"Put Somemthing In"

Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-gumble song,
Whistle through comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been done before"

I know you all are thinking that I've lost it.

Yesterday was "one of those days" I just have to share and tell you why I posted this. I've been stressing out big time - a lot of it was self induced. Yesterday Julia and were getting ready to leave for a "celebration of life" for our friend who was killed in a car accident last weekend and my sister called and said my dad was having some major emotional problems. My mom had taken dad to the doctor at the insistence of a wonderful neighbor who was actually afraid my dad was going to commit suicide. Anyway, with this weighing on my mind and the sadness of the friend's funeral, I began to cry and cry at the funeral and couldn't quit. Luckily Julia was with me and helped me calm down.

Anyway, when I got home, I called my sister back and she and I and my other sister spent hours on the phone talking with mom and dad and the neighbor etc. Long story short, it appears that my dad was having anxiety attacks and compulsive obsessive disorder type of behavior. The doctor did prescribe some antidepressants. My sister who is a nurse talked with dad for over an hour. I called up there today and dad almost seemed like a different person already. He had been taking care of hogs for a neighbor and just decided that he couldn't handle that anymore and I believe that decision along with the admission that something was going on with him, has already made a huge difference with him.

So, anyway, getting back to the poem - I was still stressing out this afternoon and I pulled the program from yesterday's funeral service out of my purse and this little poem was in the program. It really puts things in perspective for me.

Just thought I would share it with all of my great friends I have here.

Take care and keep safe!
