Well said. There is so much truth in what you've written here. You've got a firm grasp of rhyme and flow in this piece, as well. I'm not all that familiar with the format you've got here, so I'm a little uncomfortable with it, but the words ring true.

I think you must have written this poem for me. I am so far behind and I think I might catch up in the next 100 years, but I am not sure. I enjoyed reading your poem.

I enjoyed this read, it has very positive messages in your well written sentences. We do change as we get older and through experience we learn to practice gratitude and acceptance.
I love the tulip photo.
Well written. Mary

This poem reminds me why we have vacations. Just when I think I will throw in the towel I am given an opportunity to step away and take a breather. After that it's back to the salt mines.

I am at that place now. I have always felt that if I let someone down, it would not only change my life, but theirs as well. But as you stated so eloquently, the world still goes on. Great mantra to repeat when things start to wear you down.

Dear Debbie - lots of great nuggets of wisdom in this post. Loved the idea of accepting who you are as you are.....that includes the imperfections.
Nicely penned and thought provoking too.
Thanks for sharing it.

Hi Debbie,
Nice that you've allowed yourself to take a break. That's often what's needed, to help us get back on track.
Hugs,
Lois
Fear of letting others down can result in us (our) working until we drown.

I like this poem in the form of a prose. It is very straightforward. It is also, in one respect. an Essay,(to me) because of its nature--the way it is written--discussed, and written clearly. There is some kind of philosophy involved. And the writer explained her views very well. I enjoyed reading it from beginning to end. My sincere congratulations. Dom

This is like a lesson for all of us to take a break and reflect on our lives. You have made good use of language and imagery to convey your thoughts. It read smoothly and was most enjoyable. Lovely pic, too. Faye
