Mindful movement
Take a few deep breaths, pause just before you begin, and then examine a flower. Pay attention to each part of it. How did the petals look? Are the leaves smooth or serrated? How does it smell?

Comfort in Choice
In a world where choices often fade,
I’d choose a look that’s never dismayed.
A pair of jeans, well-worn and true,
Soft and cozy, just like the morning dew.
With a t-shirt snug against my skin,
It whispers comfort, where warmth begins.
A stylish jacket, casual grace,
Completes the ensemble, my perfect embrace.
Versatile fabric, for night or day,
In every moment, it finds a way.
With confidence blooming in every seam,
This outfit, my armor, fulfills my dream.
So let the seasons come and go,
In comfort I’ll wander, steady and slow.
For in this attire, I find my ease,
Wrapped in comfort, my soul’s gentle tease.
Echoes in the Feed
In a scroll of posts, I find my day,
Time slips away, like sand in the bay.
Lost in the feeds, I wander and roam,
Mindlessly drifting, far from my home.
With each little update, I glance and I sway,
But now I’m deciding to carve out my way.
I’ll limit the hours, be mindful and clear,
Making room for the moments I hold dear.
First Light
Bright light shines through the window so clearly.
Waking you up from deep sleep
Time to start the day now.

On Your Own Line
To face social anxiety isn’t a fight,
It’s a journey we take, not a wrong or a right.
Though it may seem daunting, it’s not all despair,
Sometimes anxiety can show us we care.
Feel the flutter, the cautious mind,
In those moments of doubt, strength you’ll find.
Embrace the jitters, let them be near,
For they can guide you, lessen your fear.
You have the power, the choice in your hand,
To keep anxiety in its own gentle land.
So take a deep breath, let your courage shine,
You are not alone; you’re on your own line.
Trust is a Gift
Trust is hard for me to share,
It’s a treasure, precious and rare.
Only a few have earned it right,
A bond that feels just like daylight.
Built on honesty, respect, and truth,
It’s a strong tie, not a sleuth.
If you hold my trust, treat it well,
For it’s a story only we can tell.
Together we can conquer and grow,
In trust, our dreams continue to flow.
Drafted by Moonlight
On a draft, she started to write,
A poem drifting in the night.
Words danced like leaves in the breeze,
Her thoughts took shape with heartfelt ease.
Dancing Among the Stars
There once was a girl named Michelle,
Whose dream was to dance, can you tell?
On the moon she’d moonwalk,
In zero-G she’d gawk,
And in starlight, she’d twirl and excel!

Height Variation
Did you know that when you wake up in the morning, you are about one centimeter taller? This is because your spine decompresses while you sleep, but during the day, gravity compresses it again.

The Whimsical Wonder
Your three words today are:
ITEM
THING
NOVELTY
In a shop of wacky dreams,
Where oddities burst at the seams,
An item sat with a silly grin,
A thing that danced, let the fun begin!
A novelty toy, red and blue,
Wiggled and jiggled like it knew,
With a honk and a wiggle, it stole the show,
This playful oddball, the star of the glow!
