Days, weeks, then months
and years drift by.
Not always noticeable, or even
memorable, the time behind us
simply accumulates. All in all,
the sum of its parts leads to
a life well-lived, if you take
a moment to notice.

Mondays are just young Fridays
It’s not about height
or breadth, or depth.
It is all about perspective.
What limits you?
How far can you see?
To what end do you
appreciate what is in front of you?
Looking back is hindsight
and you have already been there.
Change your point of view.
Look up.
Don’t overlook opportunities.
What are your limits?

Secrets are rarely as heavy as
the weight we assign to them.
The gravity of circumspect
plays out, time and again. It is
what we carry as we decide
what crosses, or is held within,
our moral divide.
Sit with it for a while, moved
only when memory comes into
play; last night, or the other, or
any other day.

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

Yesterday did not go as planned.
I had things to do – things I needed to do – that simply did not get done.
Lately, many days have been like that. More than I care to admit.
Some days I fail to see all that I have.
Other days I’m unsure where I am going, even when I try to adjust my
way of thinking or alter my direction.
When I struggle with all this negativity, I don’t (or can’t) take into
consideration the many good things that I possess.
I’m too caught up in the emotional traffic and feelings of anger that
rise up from the disappointment that I can’t focus on the task at hand.
I don’t think I’m unique.
I believe we all have things we want to accomplish.
We don’t all struggle. Few of us admit we are nowhere near where
we need to be. None of us are perfect.
I am flawed.
Some days I can’t quite see past all the imperfections, but still
I will keep trying.
I don’t want today to simply turn into yesterday.
