I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

It is too easy to become distracted by our problems, allowing dreary reminders or difficult circumstances control the better part of our thought process.
Yes, we allow numbing negativity and the soul-sucking directives of someone else dictate our mood and attitude.
We accept the dark clouds forecast as the truth, or expect to see the results as we are told, instead of looking past temporary distractions to the brighter horizon.
There always is one.
Something wonderful is about to happen.
It might be happening right now.

Today, again, it is
worth a try. We all have that
something we want to do, or
quit doing. Emotions,
addictions, habits or
convictions, some of them
simply are not healthy.
We know it, but still
we keep doing it.
We’ve tried before to give up,
but we give in.
So today
we will try again
to put something down,
or pick something up.
It is by trial and error,
but still we must
deal with or try, and continue
asking the questions why.
It takes power; willpower
and more. We know.
We have tried before, and have
tried again. Over and over.
At times the words
of someone else
may strengthen your resolve,
but you know
you must
do it on your own.
So today we will try again,
and tomorrow as well.
Only you can know, only
you can tell.

You can smell the changes
this time of year.
All of the senses are
heightened with anticipation
of what lays ahead, and
are fuelled by the taste of
all you have encountered
along the way.
Open your mind.
Open your heart, open your
eyes and bear witness
to the changes
in yourself, and in others.
