There’s a lot of stress going around. I hear it, I feel it, I experience it.

Whether on the large scale (geopolitical tensions, human struggles), or in the personal sense (health issues, personal challenges), there is cause for stress.

And so, aside from praying, I’m deliberately choosing to lift my spirit whenever possible.

Now, thankfully, that the nice weather is here, I’m taking more walks. I’m also back in the garden (an entire day of mulching!), which I love.

And I find myself turning off the news more often. This is just part of my personal self-help list.

With that said, today is the release date for Chicken Soup for the Soul: I Can’t Stop Laughing, in which I contributed two stories. The timing of this book, in my opinion, could not be better.

We’ve all made mistakes.

Some mistakes, unfortunately, are not easily forgotten.

As a way of dismissing my own dear mistakes, I’ve composed this poem. It appears in two new poetry anthologies: Bards Annual 2022 (Bards Initiative) and the upcoming Dear You, Poems Through the Heart (Red Penguin).

Have a great day, remember to be kind to yourself, and please subscribe to this blog…if you’re so inclined. 💜 Mary
