The Right View

There are times
when we can get down on ourselves;
we feel less than adequate;
we crumble under the weight of hardships;
we question almost everything.

Perhaps . . .
just perhaps . . .
this will change your outlook.

I have not failed.
I have found
ten thousand ways
that WON'T work.

Becoming

Saw this and thought . . . wow!
Far too many of us
chase something that dwells within.

In the past,
I thought love was about
finding the right person.
In reality,
love is about 
becoming the right person.
Don't look for the person
you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Become the person
you want to spend your life with.

Different Keyboards

You tickle the ivories
I play with qwerty
You are 'the maestro'
I am 'the wordie'
You strike a chord
I forge prose
You soothe the savage beast
I alleviate the woes
You sing a story
I write emotion
You play from your very soul
I rhyme with deep devotion
Maybe I'm your major 7th
As you compose life's melody
You paint with tonal images
For blinded hearts to see
You're my constant inspiration
To use the gifts you've given me
A verbal protégé in art
Your loquacious harmony
We may use different keyboards
As I sit in retrospect
But both, in tune, we seek the same
A blissfully peaceful effect

Even Me

Sometimes, these blogs are directed
toward a specific person.
Sometimes, someone very unexpected
responds to these blogs.
The purpose of any and all of them
is to simply start your day off
on a positive and uplifting note.
Sometimes these blogs are written
for me
and help some other folks along the way.
It's a win-win!

Yesterday,
I was attacked by the
ignorance,
arrogance,
stupidity,
laziness,
bitterness monster.
There were beautiful moments,
but that beast was always lurking.
I, however, will always persevere.
I hope you will, too.

If you have a question; ask it.
If you have doubts; clarify things.
If you are angry; confront your problem.
If you are belittled; stand up to your bully.
If you are hurt; dust yourself off and move along.
Your perception of you is of greater import than anyone else's.
If other folks cannot grasp how amazing you are,
they really just don't deserve all that fabulousness.
Go and share it where it's appreciated!

Have an incredible day!

Step Forward

This is one of those life lessons
that  is terribly difficult
to learn and to do.
It is, however,
critically important to your survival ~
physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Sometimes . . . 
walking away
is a step forward.

Have a beautiful day ~
wherever you are stepping.

An interesting spin

So I came across this little tidbit yesterday.
My sarcastic self just loved it.
My positive self kind of questioned it.
But . . . in the end . . .
if you spin it right (that silver lining thing)
it's all good!

No person is useless.
He/She can serve to be
a bad example.

Be the best you you can be.
Enjoy the day.

Touch

Sing it with me:

Reach out and touch
somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
if you can

Hold a hand.
Touch a heart.
Share a hug.
Touch a soul.

It only takes a moment
to make a moment.
