When My Alarm didn't ring this morning


This post is written in response to Blogchatter Bloghop prompt for the week 6-12th December 2022

Alarm didn't ring this morning 
Was late for B'fast 
Rude to son, signing progress report
dashed to office, missed sunrise meet
Pulled up by boss, returned to chair sour faced
scolded a junior, impatient with a visitor
A day that continued in same strain
a day best forgotten from dawn to dusk
All because, the alarm didn't ring!

New Year resolutions

 The prompt of Blogchatter under their Bloghop series for the week 29th November- December 5th 2022 was "Are resolutions still valid?"








Any use of new year resolutions? 

are resolutions still valid you ask? 

wait a minute, what has period to do with it? 

It is as valid or as invalid as it used to be!  


People laugh, poke fun , have a cheshire smile on face 

say, new year resolutions are meant to be broken  

yet resolutions help you till such time they are broken! 

true for some it's 6 to 8 months, for others just a week or month 

yet how will you know your resolve, your  willpower 

if you haven't tested  or started in the first place? 


So go ahead make resolutions, monitor them

give them a chance- better still, have them at any time of year

when passion, drive seems to be  at its peak 

share with a friend, spouse, soulmate

who will support, cajole, reprimand

anything it takes  to see you succeed!  


After all, "The journey of a thousand miles 

begins with one step"!
