Uncaptured Dragonfly

Today I came upon a black and white dragonfly
I couldn't capture
on film.
I saw black birds on a wire
I got 3 errands done on a lunch hour,
lunch, 5 bags of potato sticks, grape juice
and back to work on time
with minutes to spare
and my day is not over with yet.
I did 2 good deeds
One was questioned
so I said,
"Never again"
but you know I will.
Trying my best to be nicer to folks
especially the working class;
those that help me,
Not everything goes right in my life
or according to my plans,
but today was a good day.
I am not stressed as I was Saturday.
I am just letting things be
I will be seeing both my best friends this weekend
and family.
I will be stressed on Thursday!
But Thursday is another day
and like Scarlett O'Hara,
I will think of that tomorrow.
This weekend will be like Christmas in July for me
One busy moment of a lifetime followed by another
time well spent with friends and family.
I'll catch dragonflies another day.

Thank you for pointing me to this Becky. I've never seen a black and white dragonfly - it must have been something quite special. The important thing is that you saw it, and it inspired you. Wonderful!

I'd never seen one either. Yes, it was something quite special. I actually captured it on my camera the next day. I'll post the pic soon I promise. Yes, it is important I saw it & it inspired me. Thanks for stopping by & commenting. Good to "hear" from you from across the pond again.
