Yes, beautiful ๐Ÿ˜ I particularly sensed the line โ€˜Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let goโ€™ ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ‚

And as Jennifer Anniston was mentioned in the chat, I would recommend โ€˜The Morning Showโ€™ โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ 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. Iโ€™ve managed to sneak out to my favourite Danish Bakery to write for a couple of hours. Just what Sundays were made for ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ

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

The perfect watch when youโ€™re ill, I might re-watch it today too! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Get well soon! ๐Ÿ˜˜

Aah, thanks Tanya! ๐Ÿ˜˜

Am having a lot of fun with the AI image generator, itโ€™s hilarious! You should see the ones that donโ€™t get editorial approval! ๐Ÿ˜‰
