Turning Sorrow to Joy

Decision-making is an asset,

we must appreciate it's power.

I realize it, and script my days,

consciously, dictated by judgment,

what I mean, let me share.

Weekend slow morning,

I worked in the garden—

great for body and mind.

Then I wanted to go,

for a neighborhood walk,

for more inspiration,

but the sun is strong,

high above the head,

the reflected heat

will aggravate,

my cold-induced headache,

so not a wise choice.

I came to my study nook,

but hormones are low,

and motivation to write is poor.

I can sure write,

but it will feel like a grind.

So, I decide to do something,

more fun, less cerebral:

photo editing,

it helps me relive the past.

and I can pair it with,

listening to soothing music.

That seems right,

our decision-making

can save the day—

and turn sorrow into joy.

We need healthy brains,

for such nurturing decisions,

so curb inflammations.
