What would I do if I were not afraid???  ¶ 8:38 PM (0) comments

  I remember how I thought we would never see each other again. I remember thinking you wouldn't even notice. Now I am seeing you again. You don't notice. I think I may be OK with that.

I'm learning to compare. Me to me. I'm learning to be fair. To be who I need to be.

I'm learning to do what I need to do. To make it through.

To suck it up, and get over yourself. Stop moping around and put your self-pity back away on the shelf.  ¶ 7:49 PM (0) comments

  In this day I choose living not just for the sake of passing time.

I choose to take advantage of the milliseconds between my breath and my sigh.

In this day I will grasp hold of the moments I lost so many times before as words rolled off my tongue penetrating the ears and hearts of those whom I wanted to hurt and did.

In this day I will make up for time lost by living between my thoughts and my actions.

I will live up to my potential, which is unlimited.

In this day I will acknowledge that I am a magnificent creation capable of the greatest accomplishments. I am one of a kind. Never before in the history of human existence and never again will there be another me. I have a purpose, a mission and with that a responsibility to fulfill those goals. The key to success is in "knowing" and "believing" that I can, and then purposefully taking action.

The "knowing" is the small voice you hear deep within that gives direction. It sparks the dreams and softens the indignant blows that life throws at us. It is the spirit of our being. It never goes away, although many spend a lifetime trying to block it out.

"Believing" comes once we have accepted that self esteem is not an ego trip but a verification that you are a living miracle created by God. Although we are all capable of grand accomplishments that can change the world, we all succeed at various levels none less important than the next. Some listen more intently and act upon those beliefs. Others cautiously follow taking life step by step.

In this day I will celebrate as if it was my birthday and 24 hours was my gift. I will treasure the sunrise and save the light in my hand for darkened days. I will fill my lungs to capacity with the sweet smell of life and consume the colors that surround me like a meal fit for a king. I will taste the reds and yellows of the flowers and bathe in the blues and greens of the sky and grass. At the end of the day in the darkest hours my soul will light the way to rest in the satisfaction of knowing I did not waste a morsel.  ¶ 7:09 PM (0) comments
