It's Time To Get the Ball Rolling

Sometimes we just can't see

We are blinded by are own hang ups and mistakes from the past

Things aren't always as easy as they seem

We try to move on

Then something draws us in like a magnet

It feels impossible to pull away

Our bodies are drained and are energy is non existent

We have fallen into a trap

One we can not comprehend

It is real and very hard to believe

It takes time to gain are self confidence

Realizing we haven't come this far just to stop

Give up

No matter what we have faced

The good and sometimes bad

We must continue to strive for better

Each day becoming who we were meant to be

It is far from easy

The rewards are beyond belief

We are in control at all times

Even though we feel powerless

It is up to us to regain are sanity

Look around and see what hardships so many other people face

We are truly blessed

Think of the happiest day of your life

It is hard to find

Because there are so many good days that it is hard to pick just one

Don't worry, we don't have to

The beauty of life is we don't have to choose

Then in that frame of mind

We create more amazing days that nock are socks off

So we may just have a new winner

If your day or even month hasn't gone as expected

Remember you are not alone

I have had years that were terrible

Then I remembered that has never stopped me

So even in my darkest hour

I find a glimmer of hope

To get back on my horse

Nope I can't do that

My horse went on without me

At least come to my senses

Stand up on my two feet

Then rise up and make today the best day I have had in a while

Then in that feeling of joy

I help other people

That brings me more joy

Then I do the things I secretly love

Writing and reading whenever possible

It makes me feel good

I spend time doing other things I love

Playing with our cat Charlotte

That is if she will let me

She might just be in a mood of her own

Then she is off limits

Even thought we are the ones that feed her, take care of her

We constantly give her endless love

She needs sometimes time to come around

We give her space

Then when we least expect it

She is in are face

Showing us in her own way

The love that is enormous and never ending

It was there

The time had to be right

So this is the first writing in so many weeks

It doesn't matter the weeks I missed

The time when I am here

That is what counts

So if you can take away one thing from my poem

I still call them my stoems

Story/ poem

Make the best of every day

Things have a funny way of turning around

Then when you feel good inside

You will gradually feel better on the outside

With that note

Have a great night sleep

Start tomorrow with a new kind of enthusiasm and excitement

Leave the past behind

It is o.k. to remember the way it was

The thing that matters most

Today is here and now

Make it happen

Make it shine

I can't wait to look over your shoulder and say

Now you both are both having the time of your life

I want more of that too

I will be more like them

Instead of being more of the depressed boring me

So when I get in a funk

I have to learn how to get out of that funk

The best way that works for me

I people watch and push my dreams and imagination to the top

If they can do it

So can I

it might take me a little longer

So what

I get more practice in trying, trying and trying

I know only too soon

I will be flying

Flying

You got that right

Flying high until I drift out of sight

On my way to follow my dreams

I am certain we will meet again

You are following your dreams too

When we both collide

As we get knocked off are feet once again

This time laughing and being silly

Nobody got hurt

Just some summer fun

The sun blinded us both

So we couldn't see where we were going

Maybe going a little too fast

Yes, we were speeding

On the way to happiness and good health in the future

Don't be shy

There is plenty of room so you can pass by
