as we step through the door…
of a brand new year
this,
this is my plea
for a
pause …
to set my intention
to be
with grace
at once loving and
Kind
and always
with
Gratitude
I wonder sometimes, If I just repeatedly write the same thing,
over and over
will it reach, the world
I wonder…
I can’t even tell you exactly when,
I anchored myself
securely in
my heart
but this for me
is home
here is absolutely where
I rest
In reverence
this is not to say that each day
I go around with a smile on my face
and a song in my heart..
this is not at all the case
(ha! my darling husband can certainly attest to that)
yet, everyday
I believe I do have a song in my head
and yes, a smile on my heart
even when it is faint
it is always
always
there
I do acutely find many
opportunities to say my
Thank you’s
whether it is something wondrous that
beautifies my day
or something quite small
that catches
my eye,
and always
my heart
sometimes it may be
simply that I have
made it
to the end of the day
quite possibly,
a really tough day
yet here I am
thankful
for
rest
to my credit I would say
I am not a negative person
I can not be gathered in by negativity
I
intentionally
shed it like water
from my feathers
I refuse to have it enter my house
my body
and most especially
my heart
It has no place
here
I am Love
this is my statement to the world
I am Love
this is my shipping
and
my receiving
Yes, yes, we know you say
but the world..
and this guy, that woman,
these circumstances …
he said, she said, they looked…
but what if today
right now,
this day
this
new
year
you pause
right here
right
here …
you set your intention
to Love
to Kindness
and to
Gratitude
find any small thing in your
every day
to just say
Thank you
and yes
to say it,
to speak it
openly
to offer it
and
to live
it
on this
eve
the approach of a new year
if you have
heard my plea
if you have taken this pause
with me
my Gratitude is to you, my friend
for
connection
for kindness
and for
Love
and while we are here
just before you go
let me slip this
little gift
ever so gently
into your pocket
thank you
now
pass it on ♥
