Hiatus

being thankful quotes

I found the picture above and felt that it was very appropriate for today.  I have thanked you for joining me on this journey many times and I do mean that sincerely.  I’ve been going through what seems to be one thing after another lately.  I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed.  So I am going to take a step back from my blog.  A Hiatus, if you will.  I will still be popping in from time to time to respond to comments, etc.  But other than that, you probably won’t see much of me for a while.  I seriously feel like I need some Down Time.

Penny Wilson Writes is not done!  I’ll be back.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. ❤  Penny

Weak As A Kitten

by Penny Wilson Writes, posted in Uncategorized

I’m still recovering from the flu. I’m at work today for the first time in a week and would have stayed home if I’d had the choice. Saturday night I had a fever of 102.  Sunday it was 100.  To just walk across the room took an extreme amount of effort.

But I’m better!  My fever is gone. I’m eating fine.  But I am just as weak as a kitten.  Yesterday I took a 2 hours nap and was still in bed by 8pm. I haven’t been this sick in a very long time.

I want to thank everyone that has stopped by my blog to wish me well.  It really does mean a lot to me.  I love my WordPress Family! ❤

I’m very glad that today is Friday.  I will have the weekend to rest up.  I’ll be back in the groove soon.  Thank you again, my lovelies!  I appreciate you more than you know!

Thank you for joining me on this journey. ❤ Penny

Hope

by Penny Wilson Writes, posted in Poetry

 

Some days 

Hope 

is too 
burdensome 
an idea 

Existence 
is thick
and fat

This endeavor
cumbersome
oppressive  

With clouded psyche
and trembling fingers 

I tuck  
a sliver of 
hope 
in a pocket  

Optimism 
saved away 
for tomorrow 

Belief

A piece of it 
shining 
beckoning 
to light my way

*This piece is something that I've been kicking around for a 
while. I keep coming back to it, tweaking it. I'm not sure 
that it conveys what I was trying to express, but 
regardless, I hope you enjoyed it. Penny <3
