Poems – Just Be Positive.

We’ve all had bad days, right?  They come with the territory…they’re just a simple (well, not always so simple) fact of life.  It sounds easy, but we have to take them at face value and not allow a bad day to become a bad few days.  Let it all end when the eyes close at night, then wake up with a new perspective.  Here’s a few words to accompany what I’m saying…nothing fancy, nothing too poetic (well, not poetic at all), just having some fun with a nice little mantra to mutter when things aren’t going as we’d like.  Just a little something that I (and hopefully you as well) could use.  Blessings to you today!

Poems – Sketches of Possibility.

Thoughts are fun…writing is, too.  The two go very well together.  On occasion, I like to remind myself to slow down, think, relax, and take in the moments.  Sort of a mindfulness approach, but mostly just my way of remembering to be appreciative.  It’s so easy to complain in this world. Thinking and writing clean the slate and clear the head….and enable us to realize how green our own pastures are.

Peace and happiest of days to all!

Poems – Following Daydreams.

If you’ve visited this space before, you by now may be fully aware of the fact that I love to dream.  If you’re new to this space, welcome aboard!  Hey, I’ll admit it…I am a professional dreamer.  I love a good daydream.  Who doesn’t, right?  I have an incredibly vivid imagination, and putting that imagination to work is a fun challenge.  You know what I’ve noticed, though?  Dreams are nothing without action.  They are just (super excellent) thoughts trapped within our brain until we do something about it.  It really all comes down to one thing…how bad do you want said dream?  If it’s worth accomplishing, then it’s worth the effort.  Let’s keep on dreaming…but let’s not don’t forget to do.  Peace and love (and good daydreams) to you all. 

Poems – Live Today

So if you’re reading this, then it’s a good sign…it means that you woke up today.  How awesome is that?  And how many people did not open their eyes this morning?  Think about it.  Let’s try to cast aside as many of the earthly troubles that we can today (jobs, finances, gossip, etc.), and take just a tiny moment to be thankful.  For the air that we’re breathing.  For the heart that is still beating.  For another crack at life…which is gifted, not guaranteed.   Let’s live today.  Best of days to you all!

Poems – Global Thoughts.

With the events in Manchester unfolding, my thoughts drifted to a piece that I’d written previously.  Times like these make you think; I believe that the key is to not lose faith in humanity.  To not lose faith in the belief that we can be better…and in turn, do better.  We can’t give up on hope.  Just a thought.  Peace and blessings to all.

Poems – Failure is OK.

Hey, we’ve all been there, right?  We’ve all failed at something…me, you, and everybody else…and we will most certainly fail at something yet to come.  It happens; that’s just life.  And you know what?  It’s ok!  So when we do, it’s important to alter our perspectives and accept it.  Just….accept it, fix what we can, learn from it, and move on.  Acceptance and courage can turn failure into a learning experience that we can use to grow beyond our limitations.  Think about it.  
Thanks for reading, and best of days to you all!

Poems – Vision. 

I am a huge dreamer.  I try to also be a huge doer.  It is a challenge to find that balance, since it’s often much easier to do the dreaming than it is finding the time and mojo to DO.  The two (hopefully) go hand in hand, as dreams are nothing but fairy tales without action.  As such, I am a huge advocate for dreaming and doing.  A major advocate for living life rather than just existing.  My poems are not meant to be preachy, “this is how you should live your life” style poems, but rather reminders of things that I think about.  Things that I have noticed in my own experiences and in my own walk of life.  I don’t pretend to have any answers at all.  But I’ll tell you what, the quest for those answers is fun…and it is my joy to write about those explorations.  In that vein, feel free to check out today’s observation.  We are all on this journey together…let’s try our best to dream and do.  I’m with you.  Best of luck to you today.
