Lost Afternoon

Recently, I was sat one afternoon at my computer.  My head was spinning with things to do but for some unfathomable reason I just couldn't seem to get my brain in gear.
Every time I would begin something my brain would go blank. I got up and made myself a cup of coffee hoping the break would jolt my brain back into working mode; but to no avail.
I gave up and left the work and decided to do something else instead.

However, that evening I sat down and decided to write a few lines about my absent brain but nothing, nada not even a word.

To clear my thoughts and mind I lit a candle and asked my angels to help me.

Here is the result.

Lost Afternoon

Today my brain has gone away.
Where did it go?
How could it stray?

I sit and think to no avail.
I hope this state does not prevail!
Not a memory, not a spark.
You must think it's such a lark.

To sit and let the day go by.
I wish I knew the reason why?
Not a word or phase to write.
Now my head is feeling light.

No splendiferous quotes today.
It's oh so dull, I must say!
Inner wisdom sets to flight.
Lexical, verbal words of blight.

Slowly on the minutes pass.
How long is this going to last?
Empty void of afternoon.
Full of dreary doom and gloom.

But not a word of any size,
Can I find behind my eyes.
How could my brain leave me so;
Now i'm feeling full of woe.

But I must try and find a way,
Hoping all is not astray.
There is a word of magic lore.
For my brain to restore.

But first the spell I need to cast
As the day moves forward fast.
A potion drank of caffeine true.
A strong and strange mighty brew

As the potion begins to play
All is not so dark and gray.
Bright and light are all around.
Hidden words are now unfound.

First a vowel takes to flight.
Then a noun, it's sheer delight.
Onward to a sentence break.
Eloquent letters begin to shake.

Now my brain has come home.
I hope it doesn't e'vr roam.
And leave me in a void so bare.
Sitting on my kitchen chair.

Smile


Smile though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds, in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile, through your fear and sorrow
Smile, and there'll be tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
If you'll....
Sung by Judy Garland.

For the past few days this song has been going around in my head.  Its a lovely reminder to Smile at someone today.  

Wikipedia's explanation of a Smile - A smile is a facial expression formed by flexing the muscles near both ends of the mouth.

So why do we smile ?
  • We smile at funny things.
  • We smile at babies and children.
  • We smile when we recognise someone we know.
  • We smile at the love in our life.
  • We smile when we are happy.
  • Sometimes we smile for no apparent reason.
What happens when we smile ?
  • Smiling relaxes us and people we meet.
  • Smiling helps to boost the immune system.
  • Smiling releases endorphines in the brain, helping us feel good.
  • Smiling helps to lower blood pressure. 
  • Smiling helps to relive stress.
So the evidence shows that smiling is good for us.  Ask your angels to remind you to smile, use this beautiful Gift we have all received from God. 


Let's keep doing it, smile at someone today - they may smile back.
