Worry is a long term
habit of mine.
I know I don’t have
exclusivity to the pangs
clawing inside my belly,
but I have time share rights
for long-term,
appetite-stealing vacations,
to overnight, sleep-free junkets.
Don’t have to call for reservations,
they’re always on stand-by
waiting on the next thought to book a stay.

Good one, love the punch of the ending.
A friend of mine had a favorite saying for worriers: Mind your own business, and you'll be fully occupied for the rest of your life.
Yeah, me too.
Very nice Pat! Brought a smile of recognition to my face!
Sangeet
Just chanced upon your blog. Very visual in a sense, the poetry,perhaps because of the everyday analogies.
Loved it. Will be back...
so descriptive. i worry a lot, as well. awful habit
another enjoyable work - curse that worry - like fish and houseguests - they smell after 7 days.
Yes, the specter of worry often envelopes me too. No use or sense in it but there it is...and a good thing too, if you ask me. It keeps us honest and in perspective of the important things in life, the things we can change and those which we later recognize we had no control over and were better left for the great eternal to ponder instead. Great post, Pat.
too true
