Distinct: Food for Body and Mind

After the effort,
Some pain
And insomnia again,
Which made for a challenging day

But somehow found
The strength to get around,
To pick up some needed tax forms
And check out a new grocery store.

What a great pleasure
To be able to go out on such a sunny day
And find a grocer so close by,
With reasonable prices to pay;

Purchased some fruit
And could not stop
At one plum,
As the big red one tasted so good!

What a refreshing change,
From winter time fare,
A break from endless stew
Is in order soon.

And now don’t have to ration
As easily accessible portions
On sale just down the street
Whenever I crave a treat

Twill spare my aching arthritic feet
From the thirty minute treks
I’ve had to endure
For almost seven years;

And just in time to,
As this pain has been worsening
But hopefully only because
My circulation is improving
Due to the stretching exercises I’ve been doing.
