Seeking

You are always seeking outward~
Looking to others
For approval
and validation
Never finding what you are looking for
and always coming up short-
at least in your eyes...
You wonder why is this so elusive-
Do you need to look somewhere else...
No,
Just look within,
Where all you need
has always been-
waiting...
for you to acknowledge it!

"Seeking" is the prompt at OSI this week.

For all of you who celebrate Thanksgiving this week, have a wonderful celebration and hopefully have time to reflect on all the Blessings in your Life!

Good advice, Patti. Always seeking the elusive. Those odds aren't very good for finding, at least before getting advice from your poet.

Happy Thanksgiving! These holidays are great for teachers unless you have to do catch-up for your work stuff.

The meal has been eaten.
The kitchen is clean.
The leftovers are stashed.
The walk has been taken.
Everyone is happy and fed and blessed.
Now I have the time to stop by.
On this Thanksgiving Day, I wanted to tell you that I am thankful for you; for this blog; for our friendship. Sending you much love, Relyn
