Discipline: Getting the Job Done

Grocery shopping weather,
Sunny, cool and clear
But fatigue has set in
And irritation is here,

Still the buggy is rolled out
And the shopping list made,
The trip smooth and swift
And the cart easily loaded,

The line was long
But the people were friendly,
Smiling and chatting
While waiting for the cashier;

No mistakes on the bill
Made the check out easy,
And as for the return journey
That was quick and pleasing;

Now stowing the load
That was a bit tricky,
As the fridge is small
And the produce bulky

But eventually somehow
It all fits in,
Then on to the pantry
To finish the unpacking;

Afterwards, on to relax
And brew a cup of tea
Before cooking supper
And doing dishes mindfully,

Happy to unwind
Using simple chores as mindfulness practice
Before heading off to work
For another kind of practice.
