When you look at that do you count the clouds you see? Does your imagination fly free? Do you see what you can see? Are you counting and having a freak out before you flee? Maybe you focus on the tree. My, there are a many questions from me.
Little by little.
Day by day.
Plenty of spittle.
A shine from spray.
One number too many.
One number too low.
One freaks out any.
One goes with the flow.
A line in the sand.
A creation of numbers.
Crawl instead of stand.
Lose many night slumbers.
All due to large.
Nope. All due to you.
You left numbers in charge.
So away you stew.
One step is easy.
5000 a chore.
500 people make you queasy.
5 is a bore.
Stuck on the zeroes.
Stuck on the high.
Too many are for heroes.
With you it won't fly.
Look at the high.
Look and then look.
You'll just die.
Curl up in your nook.
But 5 is a breeze.
10 isn't so bad.
11 won't make you sneeze.
With 16 fun can be had.
One more step ahead.
One more attendee.
One more has no dread.
One more is carefree.
A different look.
A different state.
Another chapter in a book.
Not such a debilitating state.
The high and low doesn't have to define yes or no.
Fifteen thousand steps doesn't scare me. I do it every day.
ReplyDeleteThose are almost Simpson clouds...
Yeah, easy as can be. Not that my feet like it. haha never thought of them like that.

ReplyDeleteI try to do about. 8,000 steps a day but, in reality I take each day step by step.
DeleteHmm, I don’t count clouds I just look for images as they drift away.
Step by step is the way to be. I do too many steps is all I know lol
DeleteI don't count steps but I do count the minutes until I'm off work.
ReplyDeletebetty
Yeah, I tend to count those too.
Delete100000 steps sounds easy to those who forced to do 12 by court order.
ReplyDeleteThe court order ones sure can get you
DeleteMaybe I should start counting individual naps throughout the day or grains of sand in the litter box!
ReplyDeleteThe naps would be quicker.
DeleteWas this picture from #cloudporn? Lol
ReplyDeleteNumbers can be intimidating. Public speaking in front of a select few people is very different than a speech in front of thousands. A 200 mile walk is very different than a 2 mile walk. I think it’s important to review the numbers before committing to anything, especially a walk!!
lol nope, another one.
DeleteBah, it's just talking. Nothing different about talking. Have to review and see what you can do.
That’s not true at all!! I presented last Thursday and was freaking out until I learned it was for 4 people. Anything more than 10 people deserves a mini breakdown. Lol
Deletelol you? Freak out? Never would have guessed. Bah, same words. Just more people. The more people, the less you have to pay attention to anyone.
Deletemy phone claims I have no pulse. I walk about. I just don't feel the need to carry my phone everywhere. I know if I'm lazy or not.
ReplyDeleteYep, can know that with ease. Screw the phone.
DeleteI have not counted recently. Hmmm. tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOr the next day.
DeleteJust One More Then One More Then...
ReplyDeleteStep by step progressing as planned
Numbers built up
Right from start
Happy when it comes to thousands
Hank
Bigger sure makes happy
DeleteAnd some are no longer sappy
5 people or 5000 people - I'm just as comfortable speaking in front of them.
ReplyDeleteBest way to be
DeleteSteps don't scare me but speaking in front of a large group of people does even though I am an attorney and used to do it all the time.
ReplyDeletehaha good you could at least do it.
DeleteI'm not afraid of numbers and liked math in school because there's always a correct answer and no maybe's about it.
ReplyDeleteNo maybe are had as long as you get there at your pad.
DeleteI get stage fright and can freeze up, or blank out and remember nothing about it. Done the latter twice in my life, once in school play which I acted but have no memory of performance at all and a piano recital same thing but I did well they tell me.
ReplyDeleteHey, at least you did well.
DeleteCrawl instead of stand.
ReplyDeleteLose many night slumbers...how perfect.
And yes, I do prefer to roll in the grass.
Crawling sure won't get you fast far. Roll in the grass and have a fun time.
Deleteorlin N cassie.....haz we ever men shuned we epic FAILED math at skewl.... sew any kinda any thing ta due with numberz izza bust for uz..... !! :) 3♥
ReplyDeleteWell you can at least fall back on your art.
DeleteI don't count
ReplyDeleteWell I do count
but you must know
as far as numbers
I get there...slow.
Slow and steady
DeleteAt the ready
I used to be obsessive about making sure I hit 10,000 steps each day, but stopped wearing my fit tracker about 5 months ago, so I have no clue where I'm at these days. I don't like speaking in front of crowds, even if it's a handful or a roomful. I'll freak out either way.
ReplyDeleteGood not to be super obsessive though, so maybe best it was given a heave ho. haha just a few people? Even those you know?
DeleteThe people I know just want me to shut up, I'm sure. It's public speaking that I just can't do LOL
Deletelol well throw a little public in with the people you know and then viola!
DeleteIf I have to hit 10,000 steps, it would take me 2 hours and sadly I can't do that everyday.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of you Pat. Hope all is well.
I get that by 10 most days and then maybe 90,000 more, ugg, so not fun. All is getting well once more.
DeleteAwesome cloud photo, Pat! I'm always watching the sky, because weather is fascinating. I don't like rolling in the grass: a deer might have peed on the spot, or there could be icky bugs, or maybe even a snake. I'll have to find another way to act crazy!
ReplyDeletehaha dogs don't seem to mind. But yeah, I'm with you. Any animal could have peed there. But then all rain is someones pee, so technically you are drinking it. lol
DeleteAbout 500 stitches does a snowflake take
ReplyDelete5,000 or 50,000 will a quilt make
Both are fun and make memories
One just takes lots longer... Geez!!!
haha a lot longer indeed
DeleteBut you get many done at your feed
I don't like big crowds if that counts. Unless it's a big crowd of animals then I don't mind so much.
ReplyDeleteDepends on the animal though
DeleteIt's the bloody crows that get me, thousands of the feckers!
ReplyDeleteDo they crap all over? blah.
DeleteI love looking at clouds and could do it for hours. :) As for speaking in front of crowds- it depends on my mood, the crowd, and what I am speaking about.
ReplyDelete~Jess
What one is speaking about sure can be key.
DeleteI guess I need to go crazy and roll in the grass cause I sometimes freak out at the numbers:)
ReplyDeleteHope things are slowing down at your bay.
haha just make sure you get clean grass. Almost slowing down, then poop machines tomorrow, so will have to stay almost.
Delete6000 steps for me these days , alas. In my hey day I ran 6 miles a day which is 32,000.
ReplyDeleteStill not bad, but yeah, 32,000 beats 6000.
DeleteI don't count steps but usually walk a mile each day. Clouds look like different things to me. Animals, faces, snow, mountains. Talking in front of people is not my favorite thing to do, but I will, if it's important.
ReplyDeleteYeah, clouds can look like a whole bunch of different things indeed
DeleteCount the clouds? And what cat??? I think I'm lost...
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, you wouldn't be the first lol
DeleteSometimes I think it is easier to talk in front of a large audience than to carry on conversations with only a few! Thanks for being such a loyal commenter on my poems over the years!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, can be easier when none are pestering you. Always about at our sea, mostly.
