I Was Reminded Today

I was reminded today
that I found bliss in the Tuscan hills and valleys one year ago this July
I was reminded today
that my mood is always affected by the weather
that the way to go with it
is to go WITH it
cozy sweats, fuzzy slippers
soft candle light
I was reminded today
to stand for what I desire
and dare I say deserve
next levels I've earned and am ready for
now
I was reminded today
of obstacle illusions
"barriers" outside myself
which are not barriers at all
you see
but reminders
I may be blocking myself
that flowing down a river of dreams
doesn't happen unless I jump in the boat
I was reminded today
how blessed I am
to be the daughter of self made parents
parents who were not privileged or lifted
but who gave me a good, good life
I was reminded today
I must continue to say
"No, thank you"
to certain temptations
which are distractions from myself and my dreams
I was reminded today
fewer distractions
brings greater peace
I was reminded today
my heart longs to soar and needs
music!
travel!
new questions to answer!
I was reminded today
that couples in love who I love make me feel sooo inspired I will find love, too
LOVE
I was reminded today
I need not work my body to bits
I can modify, modify, modify
I was reminded today
a firm, gentle hand is a gift
as is
a patient voice
as is
a space to dwell
I was reminded today
that the best way to deal with bullshit
yours
is to step over it and keep walking
mine
is to stop saying it
I was reminded today
a new life needs to be seen vividly
felt completely
believed wholeheartedly
first and foremost.
How else do doors fly open so fast
you fear they'll leave their hinges?
