Embrace the good times when you can,
because anything and everything
can change all of that in an instant
Words Of Wisdom
Life is too short
Seize The Day
We all have moments
we regret in life
and
we can’t turn back the clock
So we must
always have the fortitude
to forge ahead
and
seize every opportunity
no matter how big or small
To Veer Off Path
In the journey of life,
it’s okay
to take the wrong route
every now and then
You might find
some hidden treasure
that can be added
to your memory bank
Complexity Of Life
Life isn’t a mathematical question
It doesn’t have a clear solution
There’s no right answer as well
You’re just given a problem in life
and it’s up to you
to find a way
to solve it to your liking
Life Is Too Hard
Life is too hard
to go at it alone,
so make sure to have
your
family and friends
beside you
to aid you in
your journey
Mark’s Favorite Quote #7
“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore for you to be happy.”
Breathe It In
Breathe it in,
everything around you,
the smell of nature,
the warmth of the sun,
the coolness of the rain,
breathe it in
You’re going to worry about work,
money, and material things
but nothing will compare
to how fast time will pass you by so,
breathe it in
The chaos you’ll encounter,
the daily grind you endure,
breathe it in
Even when the monotony
starts to set in,
breathe it in
All the wins and the losses
breathe it in
The time with your family and friends,
breathe it in
Every moment of your journey in life
breathe it in
Enjoy all the big moments,
but truly relish the small ones
because when all is said and done
when you look back on your life
you’ll realize they were all big things,
so…
just breathe it in
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
Ask Yourself The Right Question
If you ever wondered,
is it better to live
second by second,
minute by minute,
hour by hour,
day by day,
month to month
or year to year
then you’re asking yourself
the wrong question
Just living is precious in itself
So spend your time wisely
creating memories
that’ll last a lifetime.
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.
