This week LindaGHill has given us the word Resolution for our Stream of Consciousness Saturday. The last one for 2017
Rules and Pingback here
Resolution, you will never keep
Escape your head and run the street
Seldom do they last for long
Ousted like a forgotten song
Lots of good intentions end this way
Undone, forgotten within the day.
Time and time and time again
Intentions just don’t last the game.
Onwards as the year comes to an end
New Year Resolutions we bend.

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

Oh this is so true sis! 💜
I know I am guilty!!
Aren’t we all!!!
So very true. I try to set goals I can take steps toward meeting, instead of vague resolutions. Though sometimes these get bent, too. 🙂
Yes they do , Happy New Year 💜
Very nice! Excellent resolution poem!
Thanks Happy New Year 💜
I half way considered doing something similar – one word per letter r.e.s.o.l.u.t.i.o.n but that was too hard for me and you wrote sentences! Wonderful as always!! Plus a learned a new term … Acrostic. Banner day!!
Glad you liked the poem, I really enjoy writing Acrostic poems! Your one word a letter sounds hard!! Happy New Year 💜💜 😀
