WHATS IN A NAME
I looked in the mirror

To see what i could see

I saw a beautiful lady 

She was staring right at me

I asked her name

She said her name was self

Self i thought to myself

What an odd name for a lady

Wishing all a Happy Month of May.
You've heard about the Monday Blues 
well this is Monday WRites  (musing on the definition here of rite, as any customary observance for eg the rite of afternoon tea).

    This is so sweet and funny, Gillena. The page you entered in the Linky gets an error message. I found this by going to your home page.

    I like the philosophical feel to your mirror quadrille, Gillena; what’s in a name, indeed! I also look in the mirror and see someone I don’t recognise, most days I wonder who that woman is.

    The hardest thing is to love ourselves, and not doing it is probably healthier than being head over heals in ourselves.
