Today is August 12, 2016. I have a feeliing that this day's submissions will carry a unifying theme.
Asleep then annoyed at the thunderstorm waking me Pissed off but pleased that I have a day off and can go back to sleep Idle and irked that the reason for my day off is the Queen's birthday/Mother's Day Happy then homesick thinking about my own mother and grandmother far away Confused then concerned at the number of "are you okay?" messages Curious then incredulous as I see the news: Two bombs exploded yards from my street One person dead At least seven injured. I realise what the thunderstorm was and I am relieved and embarrassed Shaken and upset I message frantically to my friends and family back home Don't worry, I am fine! xx I send messages to my friends here They are fine too - marked "safe" by Facebook A moment of shock, then silent reflection. The acknowledgement of grief I'm pessimistic about politics I'm hopeful for humanity and thankful for the mother in us all How are you feeling today?
