What If We Could Make a Difference in Our Lives?
The What If's Put On Hold
Then life does matter
Everything we do every day does change who we are and who we know
Then why stop there
Think of what we can and do accomplish every day
Look at our past and see all the good that we have created
Don't let the insecurities of our past interfere with our future
How many days have we woken up out of bed and feel the same way than the day before ?
What has changed ?
I think we have an obligation to ourselves to create the life we want to live
Not necessary the life we are living
Somewhere along the line we get tangled and forget how to get free
Just like a hundred foot electrical cord that we didn't wrap up correctly
Now when we go to use it
We get one cord wrapped around another
We were in a hurry
We had no time
I get that
Now that I do have the time
Let me make a correction
Slowly fix things so they work easy again
There is no right
There is no wrong
Just there is what is and what we plan on doing about it
I was given a beautiful perennial last year
The plant came in the house last winter
I watered it and took care of it until Spring
Then I pulled it out and hung it outside
Would you believe we had some beautiful weather
I forgot to water it
It is almost dead
I am trying to bring it back to life
I am also trying to revive things in my life that I did not notice
That need my immediate attention
I think we all have areas in our life that we could do better
In our mind we toss them around like a fresh tossed salad
A healthy choice out of so many other choices that make us feel and be better
Some how we spend our hard earned money on the things that are good for us
Bring the things home to prepare
Go on with our day
Adjust to any problems that come our way
If we are not careful we can fall back in our old traps
As soon as a new idea strikes
We can easily forget the one before
If we are at a weak moment
We may pick those delicious dark chocolate, fudge brownies
Eat not just one but two
Then why stop there
Have three or four
In the big picture it is not a big deal
I deserve them don't I
Many things can be good in moderation
It's when we cross the line
Forget and leave our senses
Dive into the deep end
Without any supervision
So here we have it
My mind on steroids
Thinking what I want to do
Then doing it
There is no easy solution
Just one step after the other
If it is work
Exercising at home or at the gym
Writing one piece or a whole book
We put the time in
We get results
We can be easily swayed in one direction or another
Which is not a bad thing
It is only after we continue doing what is best for us
That we will get the result that makes us the happiest
Good luck in your journey
Every thought we do it separately
We actually are on the same path
Each choosing our own way
Each and every daty

This is a smart and well thought out poem pertaining to how we should approach life each and every day. It makes one think!
I have the biggest journey ahead of me and the biggest choices to make. What kind of opportunities can you suggest in your state of Maine as to renting apartments and getting jobs? I am making up a list as I go along and then I will have some big decisions to make.
You've written a very thought-provoking poem. It's also encouraging. Good luck in your journey through life as well.
