Swift Kick Needed

This is the time of year that I dabble with denial.

I mentally rebel against the shift in weather forecasts.

I spin complaints around in my mind and dream of warmth.

I succeed in tormenting myself.

I’m participating in a harmful farce.

I’ve learned that forceful venting adds weight

to the troubled heart.

So, I give myself a swift kick in the butt and move on down the road

to recovering a positive attitude.
