RESOLUTION TIME AGAIN.” a poem, a.k.a.: “Being KIND To Yourself.” Thursday: December 26, 2019

[Limerick: Play with your friends outside / And cherish your lovers; don’t hide / From the wind and rain / And our health we’ll maintain / Take a nice walk; skip the ride.]

A Healthy Lifestyle, a Healthy Lifestyle, (please) remember, it can never be,

Spending too much time   in enclosures   looking at screens   and TV.

So remember:    More on foot    and    Less in cars;

More    outside    and   Less   in bars,  /   Even CoffeeBars.   Sure, they’re fine IF YOU,

WILL NOT MAKE A HABIT    of Ye Ol’ Caffeine ated  Brew, 

For, eating a variety of natural, real food,

Is good for your body,  so it will not brood,

And lack the energy it needs to live;   Outdoor activity   YES,  we must give,

Ourselves   to keep good circulation,     With lots of water    to avoid   dehydration;

Not enough water is stressful   and caffeine won’t supply,

The Living Waters.   Don’t ask me why,

All liquids simply will not supply us well,

With ALL the necessary, hydrating fluids, and we can easily tell,

This from a nation of people who,

Are seen at hospitals   needing  I. V.  Drips  to,

Just keep going.   Well,  RAISE YOUR HAND,

WITH A GLASS OF WATER;  then, you’ll understand,

That Healthy Lifestyles AREN’T THAT TOUGH,

But  sunshine, fresh air and water     YOU NEED ENOUGH,

You know:   a KIND supply, yes, every day.

We can do this, and then we’ll lose the gray,

Complexions that we see all around,

Our sad towns;

Let’s touch the ground           And sniff the air  like healthy deer,

Running and jumping   both far and near.

SO, LET’S ALL GET OUTSIDE   AND DO SOME    K I N D, active   THINGS,

And, on top of it all, restful sleep this simple plan brings,

But  YOU GOTTA DO IT,  not just read and plan,

But   ACTUALLY OPEN THE DOOR      and “work on” your tan.  

2020:  OUR BEST YEAR YET;  

A life of continuing health,    I’m sure we can all get.
