My blood pressure escalated Upon sight of the messy living room. There was clutter everywhere, Even on the dining table. The bedrooms weren't spared at all. I went to the bathroom, I slid and hit the floor... What's a ball doing inside the bathroom? My eyebrows curled....but, I refused to give in to the situation. With a sigh, I went to the kitchen To get coffee and a sandwich, With marmalade and cheese.... As I opened the fridge,  an avalanche Of cheese, butter and bread Fell on my feet. I was really upset by now, but, I decided to print some recipes, instead I loaded some paper into the paper tray, But got stuck all the way.  Just as I suspected.... Carefully, I pulled out underneath the tray, A ball pen, a pencil, and some sticks of crayolas. Too much to take at this early hour, I told myself. I sat on the sofa, smiled as I saw a photo of Myself, with five beautiful girls.....sweet little angels.... I imagined their faces,  wearing naughty smiles, Their antics,  and their tactics, as well, their mischief... I thought that, ...........life is too short, time is fleeting............ ...........also, I'm not getting any younger............. ...........precious moments rarely happen twice....... ...........they'll be young ladies soon enough........ ...........the house would be too neat by then........ ...........no more cookie crumbs on the carpet........ ...........no more scattered toys and books on the floor...... ...........no more writings on the wall, ...........disastrous games and all.......... I miss my five granddaughters already....... Oh, what the heck!   I sat back and relaxed Amidst the mess and clutter.....I closed my eyes, Savoring moments of pleasure, past and present, On a stressful day, like today........

My Carpe Diem........
