Ahhhhh. Ok. Makes sense. So there's this thread of sanity you're committing to keep regardless of shifting sands. ~ Maureen G
Shifting seasonal sands
from ghosts and ghouls
to football playoffs
to turkey, pumpkin pie,
pink salad, date nut cake.
Parties through December
daily interspersed with gifts of food.
Families gathered to compete
who can make the richest treats,
who persuades you to eat more of theirs.
New Years brings old habits
that haunt the table of goodies
to scare away reused resolutions.
New year brings commitments
to weigh and pay, to walk, to move.
Valentines shatter any leftover strength.
But the path can be transversed with grace
when you commit to sanity, to abstinence,
to wise eating one day at a time
remembering that Thanksgiving
is...a Thursday.
