Spring Ahead - Fall Flat

I usually only write one blog per 24 hours, but today merits two entries.  Why?  Because last night was the start of daylight savings time and, as usual, I missed the mark.  So, today I wrote a little ditty about it-- how I felt after forgetting to turn ahead my clock and missing the first hour of my favorite show, Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood, (even after writing it down on my calendar)!

Spring has sprung----or gone haywire!

This morning I awoke at 7:40 and thought, oh good,
I have an hour before my show comes on, so I'll read.
And, I did.

Then, at 8:55, I slowly rolled over and zapped the TV
on with my hand-dandy remote. No hurry. No worry.

WRONG!

For they were just finishing up a fascinating story about
a lady who'd kept in touch with Jackie Kennedy and was
like part of the family through her letters---something I
would've been keenly interested in---but only managed to
catch about 2 minutes of. . . .why????

Because I forgot to "Spring ahead!" last night at midnight.
Oh, I had it on my calendar, all right. Written in the square
that said the "14th of March" What was I thinking???
Apparently, NOTHING!

So I missed a full hour of my treasured show and especially
this last segment on the Kennedys which I missed all together!
Wonder if I can find a transcript of it or even a resource to
see it online? I'm so disgusted!

That's about how I often view and integrate in the world, too.
Good intentions---falling flat.  Over and over, again.

Sheesh. . . . Happy Spring . . .
