Voice

Each of us has a voice, and this is mine:

I am a great human being. 

I am full of wisdom.

I live in perfection because a human being is perfect.

I get to breathe and I don't have to worry about it when I sleep.

I wake up. 

I am awake.

I live. Without trying to.

I am amazing. 

Incredible.

All I need is air, and it is everywhere.

I am grateful.

To myself.

I have carried myself through so many things.

I am dependable. 

without me, I don't know where I'd be.

I take care of me.

I care for me.

I care for you.

I will take care of you for a while.

Then I want you to take care of yourself.

Because I care for you.

I know who I am.

I know me better, the longer I know me.

I've known me for quite a while now.

I think I'm getting better at being.

Me.

I use the word I very much.

It's easier to type than most words.

I don't always take the easy way out though.

i would be the easiest.

i am the easiest.

I takes much more mindfulness.

So, in closing, I would like to say.

I hope you have as wonderful a life as I do.

Not so much...

So yesterday, stiff and sore. Today, not so much. I'm feeling free and loose, so I guess I'll get that run in now. Funny how a little money in the bank frees things up a bit. I use to think that money wasn't  important. Now, "Not so much..."

Just lucky, I guess...

Lucky Stiff

So I woke up stiff today. Not woody stiff. Old stiff. Yeah, that’s where my mind goes first too. I woke up stiff. Just wanted to say it again. I’m feeling tight and stiff. My body is sore from kickboxing yesterday and, oh yeah, I also did 300 push-ups and 100 pull-ups before that during my cardio-bodyweight-cardio workout. So, I’m stiff. Thought about running hills today, but I think my hip-flexors might close down on me if I do. So I think I’ll just get out the magnesium oil and give myself a rub-down. Yeah, I don’t want to stay stiff, you know.

Surrender

I knew the words you used were lost

Before you even said them

I searched for signs under the frost

But lost all my momentum

Now your words are clear and bright

You take your promise back

I spend another quiet night

The fears and doubt attack

Away from you my heart still beats

Although my head is reeling

With love the letting go competes

Surrender dawns the healing
