It’s cold and cloudy Saturday morning

And I’m at the mall doing Lida things

Which happens to be nothing today

Got my coffee beside me near the cafe

As all the tables are taken

And my notebook on my lap

Yes, I still write in notebooks from time to time

I’m reflecting on life

No matter what serious situation you are in

Someone else is dealing with worse

People don’t walk with their problem

Written on a piece of paper and stuck on their backs

So nobody knows what others are going through 

I see a small child in a stroller 

The childhood of our children is done

They are now adults, living their own lives

Sometime in the future grandchildren will come

That will be the beginning of a new era

Wow, that is a huge bun on top of that girl’s head

Standing in the coffee line

It looks like a nest sitting on her head

Must be heavy, I think to myself

These are things we do for beauty

I’m guilty of that too

Thank you for sharing my doing nothing time with me 

I find it very therapeutic
