You sense the beginning
Itch becomes ache
The ache a dull throbbing
Sun too brilliant
For these eyes
Each coffee scoop
A reminder
Every brush stroke
A twinge of the habitual
The plodding creeping toward demise
It is not the question marks,
The perpetual wonder of it all
But these small things
That hurt the most
The agony of the spilled milk
The crushing defeat of the traffic jam
And the torture of putting on
Your shoes for another day
— Always the inevitable shoes.

About The Author
Sarah R. Bloom, once known as “The Orchid of the Philadelphia Poetry Scene,” is attempting to blossom once again after many years of motherhood, spiritual discovery, and becoming a Photo Editor for Chelsea House Publishers. Her poems have been published in several small publications, and a biography of Queen Latifah written for middle-school students, praised by The School Library Journal as a “well-rounded biography” and “accessible,” was published in 2000.
An important consideration for dealing with depression and stress, is to make sure you're getting enough omega-3 fats, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid (both of which are not in flaxseed). These two omega-3 fats are an important part of the composition of your brain, and have to be gotten from diet. Most western diets get too few omega-3 fats, and too many omega-6 fats (vegetable oil, for example).
Additionally, vitamin d deficiency might be an important consideration for people in certain latitudes, with a certain melanin content, overweight, or aging. If you happen to be deficient, then enriched milk won't cut it. Do be careful, however, since vitamin d can be overdosed on.
