Yesterday, I was happy and now I'm  not

Where did it go and why has it gone!

I was having so much fun dancing at the disco

The music was playing and I was moving rhythmically to the beat

My serotonin levels were way up high

Now they are low again!

I want to feel happy again instead of nothing 

All I can see infront of me is the drudge of the day


Can I feel happy again and if so how?

Perhaps a chat to a friend on the phone

No! There's no reply, maybe a yummy cake instead

Now I feel even worse how about some music!

I cant think, where has my happiness gone

I'm  getting tired maybe a quick nap will sort me out

That feels better how doing a puzzle

I'm  feeling better now and my happiness is back

I've  mastered the puzzle and found my happiness again.

The fairground has come to town and I'm so excited

My friends are coming round later and we are all going together

I can see us now munching on the candy floss and doughnuts

Hearing the screams from the ghost train and the big loop the loop

Then having a go at hook a duck or knock down the bottles


At last my friends have arrived and I'm  going to the fair

Wow I can see all the lights and hear the sounds of the fairground

Which ride shall i go on first

My friends opt for the dodgems

This is great driving around and bumping into each other

What's next i wonder I'm having so much fun

Everything is for the taking  at the happiness of the fairground

Here I am again in this queue

It doesn't  matter what time I leave or which way I go

It's always the same, there is a queue waiting for me to join

Almost as if my participation is predetermined

I have no choice and am destined to join a queue where ever I am

Slowly the queue begins to move and hope comes as I get nearer


Then everything changes as the person infront has lots of change

Oh, how I hate people with lots of change and them counting it all

Now I am going to have to wait longer, I'm trapped in this queue

I look around for an escape or distraction and there is salvation

There on the wall is a picture like no other with amazing colours

I am transfixed and mesmirised by this picture

Now patiently enjoying the queue and no longer waiting

The art of learning is sometimes never ending

Like we are trapped in a purposeful activity!

There was definately a beginning and yet, the ending seems to escape us

All we can see is the daunting road ahead

Our sense of urgency to finish Is heightened

Then failure happens as we fall and wonder why

We resume the journey patiently moving forwards


We are not alone in this though as nature follows the same pattern

The urgency to grapple with the normal

Then through trial and error to find a way forward 

Always hoping that this time will be the last

The joy that we will feel instead of disappointment

Not wanting to let us escape until we have learned the skill required

Then we are able to move forward onto the next part

Delighting in the patience we have learned along the way

There it is, I can see it, my birthday present

I'm so excited it's a bicycle

It's what I've always wanted

I cant wait to ride it and be on my bicycle

It's not fair! I have to have extra wheels on it.

What are you doing to my bicycle

I dont like it anymore with those horrible wheels

My mum says have patience and you will learn to ride


I'm riding my bike with the extra wheels!

This is so much fun and not hard at all

Why is my bike not so big anymore

It's  the same bicycle but somehow it seems smaller

Oh no! The extra wheels are being taken away

I don't  like this bicycle anymore as it wobbles about!

It feels unsafe and as though I might fall off it

Again I'm told to have patience and practice

I get on the bicycle every day and soon I'm balancing

With patience I am now able to ride my
