It is up to You

Standard

We have seen May flowers

Celebrated our Mother’s

The lion and lamb of Spring has sowed flowers and green

Farmers notice seedlings

Students study for their final exams

Seasons shows have ended some to be only reruns from now on

Blockbuster weekend of cinematic delights is next weekend

As well as

Remembering those who fought for us

So why is the anticipation of summer such a mystery

We just don’t know government plans yet

Do you?

Or are you just going ahead like it is every other summer

One thing for sure the unpredictability

Could only count on

You!

Design your summer for WE THE PEOPLE design our government

What do you want America to look like in September?

Mothers know

Standard

What do you do if you have something in your mouth but can’t spit it out because of the social norms?

What do you do you when the recipe calls for something and you don’t have it?

What do you do when ok means that’s done something else please!

What do you do if you can’t get a stain out?

What do you do when you slice your leg the first time shaving?

I am sure there are several more and that is why we celebrate mothers today.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Independence

Standard

How can we expect a president to negotiate and sympathize with Ukraine, if Trump wants to annex Canada and use military actions to take control of Greenland?

Is there no acknowledgment of an independent state, guess not that is why Trump doesn’t believe in the constitution at this point, does the Declaration of Independence mean nothing to Trump?

For fighting from freedom from a sovereign nation just to take another’s nations freedom.

Trump crowning himself Pope is the equivalent to Napoleon crowning himself emperor.

Trump doesn’t believe in the constitution or religious tradition, Trump believes he has a gold finger.

Your dream, My Nightmare.

Standard

Had a nightmare agonizing over giving a note saying I apologize for saying the whole story correctly, about what I can’t remember. So I thought the worst about what I did not properly say at first. It could be anything but I know you would think the worst of me afterwards.

The talk shows already know and have said Freaky Friday occurred and I have been kicked off labeled as inept and not a winner. Before it was at least one show that was sympathetic now the trifecta of the worst of the worst has occurred.

When you know that turning point in your life that the last gleam of hope has been extinguished this was that week.

Bye 👋 it is only further down the drain from here in Guantanamo Bays solitary confinement or worse.

I know some of you are thinking she is being overly dramatic and milking the situation but I am serious and just made a whole bunch of humans laugh just like when they saw my nightmare, to them it was the ultimate dream that they had been waiting for.

This is their confirmation and evidence of the punishment they have had for me from the beginning and others who had just heard.

It is easier to lose respect than gain respect.

Can I get Off the Roller Coaster?

Standard

You have seen me go through all the stages of grief.

I miss my past life.

I miss my family and friends.

I miss being able to talk freely.

I miss my old career.

I miss my independence.

I don’t know how to accept such nothingness.

I don’t know how to accept a world of lies and gaslighting.

I don’t know how to accept I can’t talk about my feelings or myself anymore.

I don’t know how to accept other humans I don’t know or could care less about me who are happily in my head and control of my body.

I don’t know how to accept this extremely toxic political climate.

I am not this or that person and humans are upset about that.

I am not as happy and people are upset at that.

I am not a human shield.

I am not traveling like I used to.

I am not understanding how I could be steady now.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Yeah, I’m definitely Thankful.

Standard

Lent is over

Christ has risen

I ate salad and tons of candy

Balances it out don’t ya think?

Either way

Happy Easter

And our next major holiday isn’t until Memorial Day.

We remembered Jesus because he died for our sins.

We remember soldiers because they died protecting our freedom.

The least we can do is say thanks!

There is so much to be thankful for.

The Wind
by Robert Lewis Stevenson

I grew up with this poetry

Paling in comparison

But still a dream

That one day I could write about a tree

That would be such a commotion

That a simple team

Within every degree

Would have the passion

Of wind and a sunbeam

In endless glory

Bring motion

To beauty billowing through its seam

-Jennie Nawrocki

Impersonable

Standard

My heart at times seems frozen or black.

My questions may seem blunt or to the point.

I may give lots of background or many explanations before I get to the meaning of the story.

I may overuse small talk.

I may ask for the triggers or motivation.

I may simply ask why.

Or want to see the data.

Someone once said never jump to conclusions or assume.

Never judge for you haven’t walked in their shoes.

I may have been bitten and maybe twice shy regardless what that means.

And may not divulge my heart easily.

I may have stepped away from social media.

However and extremely importantly I still believe that we should live as a community that relies on each other.

Divided is unstable.

So become strong become resilient but always stand by your number 1, wingman, sidekick, Lenny and Squiggy, partner, or teammate.

Even if you don’t have beers together.

Timing

Standard

They say it is all about the timing

How you proceed

How you stall

How you sustain

Do you react faster than a snake

Or slower than a snail

Procrastination is not good timing

Neither is not knowing the room

Be aware but be relaxed and ready

For you never know when

Your time is called

Unless you are observant in all the right places

-Jennie Nawrocki

March

Standard

It roars like a lion

So mad with winter

Wind, rains leave the harsh cold behind

Like a person shedding their outerwear

It just keeps forging barriers

To grow budding flowers and leaves

Soon to make canopies of shade

Enriching our world with fragrances

We soon forget about staying inside from the elements

To flourish and gather together in the basque of the sun

Those warm rays of solar power

Envelope our soul

That we just say Ahh!

We missed you so spring

-Jennie Nawrocki
