Found myself

Wondering

Reflecting

I like to be busy

I like creating

I like exploring

I like human connection

So why the hell

Am I sitting here

Alone

-Jennie Nawrocki

Trepidatious

Exciting anticipation

Will it go bad?

Will it go well?

How’s my attitude?

How’s their attitude?

Goals should align

Or at least not conflict

It’s big time

After pandemic slowdown

Pace yourself

Everything in moderation

But if you have the opportunity

Take it

Procrastinating

And excuses

Aren’t allowed

Be ready

Be quick

Be efficient

Be respectful

Don’t forget

To be thankful

-Jennie Nawrocki

Thank you for recognition

Thank you for quotes

Thank you for meets

Thank you for the greets

Thank you for the head nods

Thank you for the feye contact

Thank you for the sign language

Thank you for the colors

Thank you for my family

Thank you friends staying so long

Thank you for the travel

Thank you for the food

Thank you for believing in me

Thank you for the movies, shows, songs and words.

Thank you for listening

Thank you for reading

Thank you for everything

-Jennie Nawrocki

Years I have been writing posts and years others have said when are you going to write about something other then sadness and grief? When are you going to believe you are in control of your own destiny?

Still here nothing has changed still the same person, same problems, and same lifestyle.

I am so far in quicksand or Guantanamo Bay that I don’t know what I could grab onto to get out. What do I do?

Said my affirmations, said my prayers, talked with my family, friends and nothing is budging.

Move Jennie Move but no real estate person will return my inquiries, no new job offers unless they are controlled by the previous job.

I can’t move, but move, then stop following me every where I go. I know I certainly don’t follow you. Give me my freedom. I deserve freedom. Jennie Nawrocki deserves freedom.

-Jennie Nawrocki

It was always someone else

Someone else won

Someone else got invited

Someone else got the apartment

Someone else they were talking to

Then why are you

So surprised

To hear me say

Not me.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Another year

Was it bad?

Was it good?

Will it be bad?

Will it be good?

Fresh books

Pencils and pens

Paper so crisp

Smells of the forest

Lunches to pack

Friends to meet

Starting with that A

It’s all new so study

Be respectful

And most of all listen

Remember those notes too

For knowledge

Is power

And you have a

Front row seat

Learn

Learn

Learn

And you will

Never need to brag

-Jennie Nawrocki

Unrequited love

Is a mess

For one finds it annoying

And frustrating

While they is lonesome

And intranced

Each saying

Will this be

The day

Of realization

Will they find

Required love

Only time will tell

And lots of listening

And understanding

Even then

you need

To want

To believe

-Jennie Nawrocki

Essential

Mysterious

Eloquent

Everywhere

Flowers bloom

It the only way

For nectar

Pollan

Work together

To create

New life

Needed life

Providing oxygen

-Jennie Nawrocki

Shut up!

Don’t complain.

Then what

May I ask?

Is a peaceful protest?

-Jennie Nawrocki

Wanted to remind myself

Of my Anthropology background

But goodness gracious

Stumped and stuck

Is it easy for you?

Don’t mind saying

You are smart if it is

They say

Knowledge is power

Well knowledge can

Also be specific

Is it general knowledge

Or specific knowledge

You have?

What knowledge

Do you want to gain?

It is important

Because your

New knowledge

Adds to

Community strength

And personal satisfaction

Huh?

Maybe homework

Was good?
