Fun for the Weary

Remember the Night Rainbow

If tomorrow morning the sky falls

have clouds for breakfast

If night falls 

Use stars for streetlights

If the moon gets stuck in a tree

Cover the hole in the sky with a strawberry

If you have butterflies in your stomach

Ask them into your heart

If your heart catches in your throat

Ask a bird how she sings

If the birds forget their songs

Listen to a pebble instead

If you lose a memory

Embroider a new one to take its place

If you lose the key

Throw away the house

If the clock stops

Use your own hands to tell time

If the light goes out

Wear it around your neck and go dancing

If the bus doesn't come

Catch a fast cloud

If it's the last dance

dance backwards

If you find your socks don't match 

Stand in a flowerbed

If your shoes don't fit 

Give them to the fish in the pond

If your horse needs shoes

Let him use his wings

If the sun never shines again

Hold fireflies in your hands to keep warm

If you are afraid of the dark

Remember the night rainbow

If there is no happy ending 

make one out of cookie dough

Cooper Edens provides advice for those weary from holiday activity.

Consider his fanciful solutions and play with your own.

During the day when troubles arrive, surprise them by a turn downside up.  

If your mind misbehaves, invite it to dance.

When worries tangle in your brain, write them in your mental sand and let the next wave delete all.

If you feel sad, follow a bee's attention span.

When anger nags, tickle its tummy.

Make fears into chocolate cupcakes and celebrate. Don't forget the topping.

If you feel a regret or resentment challenge them to a foot race. You will win every time.

When you play and create, the intensity of energy and positivity increases.
