have a good life...

bend, but do not break,
leave more than you take,
make every word count and be true,
don't fear saying I love you,
live not to be in the spotlight,
embrace forgiveness and what is right,
respect those who have come before,
have what you need and not more,
value more than the dollar sign,
then you will see, and not be blind.

These are but my simple words that I impart so they may help even but one person....

trying to remember to forget....

Here's a beautiful and touching song called, "Don't Forget" by Pat Metheny.
It sort of dovetails with a saying I have had for many years since I was in a life changing accident. I came up with the saying, "I am trying to remember to forget"...as the challenges and changes I face since my accident make me wish I could remember to forget so much that 'was' my life and who I was before my accident.

poetry in motion?

I'm not so much 'poetry in motion' - I'm more "prose that falls and keeps getting back up" #nevergiveup #youcandoit #prose #fridaymotivation
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." - even if it is a painful first step...
These were the very first steps I took in trying to run for the first time after a VERY serious and life altering accident. I fell, but I kept getting back up:)
