Happy Drops In The Midst Of Madness...

Just thinking about all those little positive "sound bites"
of clever, warm, thoughtful, reminders of how to deal with life.

In other words "Happy Drops".

And how when you're faced with a situation (read crisis, if not madness)
They just don''t cut it.

It's the hard yards, and you don't get the luxury of applying platitudes,
and an "over positive mind set",  to change the inevitable grinding up-hill path.

Wish it was easy but often it's like milling flour,
some things are going to get crushed.

Often necessary, but not pleasant.

Another T Shirt...

Easier said than done...
Often we're so used to carrying stuff around
 and dealing with things in the same old ways.

And as much as it's up to the individual in the long run,
 I really don't think it's possible to do it without support. 

Rozie ordered a drink, she fancied something to sip slowly,
she decided on a "Sweet Longing".
It was a mix of patience with a dash of hope,
poured slowly over ice.

Clari "Tea"...

The drink for when you want to clearly understand a situation...
Best taken on it's own, to avoid Calami "Tea".

Rozie wondered...

Sometimes people said things like "he was too grateful",
like it was some sort of insult or accusation.
It sounded as though the grateful person
 was going to spend all their time
 grovelling to, or sucking up to the person
who had done them some sort of kindness or favour.
A kind of  discreet division
where some people are one step down, and other people can
extend some sort of kindness and expect a lifetime of loyalty or debt.

Rozie didn't think that had much to do with gratefulness.
To her it sounded more like a class system.

Being Grateful...

Even in the most peaceful surroundings the ungrateful heart finds trouble.
Even in the most troublesome surroundings the grateful heart finds peace."

Sinceri 'Tea'...

Simple, but not always available...

Singulari 'Tea'...

The favourite Tea of 'Maiden Aunts'...

Empty words...

Rozie thought about how beautiful and meaningful,
and important words can sound...
She realised that sometimes they are rather like bubbles,
all amazing and fascinating while they're floating around,
 but suddenly they go pop,
 and there's nothing there.
