Anxiety strikes -
No 
Anxiety creeps
Slipping under smooth skin
Slithering into hearts, and mind
Until, with full force
Anxiety strikes
Squashing love and fun of Christmas joy

Slowly a wall goes up
What is this creep that
plugs on while sludge grows thicker
~ tiredness, exhaustion …………

Stop.
Before anxiety strikes.
Be creative for your life.
Listen to tired exhaustion.
Settle into a special time to rest.
The body has messages.
Errands will wait.
Anxiety does not.
Arise and move forward with grace and a smile.
Joy and laughter are waiting on the other side.

“Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, 
but coaxed down-stairs one step at a time.”
~ Mark Twain
