Mental Health Day

Unplug
and get away from the stress.

Take a walk in the woods,
or in the park
with a picnic lunch
and your pen and paper journal.

Say a prayer,
write a poem,
read the sacred scriptures,
or meditate
on the beauty of nature.

Tired of Dealing With People

I am so tired of deal with people
that I want to cry.

All morning,
I've dealt with telephone and harassers,
who obviously
want to bring my blood pressure up.

I need a mental health day,
so I've decided
to turn my cell phone off on Friday,
and take the house phone off the receiver.

I'd take a mental health day
on Thursday,
but I have a doctor's appointment
and I need the phone that day.
