Shedding Light: Second Wave

My boat is heavy, weighing me down

negative thoughts, the ease of eating bad foods

weighted down with should have's, could have, need to's

throwing them over the edge, I feel lighter

Sailing to my island, that is me, rejuvanted, ready to take charge

 

This is my very late 2nd Wave - I was stuck in thinking that I had to do a long story, but re-read the instructions & saw that a poem was a choice as well - voila!

I try to watch what I eat. But that sack of potatoe chips is worse than any drug addiction a person could have. I dont do drugs or alcohol, but my hands cant stay out of that bag.

PRiscilla, you aren't 'ready to' take charge...you HAVE taken charge! You go, girl!

Truer words have never been spoken - when we take care of ourselves we thrive.

It's amazing how much our thoughts along with bad foods weigh us down without even so much as noticing it.
