What’s your go-to comfort food?

My favorite comfort food is cheesecake. I love the smooth texture and sweet taste of a well-made cheesecake. Whether it’s the classic New York style or a fun flavor like strawberry or salted caramel, I always go for a slice when I want to treat myself and feel relaxed.

The Wild Drummers of Dumbump

Your three words today are:
DRUM
DUMB
DUMP

In a land where the drummers go thump,
Lived a silly old guy who was known as Dumbump.
He danced with abandon, making quite the loud drum,
While friends all around laughed and said, “What a bum!”

One day in a park, he found a big dump,
Full of treasures and junk—a real funky lump.
He gathered up trinkets, a hat, and a pump,
And said, “Watch me play on this garbage-filled rump!”

So they took to the streets, making music so wild,
With drums made of garbage, they sang like a child.
Drum, Dumb, and Dump—what a trio to see,
In a world full of laughter, they were wild and free!

Poetry

Journey of Positivity

Beautiful images dance in our minds.
Whispers of dreams that time cannot erase
That can put us in all types of binds
Of all the negativity, we need to replace
Aligned with those of a positive kind.
So, we can choose to live our lives with grace.
We’ll find the strength to rise and embrace.
With open hearts, we’ll journey through this space.

The Stormy Storefront

Your three words today are:
SORRY
STORE
STORM

In a store, a sign read “Sorry,”
As winds blew in quite a flurry.
The storm raged outside,
While folks tried to hide,
Yet laughter was heard in the hurry.

Under the Moonlight

Beneath the moonlight
Swaying to their own sweet tune.
Love is in the air.
All they see is each other.
Tonight, they’ll have no worries.

Poetry

Sky Therapy

The crystal clear blue sky is tantalizing

Daring us to go out and enjoy the day away

To see the beautiful scenery around you, hypnotizing

So that your worries float away

let your mind drift and start fantasizing

about a life with no stress and worries

your mind begins to calm down, stablizing

In a peaceful state of mind you stay,  

As dreams of joy are truly mesmerizing.
