Hi friends. Welcome and thank you for being a part of The Circle Of Freethinkers!
The theme for my writing this holiday-filled month is: The Gift of Self Love.
Today’s poem, “Right Side Of The Bed”, reminds us to take time for ourselves before anything else. This is how to feel full of vitality in life and it also allows us to give to others from an overflowing cup.
Especially during these—often chaotic—holidays, it’s critical to spend time in the morning putting your head on straight.
This is my holiday wish for you.

I awoke one morning,
And something felt off.
I wanted to rest,
But could only utter a scoff.
So I got up, checked the house,
Everything was fine,
Looked outside,
Saw clothes on the line.
Drank some coffee, piping hot.
Cooked my breakfast and ate a lot.
Read the news, as I always did.
Went to the bathroom and even put down the lid.
My glasses were on,
And the room was bright.
I checked all the boxes,
But something still not quite right.
A few hours had passed,
And I finally found,
My head was on backward!
It was turned right around.
I had tried everything,
To help me feel great,
But I missed ‘Step One’,
To put my head on straight.
So if you want to wake up,
On the right side of the bed,
You must first take the time,
To straighten your head.
Right Side Of The Bed
