Change Your Perspective

Life can be fresh and exciting
when you change your perspective
It makes the boring and tedious
much more fun
If every day feels like the same,
then make little adjustments
and do something out of the ordinary
and you’ll see the world around you
in a new light
This will open up
better opportunities, brighter days
and happier times
So if you feel that
your life is in a rut,
change your perspective

Don’t Waste Any Time

It’s such a cliché when we say,
“Life’s too short”
but it’s so, so true
Take the time to stop
and enjoy what life has to offer
Play till your muscles ache,
laugh till you cry,
smile till it hurts
Just do everything and anything
while you can
because
you’ll find yourself being too old
when you’re ready to have fun

Go And Make Memories

Memories are important
and it’s up to you
to make them
From the simple
to the grandiose,
it can be ridiculously stupid
or fantastically great
The experience you get from it
will no doubt be
a priceless treasure
in your heart

Mid-Life Reflections #13

It’s been awhile since I stopped and took time to reflect on the things happening in my life. Since this COVID-19 chaos, everything has been up in the air and all my daily routines have been thrown out of whack. But my optimistic trait has me seeing a positive side to all of this. Having this pandemic happen has given me the opportunity to actually stop my life and take into account all the good things that are around me. I am fortunate to be a lot closer with my family, both in proximity and in relationships. I value life more, regardless of all the obstacles that are in my way. I’m appreciative of being able to stop and take notice of nature and how it continues to progress regardless of what goes on in my life. And most of all, I’m just happy to be here in this moment, knowing that I have had good memories despite all of the negative aspects associated with this virus. This will pass because there cannot be darkness without light. So I continue to have hope and treasure every breath I take.
