Yes, beautiful 😍 I particularly sensed the line β€˜Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go’ πŸƒπŸ‚

And as Jennifer Anniston was mentioned in the chat, I would recommend β€˜The Morning Show’ β€οΈπŸ‘πŸΌ I binged the series while I was ill.

Thank you for sharing this, Tanya. I found this poem confronting! Amongst other things. It's powerful.

If you have access to Sky I would highly recommend Somebody Somewhere. It's beautiful and life affirming, hilarious and heart-breaking.

Yes it all that! It really stops me in my tracks! Very much a Note To Self. Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve managed to sneak out to my favourite Danish Bakery to write for a couple of hours. Just what Sundays were made for πŸ’«πŸ€©πŸ‡©πŸ‡°

Funnily enough whilst reading the poem I was reminded of the fab classic 1999 film β€˜Office Space’ which is about a guy who gets so disenfranchised with work he just stops showing up. Also stars Jennifer Aniston, who’s always good value!

The perfect watch when you’re ill, I might re-watch it today too! πŸ˜ƒ

Get well soon! 😘

Aah, thanks Tanya! 😘

Am having a lot of fun with the AI image generator, it’s hilarious! You should see the ones that don’t get editorial approval! πŸ˜‰
