today's love poem

Talking myself out of a funk

To turn a day
From grumpy fear close to tears
Baseless anxiety
Based on not wanting to do it
Simply because it is change
(I hate to think I have become a stick in the mud)
To light hearted smiles
Takes me on a journey
I know I have to take
To be happy
It is
Learning to listen
To quiet whispers
Courage
Creating the space
In stillness
Turning to
Breathe in Breath out
Calm and ground
The thought of
“Try to see this as an adventure”
Or an opportunity
Where inner anxious knots
Give way to deep grounded breath
The inner whisper
I can do this
Then laughter and a smile
Such lightness breaks the knots
So I can love myself happy today
