Truth be told...
I guess I have been feeling a little depressed.
I miss my friends.
I feel a little lonely
As the holiday
Comes and goes.
I feel exhausted
And unmotivated
And I am a little
Cranky.
Is it the emotional
Roller coaster
From writing the book
Has left me spent?
Both emotionally
And physically.
Is it the busy, busy grind
Has come to
A temporary halt?
And I rest my mind
While I can.
Or is it that I am
Just lazy?
As I sit around,
Eating rich food
And getting fat while
I pound away
Sedentarty
At the computer.
I am joining the Y
I think exercize
Should help.
I have never
Worked out
A day in my life.
I need to try
To cook more healthy foods,
I am from New Orleans
Where EVERYTHING
Is made with butter.
The obstacles
Are mounting
The reasons
For me to say
No Way
This is too hard
Always trying
To back out
Of the diffucult,
Such has been my way...for years.
But, I gotta get off
The couch.
And I think maybe I should blog about it.
How is the book coming?
ReplyDeleteI have been working out since I got sober in 1999. I am still in the best physical shape of my life but could use some mental workouts! :)
