What keeps me going...

A cup of tea to soothe the nerves

A long chat with my mum

Happy Wednesday with my friends

Dinner, chats and hugs

Therapy to talk it out

And understand the past

Journaling to write it out

And challenge my rogue thoughts

Walking out in nature

The warm sun on my back

Dancing salsa at the club

My face lit by a smile

My two left feet won't keep the beat

It matters not a jot

The joy is in the trying

And spinning round a lot

Organic fruit and veggies

From a local family farm

So fresh and nourishing

A box packed full of charm

My writing course each week

And sharing who I am

Practise, feedback, reading

I hope it never ends

Weekly tea with Mary

Who always bakes something

She showers me with love

Doesn't care where I have been

I could go on for days

Listing all the good

My life is pretty sweet

And it all lifts my mood
