Life takes grit and determination and a willingness to keep trying,

work new angles,

see from a different perspective.

​

But MORE IMPORTANTLY, Life is to be joyful, fun and cherished.

I seem to be learning this a little late, and much of the time,

I'm slow on the uptake.

 

It's so easy, especially in today's 24/7 world of the latest worst news,

to be completely overwhelmed by the negative.

We see it, maybe we live it for a bit, then we let it swallow us; finally, we perpetuate it.

The cycle consumes us, and all of a sudden,

life feels like a chore that bogs us down.

Who wants to live that way?

 

Experience, Embrace, Engage, EnJOY.

 

We have a choice, every day.

Often, just making the decision on how to face the day is the hardest part....

​

[I'm chipping away at it, one  minute, one moment at a time.]

​

It's worth it.
