Assume the best of me.
It will usually be true.
And, if it isn’t,
I’ll want to make it up to you.

Mind Reading
Living Well
Every little mood I’m in
Dried green paint (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Every little mood I’m in
Every little mood I’m in
colors every place I’ve been.
Spilling paint and splashing tints
imagination’s subtle hints
of what fortunes soon will come
pretending that it’s already done.
Tomorrows will all be like yesterday
painted in the very same way.
On they’ll go and on and on
drudging on as they’ve begun,
and hope bleeds out like runny ink,
and I won’t notice unless I think.
The paint for tomorrow is in my hand
the canvas white, clear on it’s stand.
The colors will be fresh, the picture new.
It might be green, or pink, or blue.

Comforting to realize
All the past
All the past,
my own
along with all who have ever lived,
every discovery,
every word written,
every whisper of legacy
whether good or bad
converges
into
one purpose:
To help me
live now
and
succeed beautifully
in the present,
one living moment
at a time.

Where can I find a good gym? Where can I find classes or sports for Kids?
English: YMCA logo (international and USA) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Healthy people, families and communities. YMCA is more than a health club.
PS: I was a member of my local YMCA and loved that just by participating, I was helping others, too. Now, I work there and love that, too!
Check it out! You will be surprised at the variety of classes and opportunities available at the Y.
The Finish Line

Racing, pacing forward
toward a line not seen
unaware that it was also racing
back with careless tragedy
fame of a sort
no one wanted or looked for
pursued instead for vigorous, long life
mocked
the unity of heart beats
pounding out with a chorus
of a thousand footsteps
stopped
The breathing of a nation
waits to understand
an answer that will not come.
This was planned.
The fear whispers
life’s one definite truth:
don’t take life for granted,
the finish line comes to you.

Why Record?

I can not know
how far I’ve come
unless I know
where I’ve been
I can not
best myself
if I can not
find the line
Finally a
finish marker
that lets me know
I’m winning

Routine
Treadmill, frightful, boredom
English: Gentaur schedule (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
demanding, intimidating, impossible
slow, tedious, mind-numbing
impersonal, task-oriented, bossy
inflexible limits
Predictable accomplishment,
successful trade offs and juggling,
realistic planning and pacing
In control, efficient

Precontemplation

Funny how my faults
are obvious to
all but me.
Why is it that
I’m the last to see?

Finished
Rain or Shine (Photo credit: Dackel828)
Done for now
time for rest
work finished
past the stress
nothing to do
reconnect
love
relax
enjoy
appreciate
plan
but do not do
for now at least
the work
is through.
