deliberate actions
Forgiveness
not always possible, or
so it seems.
Too much confusion and conflict,
too many altercations,
such little hope.
So many people caught up
in cruelties
we have little chance of erasing.
Harsh words
only accelerate deliberate actions.
Can peace be unavoidable
if our actions
take on greater intentions?02/25/2024 j.g.l.

headspace
We tend to think more on what we should have done, instead of what we have accomplished.
All those ‘shoulda’, ‘woulda’, ‘coulda’ seem to take up a lot of our headspace.
Wouldn’t we be far better off if we changed our perspective?
I feel it’s time to focus on what is ahead instead of lamenting on what has already taken place.
The past has passed.02/18/2024 j.g.l.

be thankful
Whisper each morning,
to yourself, words of
gratitude for the things
that come to mind
at the beginning
of the day.
As you step forward,
say thank you to others
for the kindness
they offer you,
and to others.
Show appreciation
with your words, and
through your actions.
At the end of the day,
reflect on all you are
thankful for; the people,
the places,
and the possibilities.
Say thanks, give thanks,
and be thankful
today
and every day.© 2015 j.g. lewis
