Ode to Dr. Pepper

M.A.D. Works

What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?

Oh sweet nectar of the Gods,
You bubble and fizz like a symphony,
In a world filled with colas,
You stand out with your unique taste.
With 23 flavors in every sip,
You tantalize my taste buds,
From the first refreshing gulp,
To the last lingering drop.
You’re a perfect blend of sweet and spice,
A refreshing burst of cherry and vanilla,
Your caramel notes dance on my tongue,
Leaving me craving for more.
You’ve been around for over a century,
A timeless classic that never gets old,
You’ve survived wars and depressions,
A true icon, a legend to behold.
From Elvis to Ferris Bueller,
You’ve been featured in pop culture,
A constant companion in every occasion,
A drink that brings people together.
Oh Dr. Pepper, you’re more than a soda,
You’re a symbol of joy and happiness,
A refreshing reminder to enjoy the little things,
In a world that’s always in a rush.
So here’s to you, my beloved drink,
My go-to when I need a pick-me-up,
You’ll always hold a special place in my heart,
Oh Dr. Pepper, you’re simply the best.

Man with a Pot

Three Things Challenge #M719

Man with a Pot

There once was a man with a pot,
Who always wore a stylish bowtie and top hat,
His loyal and loving pet,
Would often get wet,
From all the droplets the pot splashed on the cat!

Good Life

M.A.D. Works

What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

Many people strive to live a good life. The combination of critical elements that contribute to overall well-being and happiness is essential for achieving this aspiration. I believe that living a good life includes mental well-being, strong relationships, personal growth, and fulfilling work.

Mental well-being is not just important, it’s a gateway to a fulfilling life. Prioritizing our mental health allows us to not just guide life’s challenges but to conquer them with resilience and grace, leading us to a life of contentment and balance.

Nurturing strong relationships with supportive friends and family members is another vital aspect of living a good life. Building trust, fostering open communication, and surrounding ourselves with positive influences provide a strong support system contributing to our happiness and well-being.

Personal growth is an ongoing journey that adds depth and meaning to our lives. Setting and working towards goals, continuously learning and seeking self-improvement, and embracing new experiences and challenges are essential for personal development and fulfillment.

Lastly, finding fulfilling work that aligns with our values and interests, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and feeling a sense of purpose and contribution in our professional lives are not just integral, they are the keys to a satisfying life. They are the fuel that ignites our passion and drives us toward a life of fulfillment.

Silence

M.A.D. Works
Silence answers the best.

Silence has always held a special place in my life. It is in those quiet moments that I find solace. I feel that the power of silence lies in its ability to give me the space to recharge and confront the whirlwind of thoughts and emotions swirling within me.

There are numerous benefits to embracing silence. It provides an opportunity to seek inner peace and gain clarity. I find it to be incredibly replenishing and beneficial, especially in a world where noise and distractions are constant. Amid the hustle and bustle of daily life, moments of silence offer a way to recharge and realign.

Embracing silence allows me to reflect, focus, and discover a sense of tranquility amidst the cacophony of modern existence. It’s a time to center myself, gather my thoughts, and find a renewed sense of balance and composure.

Who do I spend the most time with?

Who do you spend the most time with?

The person I spent the most time with is my niece. She is still young enough where is likes to hang out with her Auntie and of course I take advantage of it. Both of us enjoy creating art and that is what we do when we are together.

We often spend our time drawing and coloring. Sometimes we choose a theme for our art, such as animals, nature, or even our favorite cartoon characters. My niece loves using colorful markers and glitter, and I enjoy introducing her to different art techniques and materials. It’s always a fun and positive experience when we get creative together.

Name Change ?

M.A.D. Works

If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?

I find this question interesting because I have a distinct inner b*tch that I’ve given the name Victoria. She embodies qualities such as feistiness, stubbornness, and is the opposite what I normally am. Whenever she emerges, it can lead to either an enjoyable or challenging experience, depending on her mood.

Inner B*tch

M.A.D. Works

In the workplace, it’s important to be kind

But sometimes, your inner b*tch wants to unwind

She’s sassy and fierce, ready to speak her mind

But in a professional setting, she must be confined

–

She may want to snap at a rude coworker

Or tell off a boss who’s a micromanager

But instead, she must bite her tongue

And keep her emotions in check, for the work to be done

–

It’s not easy to keep her in line

When all she wants to do is shine

But in the end, it’s for the best

To keep her inner b*tch at rest

–

So take a deep breath and count to ten

Before letting her out to play again

For in the workplace, it’s important to be kind

And keep your inner b*tch in check, for peace of mind.

International Corgi Day!

M.A.D. Works

In the spirt of International Corgi Day. I have decieded to create a limerick to help celebrate them.

–

There once were some Corgis so fair,
With fluffy coats and a playful air,
Their legs were quite short,
But they’d always cavort,
Bringing joy with every wag and stare!

Favorite Childhood books

M.A.D. Works

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

I remember “The Babysitters Club” by Ann M. Martin as my favorite book from childhood. This series was special to me because it revolved around a group of friends who started a babysitting business together. I loved how each book was filled with fun adventures and valuable life lessons. The characters felt so relatable, and I always looked forward to reading about their escapades.

My favorite character was Mary Anne, and I admired her gentle and caring nature. The stories taught me about friendship, responsibility, and problem-solving in a way that was entertaining and engaging. Overall, it was a series that left a lasting impression on me and one that I fondly remember to this day.

Books

List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

Eat, Pray, Love had a significant impact on me because it’s a story of self-discovery and finding inner peace. I resonated with the author’s journey of seeking happiness and fulfillment from different cultures and perspectives.

The Help left a lasting impression on me due to its powerful portrayal of racial injustice and the strength of female solidarity. The characters’ resilience and bravery in the face of adversity deeply moved me.

Nineteen Minutes made an impact on me because of its thought-provoking exploration of a school shooting and its aftermath. The way the novel delved into the complexities of human emotions and the consequences of bullying and isolation left me contemplating its themes long after I finished reading.

Safe Space

M.A.D. Works

In a safe space, we find peace and grace,

Where judgment and fear have no place.

A haven where hearts can open wide,

And souls can freely dance and glide.

In this sanctuary, we’re free to be,

No masks, no pretense, just you and me.

A refuge from the storms outside,

Where love and acceptance will abide.

In a safe space, we can heal and grow,

Embracing our truth, letting our light show.

With kindness as our guiding star,

We find belonging, no matter who we are.

So let’s create safe spaces, far and near,

Where everyone’s worth is crystal clear.

In these havens, let love embrace,

And together, we’ll thrive in safe space.
