double Hugs, M

This wonderful poem is now my daily mantra. I’m like a goose. I wake up in a new world every morning. It takes two cups of coffee for me to know if I recognize who I am or if I need to try to make a new friend. A good sip of coffee, a deep breath, and exhale. Yes, I like that. 🙂
