Coffee Ponderings

Sitting at home with a cup of coffee
I ponder once again
On the people I've annoyed or upset.
Other things spring to mind:
Poor performance at work.

I take a sip.  It's 8am.

Then I think of my charity work
I might (or might not be)
A nice person
But I think I've done more
Charity work than most 
Perhaps I shouldn't boast.

I take another sip.

I think of- and feel guilty about-
Some of the ingratitude
I've shown over the years
But then, nobody's perfect and
Perhaps it's futile to try and be so.

Another sip.

I'm an introvert- though maybe
I like to have attention.
It was said years ago at school
That I was demanding in this way.

More coffee.  I am alone.

Does being an introvert make a person selfish,
Since being by myself means I am
not contributing to the
happiness of others?
I don't know the answer to this.

I finish the coffee.

It's time to get ready for another day.
