Has anybody seen my happiness and joy?

[sirhugs]

I know that i had it in my pocket. there must be a hole. Perhaps the plot bunnies have been into my closet?

 

[MrPixel]

Probably the same place as my get-up-and-go.

That's almost a poem, maybe we should get @SmilingLez or @SamanthaBehgs in here to help you finish it.

Hope you find it soon though.

 

[AchtungNight]

Give it time. Read a few stories you enjoy. It usually works for me.

I agree with Fairy. Could be a nice poem and I too, hope you find your happiness and joy!

They just had to run a "stand up for cancer" moment during the world series.

Love challenges. If only dialogue would be this easy.

I kept it in my
pocket; felt the empty seam.
A sly hole, of course.
Plot bunnies munched through my coat,
nesting stories in the dark.

Not always easy to do, but sometimes you just have to make some more.

 

[Carson19820]

I found it. It's in the dumpster along with my patience and sympathy.

This may not help Purple Mountains

You’re a fighter and survivor, sirhugs. Doesn’t mean it’s easy or pleasant, but don’t forget to give yourself a pat on the back for all you’ve battled through.

I think yours went out with mine. I must have lost it somewhere between my front door and the bus.

Well....I'm allready down with cancer and standing is a hard task at times....

Joy and Happiness

I swear I had them once,
joy and happiness, small as marbles,
bright as the buttons on a child’s coat.
I kept them in my pocket,
safe from weather and worry.

There must be a hole.
Something quiet gave way,
and they slipped out between one sigh and the next.
Now I walk, hands in empty cloth,
feeling only the ghost of warmth they left behind.

Perhaps the plot bunnies took them,
those restless little dreamers,
dragging my joy into their paper burrows,
chewing at the edges of what I meant to keep.

I check my pockets again,
just in case they find their way home,
a laugh in the lining,
a smile caught on a thread.

I love this last stanza

 

[Nightaelf]

I love this last stanza

It's a kind of a mantra I keep telling myself.
I refuse to believe that life keeps being all the time.
There is always a thread of positive left somewhere.

contemplating removing all my Lit presence for the second time in the last few days.
Why?
Don't know.
It wouldn't help
Might even hurt
if more hurt is possible
but feel like I'm just spinning my wheels here
and the more my wheels spin, the more the depression becomes anxiety becomes depression

I know that this is just a form of pseudo-suicide, so that I should not do it and take another step in that direction.
Lit is one of my few pleasures left in my pathetic life.

Park those thoughts, they don't bring you anything. I’ve been where you are and sometimes I get there again.

Don't cut of what brings you Joy, just pause it if it gets too much.

In the song by Ne-Yo, "Time of Our Lives", Pitbull weighs in with:

"Every day above ground is a great day. Remember that!"


So, just wake up, and have another great day!

there is no joy. perhaps the ploy bunnies ate it. Or what i thought was the sound of a pebble falling into the pit of despair was really my joy.
