2018 in anticipation

Standard

I’m in no hurry to get to what is called paradise or heaven.

I find life now exciting, an adventure every day, a cause to exercise ‘will power’, creativeness and the joy of some indulgent, earned rewards.

I use plenty of memories I didn’t enjoy as an example to weight myself today, a wind to lean against, lessons to use.

And, I have a definite anger for those that cut me short. I will never let people do that to me again. Too many times!

 

…… If there was a thing that I could change as I was forming myself, it would be: (I didn’t intend to write this verse….. It just fell out that way ….. it happens!)

Promise to Myself:

To be stronger at capturing my dreams,

and surround myself with the people that are that way too.

They are not all ‘exactly’ as I.

We already have one of me.

By our nature, that would not do!

It’s the pursuit, the reaching, and the moving on.

I met a few and unconsciously migrated toward them.

Now I know why,

….. many are gone.

Wisdom takes a long time for some!

 ….. and I’m late, late, late.

….. so 2018 here I come

….. me being me,

 (arrrrr-dee-dee)
