All morning I've been thinking
I'm in "a pickle"
and
There's no helper
and
I'll need to pull myself up
"by my own boot straps."

Then, as I started typing,
I decided to look up that saying . . 
you know, the "boot strap saying."

It turns out
that saying was first intended as an insult
or joke
or jest
BECAUSE
we are not actually able 
on any level
to pull ourselves out of "trouble."

-sigh-

I have used every means possible
to lift myself
to ask for assistance
to "listen" for the answer.

The best I've got
is a "retooled" plan/path/concept.
Somehow, I'm thinking
just like all the other times
I get to "do the work"
(I like that part)
AND
It/I (we) will be blessed.

so, okay-
Here we go.

ps:  I  have boots - and ideas - and the plan of action.
SO,

Singin' Loud - Here we go . . . . . 💙
