I’m a problem solver at heart, working my way through most of what life throws my way.
I know life isn’t easy and it places obstacles in our path. Obstacles that seem insurmountable, but by putting one foot forward, they can be overcome.
Sometimes I need to be extra creative to tackle a life lesson, but there’s times when I struggle. While I can see a solution, I work with what I have. It’s the times I feel totally helpless that my stress levels rise to unacceptable heights.
That’s when it’s time to stop and smell the roses. Time out.
I was challenged to write a drabble of the word ‘helpless'.
Wikipedia defines a drabble as follows :
A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space.

Not me thinking you were gonna say that's when it's time to jump off the roof 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Smelling roses sounds good! Well written!!
I appreciated this piece of honest reflection and inspiration :) I want to be in a 'time out' more than a 'time in' lately.
