Let Yourself Rest

Laying in bed Thinking of too many things Bunch of thoughts in my head Of what the days may bring Need to do this Forgot to do that Find a moment of bliss Like a rabbit in a hat Take a moment to sit And puzzle out thoughts Am I a good fit? Or isContinue reading “Let Yourself Rest”

Passion

What is passion? What makes you smile? What just feels right? When you’ve been at it for a while? Is there a place, a career, a thought or two That makes you feel like you? Call it a purpose, call it a dream Call it a calling, but whatever it may be I hope itContinue reading “Passion”

Someday

How do you talk yourself upWhen you’ve got nothing to say?How do you boost yourselfWhen you’re sinking the other way? Do you take a step back?Think “maybe not today” Do you power through?And pray it will be okay? How do you defy your feelingsWhen they’re leading you astray?How do “buck up” When you feel yourContinue reading “Someday”

Power of Characters

I saw a writing prompt the other day where it wanted you to list some people you admire and the qualities you admire best.
