Poetry Bits - notes from my journal - January 2022

Small bits and pieces from my January journal--

• Sometimes I think I'd like to OCD people who have to have everything in a proper place.  What writer or artist does this anyway?
• "US: how we believed in romantic endings, the cinema swell of happiness. And now." -- Julie E. Bloemeke
  
• "...tears of joy and sadness..." 
  
• reading keeps getting kicked to the side
  
• ​listening to some of my favorite music - they are almost all love songs and many of them set my heart afloat on a sea...
  
• Madison under weather this morning
  
• emotionally sort of melancholy today trying not to slip lower
  
• Prayers... lots of them 
  
• have over 90 works pending with publishers
  
• More prayers multiple times a day...
