Toss compliments around

Dwell on good thoughts

Change just one

of your negative ways

Smile at everyone

If they don’t smile back

Smile even bigger

Run and give them a hug

They probably really need it

Set an example today

It’s easier than you think

Right now, where you stand

Pause for a minute

And take my minds hand

Feel the warmth of my smile

Feel the love in my hug

It’s carried to you in this link

Choose to set an example today

It can happen in a blink

And it’s way more easier

Than you might at first think.

“If you think you have ruined God’s plan for you, rest in this: You my beautiful friend, are not that powerful.” ………

Proverbs 16:9 (KJV)A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

Life is messy

We make mistakes

But it can be okay

God offers His mercy

Everyday

Reach out

Take His hand

Rest in His arms

Follow His plan

A friend recently commented

“Your knight in shining armor may still show up one day. ”

Whatever!

My knight in shining armor

Did not own a trusty steed

Out for a ride one day

The horse tossed him in the weeds

Upon a rock he hit his head

The horse figured him for dead

Now the wild horse roams the forrest free

While my knight wonders around lost

With amnesia,

Forgetting to look for me.

You’re always one decision away

from a totally different life.

Shoot for the moon,

or reach for the stars.

Go ahead, reach, and

find out

just how lucky you are.

Dear shadow

Show me what you see

As you follow along

Sometimes in front

Sometimes in back

Sometimes right beside me

i often get lost inside myself

Listening to the chatter

Of my seldom silent mind

Remind me of my potential

Reflect boldly upon the wall

Maybe

Should i catch a glimpse

You will remind me

Of what’s possible

And that

It’s not too late

I’m not too old

Loneliness can crush

the strongest soul

Feeling unloved

unheard

unknown

Depression sets in

and drags us down

Into a very dark hole

Seeing the light can be hard

Almost impossible at times

A ray of hope is all we need

To leave the depths

And fly on wings

I am

always with you

Whispering

Sometimes screaming

You are not alone

You are loved

You keep me safe

Wrapped in the pureness of your love

Held in the strength of your arms

Engulfed in the warmth of your smile

And

I keep you wild

Wrapped in the passion of my spirit

Held by the creativity of my mind

Engulfed in the sparkle of my eyes

There’s something about a saddle

especially an old one

built to last.

Makes me wonder

of it’s stories

and what it has seen

in it’s past.

Long days,

starlit nights,

passionate love,

drunken fights.

Silently speaking

of steadfast value.

It’s getting harder to find

that kind of virtue.

The kind of virtue found

in the silent stories

from the past

of an old saddle

built to last.

Ponder this thought:

You have been given gifted with another day on life’s journey, not necessarily because you need it, but because someone out there needs you.

When the winds of change

Begin to blow

Be they fast

Or be they slow

Don’t build a wall

To hold them back

Embrace them

Help them find a good track

As those winds of change

Twist about

Construct a windmill

Of your thoughts

Go ahead, trust yourself,

You can figure it out

Let the extra energy you find

Be used effectively

To power that machine

Called your mind

With strategic effort

The winds of change

Can propel you forward

In a positive way

Don’t get lost in the wind currents

And jostled about

Gain your footing

Control those thoughts and

When the wind returns

To a more steady course

You may look inward to find

A field of windmills in your mind

And

A beautiful path in front of you

That required the winds of change

In order to come into view
