KK: Karen's Kanvas: Reflections, a New Year, A New Beginning

 We all need trust    and tenacity to achieve,

Have inner strength and believe,

We need to go with the flow, and have hope,

To be self-Reliant and know how to cope,

With life's challenges, and the stress from day to day,

Be in the game, to be a good sport, and know how to play,

To find balance, and   the person and happiness within,

Too love yourself, whether you are tall, fat, short or thin,

To recognize, you are a winner! just give it your all,

And when you lose sight of your Goals, and may slip and fall,

Reach out to others, family and friends will help you focus on it all,

Ones who are truly there and give you another chance,

That love you under any circumstance,

 Even though, they may be disappointed in your choices, they support and stand by,

Allow you to spread your wings and fly,

To reach High and do your best

Take the time to invest,

In yourself, and one another,

Recall the things from Kindergarten,family,friends,especially   your Mother.

Learn from your successes and failures too,

Recognize the things you like to do,

Develop your talents and gifts,

When you are feeling down, and your spirit you want to lift,

Laugh from your heart and head to toe,

Stay calm, go with the flow

Sometimes, this is easier said, than done, take it one day at a time,

Have Faith! and soon,you will be fine.,

 

Find your, Elasticity of Spirit and know that you are not alone,

 Roll with the Punches and step out of your comfort zone,

Now and again, try something new

It may be rewarding, enlightening or fun,

The best thing you have done.

 

Dream, reach for the Stars! Have realistic expectations,

Renew your soul, take a vacation,

Watch a sunrise, hear children laugh and play,

Smell the rain, or sit and pray,

Feel the warmth of the sun on your face,

 Those you love, do embrace,

Give them a hug! Convey your feelings   and what they mean to you,

They may not have a clue,

And life is precious, and people too.

It's all about Balance and moderation, as they say,

We all need to fine tune it, including me,

It takes work, time annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd energy and insight,

With these ingrediants, you may get it right.

 

Time is, our most valuable Commodity, the clock does tick, the Hours do pass, 365 days a year,

What is your purpose here?

 On this Earth,

What is meaningful to you  ?
