No apologies needed...we all have moments when we don't have enough time

Thanks Tim, I really appreciate your comment. 💖 XOXO

It hints of destinations and depots in life's struggles through everyday chores, sometimes forgotten.  

Thanks Adagio, I like that description. 💖 XOXO

Very nicely said ... and life does muddle things up at times  ... Bless and love ... .

Thanks FeNyX, I really appreciate your comment. Sometimes it can show us that there is always something more important. 💖 XOXO

Thanks PoetSpeak, I really love that. 💖 XOXO

I love this railroad/mining metaphor. I especially like the realism of "Trains rumble at the joints" because my joints are prone to clickety clacks 😄 Bravissima, Kristina❣❣ We all do what we can in life and you are in such a transitional, growth stage that you needn't apologize for the neglect you perceive but rather enjoy wholeheartedly the time you can spare for poetry ❤🌹

Thanks GW, I am really happy you liked the metaphor. It's true life can keep us very busy and sometimes it teaches us (and re-teaches) that there are even more important things than work and the day to day. But we do what we have to do. 💖 XOXO

Thanks BP, I really appreciate your comment. 💖 XOXO

Thanks Blue, I really appreciate your comment. 💖 XOXO

Sending love, hopefully all gets sorted and we get you back soon
Have a awesome new year my graveyard, werewolf loving friend

Thanks Ron, I really appreciate that. I should be around I think, possibly even checking in more often. I have had to take some time off work here and there at the moment and they are going to let me work from home more, well I will mostly be at my Mom's house so I can help her. Anyway, you made me smile and I appreciate that. 💖 XOXO

Wonderful sentiment Kristina, no need to apologize. I know many of us are busy with work and/or with holiday plans and family time, and still trying to find the time to write and comment is a lot to take on. I'm lucky enough to work from home and got two weeks vacation, and even with that it seems like the time flies.

Thank you for thinking of all of us here at DUP, we're a small tight community, and we always appreciate the love and care.
Hope the new year brings you much joy and prosperity.

Thanks Wally, I really appreciate the very thoughtful message. Like I said to Ron I guess I will be working more from home some but unfortunately that makes some things more difficult but at least they are working with me so I can deal with family issues. Anyway, I have been writing more - just have to convince myself to post them. 💖 XOXO

KX you are a beautiful soul and your emotional allegiance to the DUP family is humbly displayed with this extraordinary sublime poem. You are one of the engines that pulls this poetry train and that is coming straight from the Caboose, lol. Seriously don't fret about the little things and take care of you. You are loved here.... You have never commented on anything I have ever written and as part of this family it's kinda feeling like domestic caboose over here, LOL. WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

Thanks FF, that's a really sweet comment and I appreciate it a lot. Definitely not one of the engines though and you are not a caboose, unless you want to be at the back but we are not going to get into that. You sure are fixated on the caboose, I think there is definitely something to that. lol Thanks for the cheerful message!  💖 XOXO

Oh stop it! You have nothing to apologize for. Seriously. As awesome as the DU family is, the "real" world comes first.
Besides, if you need to apologize, then I need to apologize double! I think we can all extend each other a little grace here, right...?

Love your metaphor as well, by the way. ❤

I will stop, I take it all back because you scare me BT. :)  I am really glad you love the metaphor though and the heart makes me a little less scared. Still do I really have to re-write everything? 💖 XOXO

LOL 😆  Oops, did I let the scary bossy lady speak?! My bad.
Really, I just relate to this write so thoroughly that I had to remind you (and myself) not to be so hard on ourselves....
❤❤ more hearts and fuzzy hugs ❤❤

Whew, I feel so much better now. I will try not to be so hard on myself if you do the same. 😘 fuzzy hugs, love it - is that a Canadian thing? 💖💖💖

It is now! 🍁

Very nice poem.  We all get pulled in direction that time flies quickly.  Keep on writing.

Thanks Francisco, I really appreciate your comment. Time definitely flies even amidst all the chaos of 2020. 💖 XOXO

Jackie xoxox 🤗❤️

Thank you so much for the wonderful comment, Jackie. I always wanted a sister, or even an annoying or big brother, so it's great to have a big sis over here. I smile every time I see that.  💖 XOXO

No apologies needed as I truly understand wholeheartedly what is important that you find the time for thyself, for we all have other things in our lives to attend too for we are only human beings looking for a place to sometimes to hide away from the stress and anxiety and hustle and bustle of the world, to me mentally coming here has been a place to be able to express our feelings and emotions and thoughts and meet people who have gone through so much yet continue to stand and fight and express themselves through unspoken words from the depth of the heart and soul and mind 🙏😎 dear poetess this is well received don't be so hard on yourself poetess stay strong even through the darkness of the storms keep writing and keep your head up and stay 🙏💪👊👊👊👌

Thank you so much for the amazing comment, Stoney. You have so perfectly captured the reasons for being here. You are so right about looking for a place to sometimes hide away from the stress and anxiety and meeting people who have gone through so much. Your words are so thoughtful and beautiful. I really appreciate it so much. 💖 XOXO

Respect dear poetess and enjoy your day today and weekend 😇😁

Very nice poem, KristinaX.
✏️ I wish you a Happy 2021 ✏️

Thank you for the beautiful poem sweetheart. 😘💖🙏🏻 We're all glad that you're here with us.

Thanks Daniel, It is always such a joy to see your comments and you are certainly a beautiful gem in the mines, here deep underground. 💖 XOXO

Felt like I was watching a classic speechless film from the old days. It tastes like sandalwood and old, sweet tobacco. Loved it.

Hi Dreamboy. I love that description. Ah, the smell of sandalwood is beautiful. Thank you so much for the comment and thoughts. I am really happy you liked it! 💖 XOXO
