I Wish I Was a Glow Worm

"I wish I was a glow worm,
A glow worm's never glum.
'Cuz how can you be grumpy
When the sun shines out your bum!"

This is my attempt at spreading cheer and positive attitudes today.

Whatever is getting you down right now - drafts, edits, query wars, jobs, family, diets, an empty chocolate drawer (I really, really hope it's not an empty chocolate drawer) - go forth and shine! Not necessarily from your bum.

What is something you can SHINE about today?

Shining from your bum...I can't believe you wrote that, haha. My sister had one of those glow worm toys and I thought it was way cute. :) I can shine about napping after getting the kids off to school. Thanks to the wind and a headache, I woke up at 4. Being an at-home mom really does have its benefits (you know, when you're not cleaning or running everyone around or volunteering in the schools).

Hee! Thanks for the smile!
Even though it's windy and stormy and dark this morning, I feel satisfied because my house is looking good after all of the effort in the last few weeks. Plus I'm excited as I can finally get back to my writing this week!

Kristi said...

You are constantly a bottle of sunshine Shannon...thank you for that!!! Where do you find all these super cool poems? They're great!

You know what makes me shine? My toddler. Kind of hard to fight a smile when looking at him.

Jessica Bell said...

hahah! Awesome! thanks for that giggle :o)

Janna Leadbetter said...

Very cute! And I love this cheer you're spreading, Shannon. :)

I'm shining over a day at home today. Finally!

TeeHee. I'll have that last line running through my head all day today. There's snow on the ground, and that makes me shine too today. I like the change of seasons.

Corey Schwartz said...

Ha, ha! You're the best... always spreading cheer.

What is something I can shine about? My six year old wrote her first poem. And the meter is spot on!

Lenny Lee said...

I didn't think my smile could be bigger today, but then I stopped here. It is possible :D I'm glowing today because I FINALLY finished my WiP!

Jennie Englund said...

So silly and funny and true.

Shannon, the EARLY worm is what you are! Your posting these bright, insightful things at the crack of dawn is incredible!

Colene Murphy said...

Awe cute! Just the thing for an early Tuesday morning

My pregnant bum is definitely not shining today:) Thanks for the pick me up!

I want to celebrate my love for writing! No pressure there, right?!

Write Chick said...

Fun poem. I'm going to share that with my kids. We had a grumpy morning this morning and could all use a little reminder to be happy.

Anonymous said...

LOL! I think I'll stitch that poem on a pillow. ;) So great!

Thanks for the cheer and laughter!

Candyland said...

Yay! We're on the same wave length today:)
I'm determined to stay shiny despite too many balls in the air!

PK HREZO said...

Aww.... thank u! You will be the sunshine in our universe.

Earlier today I was thinking how, even tho my house is modest in size, it's so much more than others in different parts of the world have. I was feeling thankful for having so much. SOme have so little.

We in America are truly blessed.

Golden Eagle said...

:D Thanks for that one! *chuckles*

I can shine about actually having revised my plot! It was a bit of a mess before.

Elana Johnson said...

How did you know I needed this today? With the diet and the stress at work, I'm ready to implode. But I can shine and be happy! Just by smiling. I can, I can, I can.

*grin*

Laura S. said...

LOL, too cute! I used to have a glow worm toy when I was a kid. I wonder if they still make those? They were so cute!

Shelley Sly said...

Love it! Thank you so much for making me smile. :) Despite feeling exhausted and stressed, I can shine because I'm home from work, sitting in my comfy computer chair, ready to relax!

Liz @ Cleverly Inked said...

I can shine for many reasons, I had 5 hours to myself for the first time in weeks. I also made some awesome cookies.


Yes, they do make glow worms still

Kelly H-Y said...

Ha! So cute!
I'm thankful for healthy children!

Melissa said...

I laughed out loud and had to show this to my friend. Thanks for spreading the cheer.

Shannon said...

Awww, what a great post. =) Thanks for spreading the sunshine.

How did you know I have no chocolate??? I've got to get some before NanoWriMo starts. That will be my little treat everyday after getting my writing in. : )

The glow worm poem is cute!

ali cross said...

ROFL! I love that! Definitely made me smile!

Heidi Willis said...

Bwa ha ha!! That made me laugh out loud! Thanks! :)

Mary Aalgaard said...

Great poem, and I posted my cheer on my blog. I'm actually happy about the snow. It's pretty and fun, and I know it won't stick around long. The weekend promises to be warmer for the football games and trick-or-treating.

Ishta Mercurio said...
