New Habits 

Standard

There is a story I heard about a parent teaching there child after they had made a mistake of telling a lie to cover up something done wrong.  So the parent had the child go out to the fence and gave them a bunch of nails and told the child to hammer all the nails into the fence.  When the child was done the parent had the child take out all the nails.  After it was finished there was  barely a fence the child thought. The child asked why did you have me do that?  The parent said, ” Once someone makes the same mistake over and over again or continues to lie and the person finds out there is always something to remind them.”  The child looked at the fence it was basically gone.  The child started to realize how serious his mistake was.  The parent continued to say, ” It is more important not to lie, betray, or make mistakes otherwise the relationship accumulates bad memories and there is no more fence or defense of why that relationship is valuable or necessary, in other words no defense of keeping that relationship together and strong.”

Even I know I have made mistakes and apologize for them all the time. I realize that some of my relationships have weakened because of it. However, I have worked at remembering the things that I need to put into relationships to build them closer and strengthen a few others. In this new year when forgiveness is important there may not be many fences to mend or if there are starting now, I shall. 

Happy New Year from one like me who is making new habits to live by.

Change

Standard

a feeling

that is

somewhat two sided 

for when 

one world

became lost 

friends went

along with it

though the

up and downs

weighed didn’t 

seem to balance 

very correctly

so finding

ways to give

compassion though

nothing is the same

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Understood?

Standard

I understand 

my issues 

I understand 

my problems

I understand

most reactions

I understand 

my responsibility 

I understand 

my consequences 

though do not

understand your

conscious participation 

that you don’t

take responsibility for

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Storms All

Standard

social media 

storms all

with images

messages and

stories to tell

though actions

experienced without 

all mediums 

shows that

part of me

forgiving and gullible 

will always love

while the other

part says

what the heck

remembering tribulations 

infinite trials

challenges galore 

remind oneself 

of choices

made today

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Love Isn’t

Standard

love isn’t

careless and fickle

it grows

over time

and found

in many forms

there is 

no doubt

i have 

experienced most

even more 

fully than thought

that reciprocal 

feelings occur

with time 

and acknowledgement 

of their character 

personality and demeanor 

allowing love

to develop 

instinctively well

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Null

Standard

many married definitely 

though thoroughly left out

completely abandoned 

finding myself 

living to search

for a companion 

my friend who

most people 

have that

everyday spread

amongst interactions

however here

as the pen

leaves its ink

my companionship 

is null

-Jennie Nawrocki
