Planned Breaks
Taking a break
As the year draws to a close
To breathe, decompress
To feel. Again.
This has been a busy
Crazy year
And next year maybe
Even worse!
So now’s the time
To slow things down
Before I’m forced
To speed myself up.
At 55 in 2025
I’ll be moving house
Tackling school
So much oh so much to do!
I must plan breaks
Prioritise me and family
Put aside pet passions
Learn to breathe in deep
Let go of what I can’t control
Refresh recharge take it slow
Stop hustling, bustling
As I grow old
Don’t let others dictate
Robbing me of my mind
Hold fast to what’s mine
Make each moment a lifetime
Planned breaks not work
That’s how I hope to schedule
In the coming new year
Let my soul finally unfurl!
