Yes, we do have snow!
I’m guessing we have about 2 inches of the white stuff with more coming down. Temperatures below freezing.
Should*
Should echoes
bang hard against the wall
of his brain
Must resounds
repeatedly begging
compliance
Words instilled
to sculpt
his soul
to fit
their mold
* a short little poem about what Albert Ellis calls “musterbating” and “shoulding on yourself”

Above is a link to musturbation. I have no idea why it didn’t show before.

Is that a pussy willow upon which that snow sits? It’s been years since I’ve seen one. SO sweet, soft and fuzzy.
Stay warm.
I have a dear friend who taught me not to ‘should on myself’ — hadn’t heard of musterbating, but I like the concept. Great poem, Bill!
I didn’t find a link, but I googled it to learn about those words which were unfamiliar to me…. and now your poem makes becomes very clear to me. Living a life of “musts” & “shoulds” isn’t the way to enjoy life!
And I love the picture!
I like to leave the musts and should to regulatory documents… We can’t even find the pussy willow bushes! Hope you stay warm and safe!
To musterbate or not to musterbate, that is the question. Should I or shouldn’t I?
Beautiful photo!
Good advice poem!
I have to be careful the should’s and must’s and just let my soul be free.
I don’t see the link you mentioned. Hmm…maybe I’ve gone blonde…er…ah…I mean blind.
HUGS!!!
I know I have a friend who always tells me not to should on myself.
So you do have snow.
Love the photo. Love the poem. Great article about masturbation. I don’t know what I would have done if I had seen the rat sitting on the shoulder of a co-passenger.
RYC: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the sweet comment you left on my post about “COLORS”.
